My own personal Essex Girl appears in several of the pictures wearing a green tee-shirt - no sign of "white stilettoes and black stockings". I think the slightly nervous look that she is displaying at times is occasioned by the "Northern Types" wearing strange apparell. Mind you, I suppose you have to dress up like that when you live in a uncivilised parts of the country where the maps still bear the warnings "Here be Dragons".

Down south in the area where my lady (and Dirty Old Git) hail from, people don't bother about duels - one of them is found in a shallow grave on Dagenham marshes or alternatively dropped into the channel off Southend in a weighted net.
