<<<MORE COMMENTS To Roy Cullum: I remember a great jazz club new Anglia called Studio 4. Is that the one you remember? ANDREW STEEL, NEW ZEALAND To Roy Cullum, London: The only club I remember at that time was the Samson and Hercules in Norwich. I don't know if it was in Anglia Square but I do remember it was quite the place to go! Hello Norfolk. Love the entire site and really enjoy the webams. Can understand the cost involved to do that, but sure wish there was more. How about doing more on the small towns are what is going on in them? I treasure every bit of infomation as Norfolk is, and always will be, home. Keep up the great work. PAM, BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA I`ve just come across this page and it`s nice to know that there are other ex-pats around the globe. I was born in Norwich in 1957 then moved to London in the late 70s. I`ve been here ever since but visit Norwich as much as possible to see family etc. It`s nice to visit the home town. As a lad I was a frequent visitor to the Castle. It would be nice to know if anyone else can remember sites and sounds of the 70s in Norwich. I spent many a night with friends etc.in clubs in Norwich. A popular spot at that time was in Anglia Square but I can`t remember the name. Can anyone help? ROY CULLUM, LONDON

Just found the site...great...I live in Delaware US and was homesick and started a lavender farm to remind me of the wonderful colours of my youth. I was a Dereham native and now the rest of the family live in Downham Market. I try and get home as often as possible. I do miss walking the cliff towards Old Hunstanton. It's flat here too so feel as if I can close my eyes and smell "home". PAULINE PETTITT, DELAWARE, USA
Have just found your site, and I think it's great. I am a Swaffham girl, (Sampson family) and moved to the US in 1990. I try to go home at least once a year, and come back loaded down with Branston and pickled onions! I just wish I could bring back butter, bacon and pork pies. Really miss fish and chips while walking around the Swaffham Saturday market too. If anyone knows my mum Margeret, brother Roger or sister Jackie, tell them I said hello. Would love to correspond with expats via email. CHRIS THOMPSON (SAMPSON), CENTREVILLE, VIRGINIA
Just found your web site. As a Norfolk Dumpling I really appreciate being able to have access to the news on line (audio) It would be very nice to be able to get Radio Norfolk audio on line all the time. Enjoy the webcam views of Norwich. JOHN CHAMBERS, MALTA
I grew up in Norfolk, and only now realise how backward and insular the people are. I was raised in King's Lynn and haven't honestly got a good word to say about it. I have watched the place suck the life out of too many people to leave the matter unaddressed. What exactly is good about the place? The fact that the landscape is ugly and boring? The fact that the entire county has been neglected and left undeveloped? The fact that it sucks the dreams, energy and imagination out of every person that lives there? The fact that Norfolk people are so unfriendly and back stabbing that it takes anybody five generations to be accepted there? The fact that it has the cheapest property in the country? Norfolk left me depressed and empty. I miss not one thing about the place, and rejoice at all the people I left behind. I am sorry for them however. How little of life, they will ever experience or understand. NICHOLAD RALPH, LOS ANGELES T ARMHALL responds: to Nicholas Ralph, Los Angeles, It is good to hear a dissenting voice! Let me assure you that Norfolk is not the only backward and insular area around. The world is full of backwaters in which bigotry, small-mindedness and ignorance thrive. In fact, I am moving (back) to Norwich to escape an even worse place...!
Enjoy LA.
I was born and raised in Wymondham, Norfolk, for 20 years. Then I met and married an American man and we moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where we have lived for the past 13 years. We have two beautiful daughters, who we brought home to Wymondham last summer, to vist all my family and friends. Of course, I miss my family but I also miss shopping in Norwich, English foods, fish and chips, good Indian food, amongst other things. We took the girls to Sandringham. I really miss not being able to do things like that with the girls over here in Oklahoma. Oklahoma State University just celebrated its 100th year, and people made a big deal about it. My Mum's house in England is over 300 years old! I would come back tomorrow, but my husband reminds me that the quality of life in England would be so much different than it is here. We try to come home every other year. Mum and Dad try to visit us on the alternate years. CORAL WHITE, OKLAHOMA, USA
I have just found this wonderful web site. I am British and lived in East Harling for many years before coming to the USA 10 years ago. When I first came to America I was impressed and thought this is the land of opportunity but as I get older I realize the quatity of life is what I miss the most. The real, caring, honest and kind people of Norfolk is what I miss the most. I will be HOME again in three weeks time for my once-a-year fix. Try as I may when the plane lands in London tears jump from my eyes. If I didn't love my American husband of 32 years I would move back in a heart beat. MARALYN YAPLE, CORTLAND, NEW YORK, USA
Hi there, I moved from Norwich in July 1999 to the USA. Although there are a lot of things I don't miss, including the weather, I do miss the old buildings and history. Still, I try to get back once a year. I think you miss people more than places, and as I'm now able to be with my wife, this is now my home. PETER FROWEN, FAYETTEVILLE, USA
Hi, Just found this site Feb 20, 2001. My wife and I have lived in Cary, North Carolina, USA, for nine years now. We moved here from King's Lynn and are originally from Spalding/Holbeach, Lincs. As much as we've enjoyed the experience of living abroad, our big plan is to move back to Norfolk. We miss the people, the country, hiking public paths, pubs, good fish and chips and especially mushy peas, pork pies, and HISTORY. We would like to meet Norfolk e-mail pals. JOHN PARSONS, CARY, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
I was born in Norwich, but currently live in San Francisco. What I miss the most is the countryside. I'm always reminded of this when I travel from London to Norwich on the trains (assuming they're running of course) and as you get close to Norwich the countryside starts to look beautiful - to me anyway. California's beautiful too, but I miss the fields of Norfolk. BEKI GRINTER, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
I have been in Aberdeen for nearly two years now,and it surprises me how many people mistake my dialect for New Zealand/Australia/South African. Do any other "expats" find this? MARK BANE, ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND
I've just discovered Talk Norfolk and think it's wonderful. Born and raised in Norwich, I left to live in the Far East, then Canada. I miss the laid back atmosphere, the friendliness and the naturalness of the people - plus the market stalls. I visit as often as I can, and read about Norfolk via the internet. I've been out of the country for nearly 30 years, but there's no place like "home". JUDITH LESSITER, MONTREAL, CANADA
Thanks for the excellent website! I love Norwich, and, though my ancestors left Tharston (near Long Stratton) for America in 1635, it's quickly becoming a second home to me (in the summertime, at least). BBC Radio Norfolk, The Trafford Arms Pub, Eric White's Out Of Time Record Shop, and your miserable inner-city traffic mess are all things I daydream about during the cold, dark, dreary winter days. I'm pleased to hear that I'll soon be able to listen to a webcast of BBC Radio Norfolk! Congratulations to David Clayton and his staff for their marvellous work. MICK TUTHILL, MADISON, NEW JERSEY, USA
My mother and brother live in Norwich and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have never lived in Norwich but have visited usually every two years, so I enjoy coming onto the site and checking the webcams. How about including a section on employment? MIKE BLANDEN, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
I love your site! I used to live in Norfolk and like to catch up on what is happening. I am a New Zealander but really miss the wonderful people we met and lived with in Norfolk. I consider myself a Norfolk expat!!
