Every by Wendy Cope

Essex people talk about where they feel they belong and their affinity with particular places and groups. They discuss being part of a community, compared with being an outsider. Examples include towns, villages, a football club and a factory. Contributors also speak about how changing working patterns have had an impact on local life.

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