Exactly!   Norfolk people never drop their aitches. This sets it apart from Essex or Cockney.

"Oi hint never hard nothin loik it".

This is also an example of the classic Norfolk triple negative!

And that is the trap that luvvies that try to speak in a Norfolk accent fall flat on their behinds. They tend to end up sounding like some estuary  Essex/Devonian numptie.

With fond memories of the Singing Postman, who actually came from Suffolk, but did a lovely Cromer drawl :

Trains they goo along the train line ; cars, the goo along the rood,

old self binder goo along the corn and the poocha, he goo along the wood.

Airyplanes goo along a' narthin ; ships they goo along the sea.

An oi keep a'tellin moi little ol' mawther ; she'll hatta come along a' me.

Wha' ya on harr - liddy?
