Norwich , eh? Well,in Norwich they are not afraid to say what they really think, rather than pay lip service to some idea. We used to say that Norwich had 365 pubs, because they were needed every day, but only 52 churches because they were only needed once a week. The decline in both may indicate something; a declining belief in the power of drink and prayer, perhaps.
