Born in Essex
moved north to Manchester to do A levels as I wanted to get away from the family etc. then went further North for Uni, and now live in the lake district.

I still have family in Essex and it really is a shite hole, but not as bad as that fuckwit show makes it out to be.

I think its because you want to shoo-oo-woo-woo-woo-oot the whole day down.
