I from the US, just learned about these today, and had a chuckle.
an essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. it was her boyfriend, urgently warning her “treacle, i just heard on the news that theres a car going the wrong way on the A13. please be careful!” “its not just one car!” said the essex girl “theres hundreds of them!”
An Essex girl is involved in a car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on the scene.
Medic: “I’m a paramedic and I’m going to ask you some questions. OK?”
Girl: “OK”
Medic: “what’s your name?”
Girl: “Sharon”
Medic: “OK Sharon, is this your car?”
Sharon: “yes”
Medic: “where are you bleeding from?”
Sharon: “Romford, mate.”
(I was born in Essex so I think I’m allowed to tell these :p)
Hell, that’s going back a way. I don’t think that I have heard one of those since the 90s. They really haven’t aged well - not that they were exactly the height of PC humour back then.
What’s the difference between a shopping trolley and an Essex girl?
A shopping trolley has a mind of its own.
It seems like these are just “blond jokes” from the 80’s or recycled jokes about 2nd-gen feminists in america. I have no doubt they have their roots in misogyny.
Holy shit it’s a joke. You take the fun out of everything, if you don’t like it that’s ok, just shut up
