Hiding your lifestyle?

... When you mention tribe I imagine indians with i bit of wood with a flint tied on the end , I take it its not like that?...

No, it's not like that, although you were close with the bit of wood, which may or may not have nails protruding, but not much flint ... you need to be further east in the Breckland for that.

Tribes? Long established families v incomers. Travellers (including settled relatives) v gorgers. Outlaws v police. In fact, there are families round here that the police do not tackle, unless they have absolutely no choice. Like your school reference, there is a history of towns and villages fighting each other. Family loyalties are pretty fierce and you'd better make sure you know who you're talking to if you're talking about someone.

Of course it's not all bad news, but it can feel like the wild west at times. A week or so after I moved to Norfolk I was in King's Lynn one Saturday afternoon and witnessed people belting each other with lumps of 2x2 and being bounced into shop windows. It was vicious and very frightening. I've never seen that happen anywhere else.
