Ok, so as a proper Norfolk girl I'm SLIGHTLY biased here- but I genuinely believe that Naaaridge is an amazing city. I'm away from home living in Staffordshire for uni, and as much as I love it here, the main thing I miss is the accent! "Alright duck/ chuck/ shoog" (as in sugar) is a lovely greeting, but just doesn't compare with the Norfolk "Alroight moi daaaahlin?/ moi woman". Also, nobody knows what a bishybarnaby is, something which disturbed me greatly as I naturally assumed it was just standard English for ladybird! When I'm on the train home between Nottingham and Norwich, I never feel happier than when a load of proper ...  Read the complete review

Norwich - Norfolk Norwich - full of carrot munching farmers ooh arr, with tractor exhibitions and combine harvesters. Is this your view of Norwich?

Now, from the title it sounds as if I'm not impressed with Norwich doesn't it? Well, that's not the case. However, saying that, I'm not the other way inclined either. When it comes to agreeing with the signs that greet you from at least three separate points around the city, I can't. Apparently 'Norwich is a fine city'. I have no reason to doubt this, but since I've lived here for the last 28 years, I've nothing to compare life here in 'Naarridge' with. I?m remaining impartial. You have to admit .... The football team is crap though. But as I neither watch, or like the game, it doesn't really matter does it? ...  Read the complete review
