OI!

OI!

I don't think Albs was referring to you Ron 
I have not had any serious trouble here in the last 9 years. I can only speak as I find I guess, which is why I am surprised at the comments received.
You must be right in the thick of it Albs, given your degree of knowledge
Peoples perception of places, towns, is very interesting. A lot of work colleagues, when they ask where do you live & I reply Halstead, time & time again they have said "Oh it's lovely there, a nice part of Essex, much better than where I live"

[Bigron]

JDX, the "OI!" was directed at Lizzie, not Albs, for her slur on Essex folk. 

Ron.

[JDX]

Aaah....apologies Ron, I got the insult correct but the wrong person. In that case, apologies to you too Albs & shame on you Lizzie (only joking!)

What is it with Essex girls?

They can't all be thick and have loose knicker elastic.

Ron.

Sorry Ron, but my female Essex cousins are so up themselves, always were, that they fill the "Only Way Is Essex" slot exactly!!  That is polite compared to what my blunt speaking Eastender Nan used to say about them

I cannot feel sorry for the Essex girl stereotype that exists now in the media and elsewhere.  They invited that on themselves by constantly encouraging it every time they appear on the telly or in newspapers and magazines, which I assume they were handsomely paid for!

[Bigron]

Never seen that programme, so I cannot comment, nor have I met any of the "yo-yo drawers" types that you allude to. Sheltered life? Moi? 

Ron.

There are two Hedinghams, one is Castle, which used to be quite genteel when i was a lad, a long time ago . The other is Sible which was always a bit of a dump. Don,t think things have changed much over the years.

One of wifeys teachers lives in a posh part of Sheffield. One morning the whole street awoke to find the potted plants missing from their patios. She, personally, lost two bay trees.
They’ll take owt.

Yes but that's up North

Essex. I was based in Colchester for three years, used to go to sunny Clacton most weekends in the summer. Used to visit Chelmsford quite often and had friends in Braintree. I know where I’d rather live.

Although West Mersea was nice and quiet.

Youngest daughter got married in Halstead[it was where son-in-law hailed from]and lived there a short while before moving about a bit depending on where he was posted[he was in the army]it seemed to me a pretty reasonable sort of place whenever I went for a visit.Son-in-law now out of army and they've settled in Braintree,can't comment on the place as I've not yet managed to get for a visit.

[JDX]

I drive by Braintree fairly regularly but don't venture into it too often. I much prefer heading the other way: Sudbury is a lovely town & Long Melford is pretty. Good dog walking....

My Omega came from Braintree.
