Re: Lessons on how to speak Essex
my Grandad used to work on Tilbury Docks & I went to school for 6 years in Grays - & even worked for a while as a bingo caller in 'Saffend', so I found that very nostalgic - thanks Nemmy
- there was a similar one for the Hull accent, with ones like
fern curls = phone calls
- but I better not go more  than that
