East Anglian Dialect and humour.
Just thought Id introduce you all to our dialect....
Norfolk is not simply a word that describes a county."Norfolk" describes also a language,a humour and a way of life. Spoken Norfolk has a stout and uniquely resistant quality and only people born in the county are able properly to penetrate it and repeat it with their own tongues. Just as their language, so also the people of Norfolk are tough, resistant and impenetrable. They guard to themselves the secrets of their language and of their humour. Yet humour there is in the Norfolk people,riotous and abundant. When you read Norfolk tales, remember that they are tales about a highly observant, subtle and recondite people.Therefore, always think twice before you laugh at a Norfolk tale - the laugh might be on you!"

You'ed think the way they look at yuh,

Bin cummin'here now this larst twenty year
'Yuh see doctor, it's me poor ole feet'.
:lmao I might just start my ole tounge agin
