    Good morning fellow canaries.
    It has been brought to my notice that there may have been some 'trouble' - not violence I hasten to add - with visiting fans this season.
    If you could be aware of the following for future home games and reort to the appropriate authorities please.

    This has been circulated apparently to fans of visiting teams this season to enable them to infiltrate our fair county.

    Remember please........ Keep them peeled.

    Notes of Interest.

    It is only necessary to produce this passport if challenged OR traveling in the county of Norfolk. They (the locals) only object to furriners (you) coming into their domain and NOT leaving it. In fact they have been known to assist vacating holiday – makers and visiting football fans with a pitch fork or well aimed turnip.
    If, as an immigrant, you may have purchased an illegal Norfolk passport on the black market, you have obviously not been residing in the county for the statutory 38 years.
    Beware if any locals pretend to accept you after 20 years, as this will certainly be a bluff and normally happens in a public house when you are buying a round. So, do not be fooled, they are not as slow as they make out. Indeed, they have a saying:- ‘Yow ken allus tell a Norfick bor, but yow keernt tell im much’


    USEFUL PHRASES:

    Good morning: Ar ya orrite
    Good afternoon: Ar ya orrite
    Good evening: Ar ya orrite
    Hello: Hay ya gitting on tagether
    Goodbye: Fare ya well tagether or Dew yow keep a troshun
    Unfortunate situation: A buggers muddle
    To chat with someone: Mardle
    To think someone is backward: Yow siller owld fule.
    Unimportant chatter: Squit
    Below standard: Thas a rumman
    A violent threat: Blast bor, yowl git a ding-a-tha-lug
    Feeling quite well: Fare t’ middlin

    FAMILY NAMES:

    Father: Far
    Mother: Martha
    Boy: Bor
    Girl: Gal

    A common question asked when trying to catch furriners out is: ‘Hay ya far got a dicky bor?’
    This means: ‘Has your father got a donkey boy?.




    PLEASE FILL IN THE GAPS AS APPROPRIATE.



    FOTA


    Last Nearme:
    Farst Nearmes:
    Okapeershun:

    NOTES ON FILLING OUT THE PASSPORT

    Surname: (larst nearme) - Always use a local one such as: skipper, Thrasher, Basher Thumper, Muddler, Cruncher or similar.

    Christian names: (farst nearmes) – Again, go for a local one such as: Humper, Spike, Didler, Thruster, Blinker, Catcher or something similar.

    Occupation: (Okapeershun) - Fearmer, Ret catcher, Kreeber, Sugarbeet Larry droiver or simply put I wark at the tearky fearm.

    Photograph: (Fota) – When posing, always hold a frozen turkey or sugar beet in front of you, place a straw in the corner of your mouth and piece of black paper over one of your two front teeth, smile and look at the ceiling with a simple expression on your face.

    Place of birth: (Plearce o’ Buth) - Choose a tricky one such as Happisburgh – Haysbra, Wymondham – Windham, or Hunstanton - Hunston



    These passports may be fake!!

    Actually, I hear this accent everytime I go the match home or away. In the last three away games I have taken a non norfolk boy with me, and he can't understand a word that most people say.

    I used to work in the bar at the end of Cromer Pier, and when the lifeboat crew came in, I couldn't understand alot of what they said, even though I was born and bred in North Norfolk. it wasn't the dialect, it was just the strenght of accent.

    My Grandfather, who lived at Langley Street, across the marshes from Cantley sugar factory, when he needed new cutting instruments for his stubble always asked for rayzor bleards!

    Now I always thought the 'a' in razor was pronounced the same as the 'a' in blades, but not in Granddad's speech!

    <laugh> Great stuff Maestro.

    Here's a good example of our wonderful dialect:

    Anyone interested in local history should have a look at the East Anglian Film Archive, where this clip is from. Some great clips of NCFC in the past too! <ok>

    When I lived in the Motherland, I used to love listening to Keith Skipper.
    I have this Norfolk Passport. For any of you exiles out there, if you would like a copy, I'll try and scan it in then send it to you if you send me a message and let me know. <ok>

    I remember a few years ago, the chef Gary Rhodes, was doing a programme and he visited cromer. He was interviewing 'Shrimp' - you must remember him Cromer canary lol.
    He was learning how to dress crabs and he asked shrimp how he had done. "Thas not bad fur a furriner" came the reply. <laugh>

    <laugh> Loving this thread

    I was born and raised in Ipswich up to the age of 11 and then moved to Cambridge. The weird thing is that I never developed the full on Suffolk accent. I still have trouble to this day understanding what some of the locals are going on about and thats just within my own family! <laugh>

    I also posted this on other team's boards as well Warky, and so there hasn't been one negative comment. They all seem to appreciate it, and some have even said they might get some of their posters to post local stuff as well <ok>
