1) much maligned county in south east england. canvey island, essex was one of the few places to submit a realistic bid against london for the 2012 olympics.

2) contains popular domestic holiday destinations such as southend, shoeburyness and basildon.

3) inhabitants also speak with what is considered the most aurally pleasing of english accents. it is also the most common tongue in places such as prague and benidorm.

1) people say that about essex cos its a cultural desert, innit!

2) our caravan in clacton-on-sea was torched last weekend!

3) chardonnnaaaahy, we goin to bluewortah dis sahndeee?

South Eastern County bordering London, which despite popular belief, consists primarily of conservative voting middle – upper classes seeking an escape from the city. Unfortunately tainted by areas such as Romford and Southend, where the amount of chavs, scallies and other such fake – Burberry wearing scum are contained and looked down upon. Highlights include Chigwell, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Epping where the amount of real Armani, Versace, Prada and Gucci being worn, and Porsches, Jaguars and Ferrari’s on the roads have a value greater than the gross amount of money that vermin on state benefit, like those found in Romford, con from our government.
Areas with high houseprices, high avearage wage and at least one car of a value greater than 35K

I'm not very happy at the definitions of Essex that people have posted!

I have lived in both Basildon and Southend, but I am neither a chav nor emo...I am just a regular person. I am not poor, I do not claim benefits and I will NEVER become pregnant at 14. I would also like to state that as someone who is interested in fashion, Burberry is still a luxury brand - although sterotype 'chavs' wear fake designer stuff, I would never be caught dead in it. If you were to flip through the pages of VOGUE (yes, I'm probably one of few from Basildon who do read it) I'm sure you would be surprised to find that Burberry hardly use 'that' print in thier designs, or do it in an understated way...rather than that whole Daniella Westbrook (or whatever) look! :|

Yes, I agree that Southend is an area that really has gone down the pan due to its latest inhabiatants, but as someone who grew up in that area (well...mostly Leigh-on-sea aswell) I haven't turned out too bad! I get good grades and I am working towards my ambition of becoming a fashion designer.

So please...DON'T BE FOOLED. BASILDON ISN'T HALF BAD :) Promise!
I haven't really got an example for Essex :S

A county in the South East of England, it is known predominantly for sales of Ford Escorts, and the additional "mods" that make these vehicles "tits". Heavily populated with Essex Girls, a civilisation all of their own, surviving mainly on the water content of alcopops and ingesting mainly proteins, ahem. Essex Boys are known for their smugness, usually because they get laid with far more frequency than their Northern counterparts.
"Oh mah gaaaawd dat car iz teeeetz dude. 'E must be such a geeza. Dyew fink e'll let me blow 'im? I 'ope so cuz aym kinda 'ungry innit. Ahhhhhhhh sale at Burberry! teeeeeeetz!"
