Burnley - global supplier of village idiots.

Blackpool - it's just like Burnley by-the-sea.

WETHerspoons. Clue: There's a sign outside.

Yorkshire: Those yellow(ish) bikes littered all over the place represent us clinging on to the fact that some blokes in lycra once road their posh bikes here...

Catchy eh?

Bristol - It's not that far from Bath

Up until recently this was pretty much what our tourist office suggested after you see the suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain. It is actually getting better now and there are tourists everywhere.

Chelmsford - Basingstoke with Essex people
You must have experienced the charm of the city of Essex on a very good day, it's usually far worse than that...
I'll have none of that. We have some wonderful, well rounded people here in the fine City of Chelmsford!
Can we stop the Essex bashing please? It's a wonderful county - contains everything one needs from coast to forest and is pretty friendly in most places. Additionally the economy is strong, our social issues are on the minor side when compared to Northern pit closures and the monetary black holes of Wales and Cornwall. Where I live there's culture, history and good education coupled to enough seediness to make the place exciting. I've been to homogenous middle class areas and found them stiflingly precious: The Cotswolds, Norfolk Riviera. Also I've wandered through the Medway towns - too much in reverse, just nasty though not exactly the residents' fault. Just a kind of ingrained crappy crap that doesn't inspire any sense of civic duty. Whereas Essex, at least my resident bit, is mingled. Such that we live in an environment of tolerance by proximity: my parents live on the same road as a builder, a retired Vicar and a stockbroker.

Therefore:

Essex: Men wear makeup and it's considered normal (I do, and receive compliments rather than beatings, I guess it's an Essex boy thing at one level)

Or even:

Colchester: I'd tell you about it but I was drunk

Umm, I do!

Have you ever been to Brentwood? It's all pretty normal around there: fake tan, manicures, eyebrow threading and make up. Although it's usually just foundation, bronzing powder, under-eye concealer and perhaps a dash of neutral lip gloss. Eyebrow pencil to make them a bit heavier? Nothing too overt, in my opinion, just a bit of enhancement. Akin to wearing some fancy designer watch, only a hell of a lot cheaper! It's fun, you should try it, many do.

Fair play to the girls. What do blokes wear though?

Welcome to Pudsey, the hole between the cheeks of Leeds and Bradford
Brilliant!
Perfect. laugh
Its a bit of a compliment that bradford gets a cheek, it should be the hairy sweaty hole of a fat man.

Pudsey is still a dump though, perhaps that can be the bit between the bks and the hole.
A little known fact is that People from Pudsey also have the pleasure of being called Ring-wormians.
