 Normal for Norfolk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Normal for Norfolk (or NFN) is a slang term used in some parts of England for something that is peculiar, or weird.
The term comes from an urban myth that Social Services in Norfolk used to record the letters 'NFN' against the personal details of certain clients, where they were considered to be a bit strange or had peculiar habits.
Within Norfolk itself, the phrase is generally known as "Normal for Wisbech", which is in neighbouring Cambridgeshire.

If Norfolk's water demand were to increase or parts of its water system were to fail, be retired, or taken off line, for whatever reason, Virginia Beach would have to absorb the resultant shortages.
Because of the uncertainties surrounding Virginia Beach's access to Norfolk's surplus water, certain assumptions had to be made for the purposes of estimating the cost of an alternative in which the City purchased surplus water from Norfolk and provided the balance from seawater desalting.
That being said, for the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that the annual average Norfolk surplus would range from 20 mgd in dry years to 30 mgd in wet years, with an average of 25 mgd.
