Is everyone from Norffolk this stupid?

Crossing the road is presenting a problem
Surely it can't be that difficult?
Kind of ironic that I can't spell Norfolk properly in the title......

New pedestrian crossings are causing so much confusion a county council is going to teach people to use them.
Norfolk County Council says it has received so many complaints about the new crossings it has prompted them to take action.
Extra signs are to be put up to help people using the crossings and a campaign is being launched to raise public awareness.

I do like the councils technical speak though - "pedestrians are coming into conflict with motorists" Arr, But what you have to remember is that we don't wear trainers like you townies, we have Wellinton Boooots an it arder to cross the road in em.
No, not everyone in Norfolk is that stupid, they just have a few more than the national average.
You've heard of Drs writing on patients notes things like FLK (Funny Looking Kid)and MILF (you should know that by now), well round here we have NFN (Normal For Norfolk)!

These stupid crossings have been installed in Notts too. I reluctantly agree with the Norfolk folk. It is not that I don't understand them, I do...It's not exactly rocket science, the thing is if you approach the crossing and the Green man is on green, once you have left the pavement you can no longer see whether it is on green or red. There is one instance where you have to corss five lanes of traffic, so you can imagine that in that time, the man could easily have changed and therefore the traffic about to move, but you know nothing about it until you hear the throttle blips of the cars about to race off. Seriously bad idea in my opinion.

And in Bristol
If it's busy you have to wait till the myopic tw@s next to the lights have realised they've changed cos no one else can see the f
king things
Ah, Norfolk. Yes, for some reason I have noticed that the worst examples of numptyism and lentilism I've ever had the misfortune to meet have come from the land of no motorways and intra-familial relations.
I've always wondered if there's a sign outside Hethel that reads 'here be dragons', or maybe it's a secrecy ploy - no-one will know anything about new Lotus cars because they'll never know anything like that could come from there.

"Norfolk" - the gene pool's got no lifeguard there, I'm afraid.
It doesn't need one, it's so shallow that you couldn't drown in it if you tried!
Arright buh?
Ain't that the truth. I was asked by a couple of brothers from Norfolk to value their business a few months ago. When I looked at their accounts they were making spectacular losses and had a 'negative' Balance Sheet. Undeterred, I asked about the company's future potential? They said they've got just one client (who's looking dodgy), they're in a dying sector and want to 'jump ship' before it sinks. Before I gave an opinion, I asked them what they think the company's worth. They said £2.5m. I said "that's a very specific figure, how did you arrive at that?". They said "we need a milion after tax each, to retire on". I said "what's that got to do with company value?" They said "that's what we need". I said, the eality is "you pay me to take it off your hands chaps - not the other way round". Needless-to-say, I declined the investment opportunity!
