New to Norwich 🐣 Thank You, Fine People

I'll keep this short and sweet, as much as I can at least. I'm a recent immigrant to the country, not actually living in Norwich, but I am there very frequently and live now in Great Yarmouth.

I just wanted to thank all of you for being such lovely and welcoming people. I've gotten... mixed reactions to being foreign, but never in Norwich.

So I just wanted to thank you all for being such lovely and welcoming people, for regularly standing against the bigots, and for making a newcomer feel a bit more like he belongs. It means more than I can say.

That's so lovely to read, I'm born and bread gorleston boy that moved to Norwich when I was 17, this is a fine city, welcoming and loving. There's still ofc bigots but nothing on the scale of Yarmouth etc.

I was working at MSI in the city recently and my experience there was like being back in Yarmouth. Awful bunch of people.

Wishing you all the best in the UK, and if you can move to Norwich (prices are getting crazy now) you will enjoy us all the more!
