What is the most clichéd, stereotypical assumption people make about you, based on where you’re from?
Mine is that people think I will sound like an uneducated farmer/ pirate hybrid with a barely eligible voice, who stands in a field all day yelling at the clouds. But when people speak to me they’re very surprised at my Estuary English and my high powered job in the city. |

"They usually believe I am antisocial, dislike crowds, find people tiresome and stand in the fields shouting at clouds.
Which is pretty spot on. "
Same time next week ? |

No, the usual, just you at one of the field, me at the other shouting ‘that cloud looks like a mouse getting a piggy back on a tortoise!’ |

"That I have more than than the normal amount of fingers and toes
Did you get a drone in to take your lovely new avatar ?"
Yes but now it won’t leave. It’s just bumping into the wall. I think it’s trying to destroy itself |

"That I’m in Manchester.
Then they find I’m in Somerset and assume I have a Somerset accent.
Big up the West Country massssive!"
I have pimms rather than cider….
I could be burned at the stake or pitchforked to death later.  |

They probably assume I sit on a five bar gate, dressed in a smock and chewing idly on a piece of straw whilst prognosticating the weather via a random, passing cows udders or such like.
Ooo ahhhh!

"What do people think is stereotypical of a Southampton girl?
That you love the Saints and have red and white striped duvets. "
Sounds scarily accurate!
This Southampton girl enjoys her annual visits to Exeter maybe next time I need to check out Fab whilst I'm there |

I wouldn't know what a damp proof membrane is.
I'm a bit up my own arse.
I wouldn't know about basic things such as a damp proof membrane.
I'm not sure why people make these assumptions. I wish someone could tell me why.

I live in a very deprived part of Leeds that has a very bad rep so people assume that I'm poor and have no choice but to live here.
They can never get thier heads around that I choose to be here and love it |

It’s good to see you’ve moved on,  .
My assumption is you must of heard damp proof membrane on Grand Designs or Escape to the Country. |

That I'm not girly
People see me day to day in work shorts and t shirts, usually with some animal, compost, bonfire smell around me, it's fun to occasionally wear a dress, sandles and smell fabulous and watch them be startled when they recognise me |

Oh actually, that's a big assumption about me that's way off the mark, though I don't think it's to do with where I'm from.
Because I like fussy overdone lingerie (more lace! More frills! More bows!) there is an assumption that I will be super-feminine and I'm really not - I can't walk in heels, always wear trousers or jeans and rarely wear makeup (I don't own foundation, it's only ever eye makeup).
I don't dress sexy and feel like a pig in a wig when I try to. |
