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
