county stereotypes...

[carolfoy]

inspired by a thread on the U.S. comm board, thought this would be fun.

I live in Cornwall, am Cornish and contrary to popular belief we have electricity, telephones and cars!
My father and my brother are NOT the same person and we don't all spend every spare minute surfing and sailing (although I wish I did!)

your turn....

the first time we went to Florida , and we had gone to Busch gardens, and saw the lovely but smelly! Clydesdale Horses in their stables and as i was walking by i overhead the american voice saying ," yip they still use Clydesdale Horses in Scatland you know, they do all their farming by hand and with the help of horses, you know!" I stopped in my tracks and couldnt speak for laughing, i just wanted to go and say look ive got a mobile phone,and we have electricity and dont chase the haggis up the hills and hey guess what i didnt get here by seagull you know!!!

I'm from Kent (well, just outside sarf London really). Kent is known as the garden of England but I'm not sure if there's a "Kent" stereotype. If I've missed if, somebody please let me know!

 

[Ware Bears]

I'm from Dorset and no, we don't all go round wearing smocks sucking straw and saying ooh-arrrrrr

And yes, there are actually people under the age of 80 in my town ~ it used to have a bit of a reputation for only being a home to OAPs in bath-chairs!!

Haggis are not beasties that roam the hills with one side of legs shorter than the other

You will if you try it. It's like a dormant instinct in Liverpudlians. Like geese knowing which way south is.

I live in Surrey, we own a small house, the kids go to the local comprehensive and DH doesn't work in the city.

P.S. Don't all Suffolk people live in pink houses?

Sadly I've seen many Essex girls who do!
