Drive you steady now, this is Naarfuk

Deep in Naarfuk, life moves at a much slower pace. It is great to see this has been reflected in the village of Deopham where its welcoming sign ask motorists rather quaintly to “drive you steady”.

I imagine this use of local dialect instantly puts a smile on the face of drivers, who are more used to official warning signs urging them to reduce their speed.

You would surely have to slow down to a tractor’s pace in order to enjoy it and go with the flow. A very clever marketing ploy.

  1. I guess them locals have their own special way of pronouncing it. How about: Dopeham, Deepham, Dee-ope-am or Dopam. Do you have any other suggestions?

  2. How is Deopham pronounced, as a matter of interest?
