About this listen

Born and bred Essex folk and people whose families moved to the county from London describe the differences between country people and Eastenders. The migration of Scottish farmers in the 1930s is included too.

Contributors also talk about the 'real' Essex accent and dialects versus Estuary English. We also hear about the reputation of the county and it being the butt of jokes.


First broadcast on BBC Essex in 1999.
