I hate the stereotype that all people in Essex are Pimps and Sluts.

If you've ever heard of Essex, have you only heard of it through its bad reputation or have you heard any of the positive things about it?

This is also a call out to anyone else in Essex as that is where I'm from.

I'm an American and even I've heard about how horrible Essex is. XD

I just know someone there. I guess that's positive..? He's a pretty cool chap - goes by the name Simon. However I can't really comment one way or another now how horrible the city is.

(JOKE JOKE JOKE)
Sorry i couldn't help myself
and before ya say nowt, i'm a Dagenham Lass Born And Bred so i'm also taking the micky out of myself there blaugh
And i'd have to say, i do think sometimes the rest of the world who knows of essex forgets that there are people who are educated quite well from essex! never mind, we all have our sterotypes to make fun of biggrin

The stereotype is entirely justified. Even the most unassuming couples seem to have fallen prey to such degrading vices as have become the standard.

There's nothing wrong with vices though. Just, the wrong sorts of vice, done the wrong way.

My understanding of cities in the County of Essex is so poor that I had to google for results. Subsequently, I got bloody confused.

Towns and Cities in Essex County

Amesbury* Hamilton Methuen* Salem*
Andover* Haverhill* Middleton Salisbury
Beverly* Ipswich Nahant Saugus*
Boxford Lawrence Newbury Swampscott
Danvers* Lynn* Newburyport* Danvers
Essex Lynnfield North Andover Wenham
Georgetown Manchester Peabody* West Newbury
Gloucester* Marblehead* Rockport
Groveland Merrimac* Rowley


It was only when I scrolled down a little bit that I found that it was some sort of American Essex which claims to contain Ipswitch, Salisbury, Gloucester, Andover and Newbury.

So, to move-on from my stupidity..

..does Essex have a primary city? ..and is it not Chelmsford then?

Chelmsford is the county town of Essex, but occasionally the council try to make it a city. Colchester is also a town, and will not be upgraded to city status as it will then loose its oldest recorded town status.

I am thinking.... Essex = County....... Towns like Chelmsford, basildon, romford, southend, colchester and so on
and our nearest city being .... London
