I've met dozens of newcomers to Norfolk  who appear to collectively  hold this view. So is there any truth in it, or is it an example of how easy it can be to view things from one perspective only.

Here's what I think:

Some people base their entire view or belief about a situation on a single piece of evidence. They then apply their thinking as a general rule. For example: I didn't hit it off with them, therefore I expect I'll find it hard to get on with anyone here.  

I'd like a pound for every time I've heard someone say this.

The truth is that people everywhere are different - it's part of what makes us unique as a species - and yes, maybe Norfolk people are different, but not in the way you might expect.    

Norfolk people are grounded - they tell you what they think, what they really think, not what they think others want to hear.
