A poll of over fifty-thousand people has found that Norwich is more popular than major cities including Manchester, Birmingham and even London, ‘The Big Smoke’ itself. However, many areas across the country have been rated as more popular than our beloved city, creating local headlines such as “How can Stoke be rated a nicer city than Norwich?” and comments of, “At least we have Delia Smith!”. Norwich ended up as the twenty-fourth most popular city in that YouGov survey, and I was certainly amongst those who were a little disappointed with the result.
