people from essex tend to sound like londoners except they only talk from one side of their mouthsAn East Anglian accent doesn't exist. An Essex accent is very different to a Suffolk and Norfolk accent, plus you get "rural" accents which tend to be deeper and harder to understand. Farmers tend to have their own take on an accent and amplify it, which is where you get the typical Somerset/Dorset accent which you can tell apart from an urban accent in those regions.
How rude, I do no such thingWhere 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

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
Can't say my accent was represented well/at all in that video lol
I live in Wiltshire (south west) and i do not sound like a farmer nor 'over pronounce' my Rs, so no.
But nearly everyone else here does idk what happened to me i just refused to ever speak like that.
