Most sites agree with it being from Private Lives by Noel Coward although at least one site claims it as being Charles Dickens. http://www.norwich2008.com/news/fry.htm has the following: - MESSAGE FROM STEPHEN FRY 'Welcome to Norwich, a fine city' %96 as painful a sound to the ears of a Norvicensian as 'Very flat, Norfolk,' or 'Ha' you got a light, bor?' But, like many cliches, it is also a fact. Norwich is a fine city. None finer.
