    people from essex tend to sound like londoners except they only talk from one side of their mouths

    How rude, I do no such thing Where did you get this from because I can't think of it :/ Is it from TOWIE? That show has already give us a bad image Also, that's another problem - the Essex/London border has a specific accent (TOWIE accent), while north/mid-Essex has a different accent. A typical Essex accent isn't too gruffly, but they refuse to acknowledge "my" as a word and instead use "me" which is infuriating

    "give us"? it's "given us" gommeinc! god, the essex boy in you is showing!

    lol just generalising, it's how my grandparents speak and they're from grays/thurrock which I guess makes sense since it's basically on the border of london. I have friends dotted about essex and you're right, they all have quite distinctly different accents. A lot of east anglians seem to have a 'neutral' accent whereas others appear to embrace it. My grandparents from suffolk are right farmers but I don't think I have a very strong accent at all - I just get told that I 'sound posh' :S

    The scouse is correct.... it's a mixture of Scottish/Irish and English/Welsh. I sound scouse too.

    I don't sound like the Londoner accent in that video, and tbh I don't know anyone who does.

    Not online very often
