    Yes geographically I am an Essex girl, no I don’t dance around my handbag, no I don’t own any white stilettos, no I do not consider a bus stop shelter as contraception, I do not own casual sports-wear, I am not orange, I do not go clubbing in Bas-Vegas, Romford or Brentwood, yes I do drive a Golf but it’s an estate so that’s all right & I do not have a chav accent, now that’s out of the way.. pleased to meet you.

      Quite possibly,

      you don’t want to know the number of times that I have had to explain the difference between living in & being of the same perceived culture of an area

          Nice of you to ask.

          Tonight: I'm on the mainland this weekend and so will do some bar hopping this evening.
          Sat: Bit of sightseeing and walking for miles to blow off the hangover.
          Sat night: GOTO Tonight
          Sun: GOTO Sat

          You?

            I have the same problem, as soon as you venture away from the South East and mention to people you are from Essex, 9 times out of 10 the first thing people reference it TOWIE. I have taken to saying I am from "near London" or just say Chelmsford hoping they don't know where it is.

                I know where chelmsford is and would argue that its not Essex in the way Towie and Southend are.

                  Unfortunately it is heading that way. Young girls are seeing the Towie culture as something to aspire to and not see the character for the oxygen-thieves they really are.
