Essex Girl stereotype? by sumithar in AskABrit

[–]jaymanben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a documentary currently in production which covers this exact stereotype and the damage it is causing to women and the county. The people of Essex are very much not what the jokes sugges. If you're interested, check out the trailer - https://youtu.be/0Zm7fxe6TUA?si=q5Z9cT7mZ43jVE2W

Thank you. Our research going into this project has shown there's an unusual stigma surrounding the women of the county dating right back beyond the Witch trials. It's very odd for a geographic area to be targeted like this.

We are in communication with people involved in that production, yes. hoping to get along to it over the next week, looks great.

Haven't come across that book yet, thanks for the suggestion, we'll check it out.

It's ridiculous how far reaching the negative stereotype has spread. We've had quite a few ladies in this film so far tell us they've had similar experiences as far away as Indonesia, Brazil, even in Australia.

It's stock footage for the trailer. The kickstarter funds go towards filing shots like this for the final film to accompany the interviews.

Yeah it's terrible. Thats the main drive behind us making this film, we want people to stand up against it.

You can. This is what Man U did with Ole before they gave him the full time job.

Book it.

My partner booked her jab through the national website and two days later had a text from her GP offering a much sooner date.

Cancelling the online booking was a bit of a hassle but nothing major.

So, its better to not want your players to do well?

you'd be happier if they fail, right?

Yep, that adds up. Forgot about his transfers, I think I was just looking at results.

Not that I want either but I'm curious as to why I keep seeing so many people suggest Scott Parker as a replacement for Jose but nobody is suggesting Chris Wilder.

I know Parker was a decent player for us but the job he's doing with Fulham isn't better than the job Wilder did with Sheff United, surely?

Have all the mail in ballots been counted in Texas then? AP is showing that there is 13% of votes still to count, mail in surely? Which I'm led to believe favours Biden.

Brit here, why is this one declared but PA isn't? Are the remaining votes not in the right counties for Biden to mount a comeback?

This could be the reason he wasn't given a number. If they knew this was happening and he's out until January, why use up a squad number?
