Being a Welshman Living in Norwich I can confirm it’s like a different language when talking to the locals! They also have confusing location names to highlight the ‘foreigners’ to their soil. Places like Happisburgh (Hayzbrugh), Wymondham (Windum) & Costessey (Cossey) all trip up the unwary to be ridiculed by the locals.
