Our county is regularly lampooned for the way we allegedly talk, dress and act, almost nowhere in the country has suffered more from lazy stereotyping than Essex.
The ditsy, bleached-blonde Essex girl in white stilettos stereotype is well known, while a certain reality show featuring orange-skinned airheads hasn't helped.
It never seems to matter what great things the people of our county do we keep getting tarred with the same brush that has terrorised us since the dawn of the 'Essex Girl'...
