[RubberTreePlant]

Settle an argument please!

I say ridge

But there's no d?
Nor-rich

Nor idge not with two rs.

Nor rich

It be Narridge and they have caows there.

Actually, Norridge if you live elsewhere.

Naaaridge if you're local. West of Loostarft and East of Humbase.

But norich really.

I say it more like Norritch

Ha! Looks like it's controversial outside this house too.

Nor-ridge or Nar-ridge as a PP has said.

I’m in Ireland I always though it was Nor-Rich

I am not from there and say Norrich. DH is from there and says Norridge. I cannot, though.

It be Narridge and they have caows there.

I'd say Nor-ridge (born and lived there for many years but don't have much of the accent) I've heard it said Nar-ridge as well!

Nor rich here. Is it anything like shroows bury (normal) / shrows bury (putting on airs)?

Naaaridge if you're local. West of Loostarft and East of Humbase.

Lowestoft, and erm, Homebase?

I'd say Nor-ridge (born and lived there for many years but don't have much of the accent) I've heard it said Nar-ridge as well!

Excellent. I'm claiming a win

It looks like we are moving there, and DH keeps laughing at me for saying 'Norridge'. It's obviously my E Anglian heritage coming out.

Naw-itch according to the in laws. I say Nor ridge

Not so far away in Essex (said Es-ix 😉) we would also say

Now try Wymondham, Hautbois & Happisburgh

Windum. My favourite place name in the country
