Norwich and Ipswich are teams that each represent a whole county. You get that feeling when you go there.
Rural Norfolk is brilliant. Big skies, beautiful villages. Only in my mid 30s, but I came away from my first visit there feeling that I understood a little bit more about what life must have been like in the 1950s. (And I mean that in a good way.)

I used to work in Beccles-very "League of Gentlemen"!
Wherabouts Adje? I lived there for 14 years, moved from Swindon in 1973! Came back homesick!! |

Places like Holt and Cromer are nice, if you can avoid the locals and the tourists. |

I lived opposite the boozer on Larkman Lane in Norwich for a year once. Apparantly the estate round the back is known as "Monkey Island". Proper shithole. Other than that, its a nice city and and is surrounded by lots of beautiful places to visit.
The summer of '95 was fucking hot, the booze flowed and the women were easy...them were the days!

With all due respect I was alive in the 50's and it was fuck all like East Angular, I've been around most of it and it's right queer country...might as well be Kazakhstan as far as I'm concerned, no wonder Ronnie came home. |

There are indeed some strange people around there, especially outside the cities.

The reason you see all the immigrants in Commercial Road, Ronnie, is because they're working for the agencies, waiting for vans to take them to the chicken slaughterers, and other such fine work which the more indigenous populace don't fancy doing. |

Normal For Norfolk.
genuinely used in medical reports in the east. if someone is quite clearly nuts, but not too much, you mark them down as "NFN". I lived opposite the boozer on Larkman Lane in Norwich for a year once. Apparantly the estate round the back is known as "Monkey Island".
I can vouch for that; my mate used to live in Monkey Island. its not too bad considering the density of chavs. |

A good friend of mine is a doctor in Norwich, some of the stories are bizarre.

I'd pluck shickens if it was decent money...I'd probably fuck them first too... |

Australia needs shicken pluckers...don't think they're too fussy about the deviancy, perhaps you should emigrate. |

Might be a while yet...I'd get going if I was you..the White Australia Policy may have been binned, but the Coloured Australia Policy is bound to happen in PC World. |
