Can this be true?

[Mrs Westy]

while your here, do you fancy replying to this thread on blatchat which is implying that people from Essex only drive XR2's?  

I'd love to but unfortunately I think the fog index of what I write might just be a bit too high for the poor pups.

Oh, sorry, but don't you own it's spiritual successor (or everything except the rear bumper   )?

Mrs Westy (or should that be testy), in Essex a BSc(hons) with a variety of GCSE/A levels at grades A/B might amount to something, but in Oxford you wouldn’t even get a job in Burger King with those qualifications.  As for your rigorous intelligence testing for job position revealed intelligence level in 99th percentile of population may sound laudable, but being in the top 1% of the Essex population means you probably know someone who can read or write. In Oxford my paperboy has a PhD.

I'll just get a chair and some pop corn...

[Blatman]

Save me a place, mate, I'll get the beers in.........

[Mrs Westy]

Soz, I've been in a meeting.  Doing some work

It was national.  National statistics include the populations of Oxford and your paper boy so clearly my argument still stands.  And the only reason I never did a PhD to reach such dizzy heights of daily news inputter is because I'm too darn lazy to put in the work.  Would you like to continue digging or shall I hand you your coat?

[Mrs Westy]

but in Oxford you wouldn’t even get a job in Burger King with those qualifications.

That's because of the BK policy of only employing geography graduates who will never get a job doing anything else.   At least they will manage to find their way to work in the mornings.

more popcorn blatman?

[Blatman]

Thanks westy. I'll nip to the bar on my way back from the bog...........

[Mark Stanton]

Mrs Westy, apart from a tinge of benign pity, whatever you might think(which you hopefully do) I have absolutely nothing against people from Essex. In fact every time I visit the place I find the plethora  of shell-suits and white, rag-top XR3i’s oddly quaint.

I can fully understand how someone born and (in)bred in the county could easily be misled into thinking that all females really were called Sharon or Tracey who needed a decimal point to achieve a 3 figure IQ, but the rest of the world really isn’t like that. Which reminds me, I once went to a Westfield track day specially organised for Essex girls and watched in awe as they skilfully raced their fiancée’s cars around a giant inflatable handbag. And lets not forget, Liz Hurley is an Essex girl.

To cheer you up I have included my 3 favourite Essex Girl jokes:

Q: Why do Essex girls drive cars with sunroofs?

A: More leg room.

Q: How do you tell when an Essex girl reaches orgasm?

A1: She drops her nail-file.

Q: What's an Essex girl's favourite wine?

A: "Daaaady, I want to go to Eee-bee-zah!"

This is more entertaining than the usual Zetec Vx debate. Get me a pint of Bass and a packet of crisps on your way back from the bar Blatman    

[Blatman]

Will do........What flavour crisps?

[Matt Seabrook]

Cheese and onion please.

[Blatman]

2 bags?    

[Matt Seabrook]

You know me to well mate
