Being a dull person I was looking at the debate on the National Security Bill on BBC Parliament, and came across someone called Lord Anderson of Ipswich.
From his Wikipedia entry, he was formerly David Anderson, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism, who I had heard of.
He is a native of Edinburgh, and from his Wiki entry there is no explanation of why the chose Ipswich to be included in his title.
Does anyone know why? [Post edited 1 Mar 2023 20:50]

Does he choose the title or inherit/get given it? Aren't they frequently associated with someone with very little recent connection to that place? Lord Medway is from Suffolk. |  |

Chosen for them maybe? From what little I know, they get some input but maybe the place they wanted was already taken so they just got given Ipswich? |  |

I'm fairly sure they get some input, there are some very specific places given to people with some obvious ties. | |

Until Paragraph 2, I thought this was going to be a post about Paul Anderson who deserves a title for getting the equaliser against 'them' in the home leg of the play offs. |  |

Much like Scott of the Antarctic
He only went there once
Should I be known as Harry of Basingstoke ? |  | | |

Possibly lives or lived in the area. As far as I'm aware, that's mostly the origin of the geographical tag in the title of Life Peers, that or somewhere they want to be associated with.
The fact the supporters in his coat of arms are a pair of oystercatchers suggest he's at least got some connection to the Orwell. http://officeofthelordlyon.blogspot.com/2023/01/lord-anderson-of-ipswich-kcb-kc.
Perhaps he just liked Pin Mill? |  |

He's based here, and also used to be on TWTD...
Took him to a game quite recently (we're related by marriage) |  | | |

In fact he was questioned about his internet presence, including TWTD, when security vetted
said he mainly contributed about midfield formations, rather than anything too scurrilous... | | | |

he alas gave up his profile (and season ticket) but mainly because we got a bit cr*p at that point, rather than any concern over any TWTD radical wing | | | |

Forum is definitely easier to use since the military wing of TWTD was disbanded |  | | |

Was he more in favour of traditional wingers then? Or are we not talking about Midfielders anymore? |  | | |

It's Frimleyblue isn't it? |  |

The simple answer is because he and his family used to live in Ipswich - fairly near to Portman Road as it happens. | | | |
