Yes, and much of Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Bristol as well - or at least the parts where people still have the local accent.Oh really? Like Cornawall and Devonshire? My only association to the latter is that it was where many Agatha Christie’s stories usually took place.

Oh well it's in the nice part of Essex. It's mainly when you enter the south eastern part of the county that it gets grubby. Also the seaside resorts OBVIOUSLYI was quite SHOCKED how nice Chelmsford was when I visited.
