    No only you.
    Are you Autistic? As the way you can't understand a sentence slightly out of context is very asperger like behaviour. They rely on black and white answers and can't think their way through a statement.

    Now I am dyslexic so what's your excuse? Being from Essex?


    Careful now .....

    No not digging, I am seriously asking you, what part of my statement was so confusing that you have to start this entire thread about how poor my punctuation and spelling is.

    I have a friend from down that way and she's very girly-girly and into all the tanning and make up but she's isn't stupid. "TOWIE" like clones are not a good indicator of a county, nor is Geordie Shore an official symbol for Newcastle.

    These people who play up to the stereotypes of their county are the idiots for doing what is expected of them. Believe it or not; not everyone from a 'chav town' is a chav, not everyone from a 'posh place' is a snob. Branch out a bit and expand your mind from the tiny convience of persuming all stereotypes as accurate.

    I didn't start this thread.

    You posted on this thread slating a whole county for being dumb. I pointed out an error in your post. You are trying to backtrack unsuccesfully from your error and dragging this whole thing out even longer.

    And I think a lot of people would be confused if you said to them "yeah, just drive on the M25 past Southend" if you were giving them directions to somewhere further round the M25.

    I didn't realise I was giving directions, if I were I would have linked a website to a map.

    No I stated that when I travel on the M25 and drive past the junctions for Romford and Southend, I am constantly amazed at the poor driving skills of some drivers.
    This has somehow touched a nerve with you.

    All I want to know is, I am dyslexic and I make mistakes with my spelling and punctuation, what's your problem?

    I don't think many drivers would be confused by yeah, just drive on the M25 past Southend.

    Maybe its just you.

    The point is that you didn't say you meant the junctions in your original post. Youonly mentioned that you meant the junctions for the A roads that lead to those towns once your error was pointed out.

    In your attempt to agree with the 'dumbness' of people from Essex you made a mistake and don't want to admit it.

    Now I am finished with this so you can have the last word . TTFN.

    Hang on, you posted a comment making a generalisation about people from a particular area being idiots and morons, calling them freaks and you are surprised that someone who comes from that area called you out about it.:rolleyes:

    Perhaps someone should start a thread about Bromley:cool:

    Yes, pretty sure you're wrong there. ;)

    I think you'll find that the emphasis was on 'its' and 'it's', not the spelling of the car.

    You're right.

    It's still Corsa though.

    I travel between Kent and Essex on a regular basis, now Kent has more than its fare share of idiots and morons, but as soon as you get past Lakeside, and head up the M25 past Southend and Romford the freaks all come out, all in Fords, Subaru's, Corsa's (my personal favorite) tailgaiting, making gestures out the window, cutting in and out of lanes, or my personal favorite, roaring down the slip lane and swerving straight into the 3rd lane.

    eh ? :eek:

    Has the M25 been extended without my knowledge ?

    No, we're not dumb here in Essex, just outgoing and pleasant and with a strong accent. Unfortunately people confuse it with stupidity, which in certain instances can be an advantage. .
