If you want to be a good and nice person from Norwich, you need to express your ideas clearly and sometimes, with a different accent, that distinguishes Norwich from other places on the Earth.
We have a curious way to pronounce the "U". Maybe, the majority of English-speakers say "iu", but it is wrong, because in Norwich, our "U" sounds "U"; and it is the easiest and the best sound to this vowel, (If you have a doubt, you can ask this question to Spanish people).
So, we have an important difference with our vowels. A long time ago, our vowels were very short, like the rest of English-speakers. But, On 7th, August, two hundred years ago, we decided to change this and Nowadays oouur vooweels are a little bit long. We never say "no", we say "noooo" but with a enoooormus smile. (Each 7nd, August we celebrate our own Independency Vowels Day and we sing looong song with vowels)
English-speaker, (there are some English-speaker in UK, less in USA and three people from Spain), knows to finish word with "R". For example, we have a national hero, King Arthur, but he was so important and so handsome and so knight, that we are decided to have his "r" with us, And we never pronunce this letter, it is a National Reliquic.
In conclusion, if you want to be good Norwich people, you need to smile and be patient with foreing people (speciallity from Spain).
