Damn, I thought it was too good to be true.
However, if nothing else, it gives a good model for what the UK service should ideally look like.

Well that was interesting. I ran both, putting in a VFR route from EGLS to EGNC through EGTT. (Old Sarum to Carlisle via London FIR).
The Norwegian output printed at 2 pages, the UK output at 14.
Missing from the Norwegian output were numerous displays, flybys, chimneys cranes and u/s obstruction lights. It also didnt include any navaid unservieabilities. It failed to pick up the airfield NOTAMs, which were in the UK NOTAMS, one of which was parachute dropping near Carlisle airfield and more than incidental to safety.
On the other hand, the UK version didn't include the TAF data which personally I think is a very useful inclusion, nor strangely did it include the activation of Barkstone Heath ATZ which is in the Norwegian data.
Oh well, I still think that in terms of user-friendliness the Norwegian system has much going for it, but if the data's not there I can't use it. What a shame.
Roll on public domain graphical information.

(GPS jamming was in the Norwegian IFR NOTAM, but not the Norwegian VFR NOTAM)
