Re: Regional Prejudices
Pats, you have the strangest accent for Kent I've ever 'heard'
Real Essex people have a country accent, which you rarely hear now .. invaders settled after the war
I love accents, can't say I dislike any, but I do struggle understanding them when they are too broad.
Couldn't resist putting this on - no apologies to other Essex dwellers here.
An Essex Winter Story
As a lorry driver in Essex stops for a red light, a blonde in her car pulls up alongside. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his lorry cab, and knocks on the door. The driver lowers the window, and she says,
'Hi, my name is Sharon and you are losing some of your load!"
The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the lorry stops for another red light, the girl again catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his cab, and knocks on the door.
The guy lowers the window, and she says,
'Hi, my name is Sharon and you are losing some of your load.'
Shaking his head, the driver ignores her again and continues down the street.
At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the lorry cab door. The driver lowers the window again she says,
'Hi, my name is Sharon and you are losing some of your load!
When the light turns green, the driver revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of his lorry, and runs back to the blonde
He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says.......
"Hi, my name is Kevin and I'm gritting the road."
It's not true that all Essex girls are blonde and dumb, some are brunette and dumb
