Eleven reasons to raise a child in Norwich

1) They will learn to stand in a dead straight single file queue to get on the bus

2) No falling over. Children in Norwich will never fall over once they have learnt to walk, as the people in front will be walking so slowly they will be forced to pay exquisite attention to every step.

3) 365 Pubs. That's an awful lot of places as a teenager to attempt to get served.

4) Living close to Carrow road and affordable Premiership football. Bonding time with daddy! (coffee with a book time for mummy!)

5) A tolerant middle classness who cope with ridiculous students on a daily basis and don't even blink. Purple, red and blue hair, unwashed clothes, the odd protest with placards declaring a right to choose what everyone else eats- all accepted!

6) Snow. Every winter without fail. Learning to fall off a sledge- integral to every childhood.

7) Jarrolds. The department store. Quality cooked breakfast, eggs cooked infront of you, unlimited coffee, and dignifed people serving you in old fashioned aprons, who seem to love their jobs!

8) The LCR. Is there a better place to meet a potential spouse than terribly drunk on £1 a pint beer, sitting on the sticky floor of the dark university night club?

9) Pedro's restaurant. Wear a sombrero AND eat dinner at the same time?!? Does life get better?

10) (I'm running out of ideas now, can you tell?) school friends with webbed feet!

11) Learning about mustard in th Colmans Mustard museum?

A potential Norwichite. However she didnt seem to like it there!
