We’ve been whipping up some t-shirts for a cool company called Normal for Norfolk, based in…..you guessed it, Norfolk!  It’s in a beautiful part of the county called Wells-Next-The-Sea and the clothing shop sells quirky gear and home furnishings which are described as being ‘normal for Norfolk’ (or N.F.N).  The term N.F.N was a derogatory term used by doctors at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital to categorise some of their more ‘intellectually challenged’ patients. The term was then abbreviated to N.F.N. which could easily be added to case notes for the purposes of quick reference.  In some ways N.F.N. has been embraced as a term of endearment, and its popularity demonstrates the admirable ability of Norfolk folk to laugh at themselves.  The shop itself is about appreciating the best of Norfolk and celebrating what makes it unique, a relatively unspoilt backwater where most things are best left just as they are.  Check it out on Staithe Street if you are hanging out there on hols this Summer.
