Why dont you try to think of something for yourself next time. Try WH Smith in Ipswich for a similar work on Suffolk accents/dialects. We have a funny accent. You have a funny accent. Get over it. I work in Suffolks county town on a regular basis and this is what I have picked up. Ipswich people add an extra syllable to many words. ie  Ipswich TOW-EN   I use the TELEPHO-WEN I dialled NIY-EN NIY-EN NIY-EN. They also sing instead of speaking as in  Howw  yooo  gittin on boyee. As for intelligence. Congratulations to Suffolk on getting a university at last (albeit a branch of UEA & Essex) Is it any coincidence that Suffolk is the LAST county to get a uni? Anyway Terry, I am pleased for you that you are leaving school. Good luck as a grown up.        Report

There are some really good dialect pages http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Norwich is the one you cribbed from but try this one for size: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Ipswich Lincoln City 125th kick off August 8.
