When I first started seeing ads I lived in Kent, one of the first things he said to me was ‘oh your a posh swingers then?’ I laughed because I am the least posh person ever, we then bumped into someone he knows again it was said, it’s been said a few times since...are Kentish people known for being posh swingers from other counties and not just Essex? Any other county’s have this stigma?

"There's a tendency to think of people from the west Midlands as dumb, but it's only a stereotype, and I don't care about stereotypes "
A huge percentage of the population never stays in the area they were born and grown up in anyway. In my case i was born in London, lived my teens in Bedfordshire, moved to yorkshire and have lived in the Midlands for the last 30 years. Where you live has nothing to do with being "Posh". |

The Kent accent sounds "posh" though to a lot of people. I grew up there and am the most working class person you'll meet, but my friends from out of area still comment on the accent  |

I tell you something since I moved to Essex I have been able to let my inner ‘pikey’ really run wild! I’ve always spoke like a pikey and now I can!!

You're joking, there's nothing posh about most of Kent lol, I think they were pulling your leg! !  "
If they were all connected then yes I would have said so but even people I’ve worked with have said it too!
