An Essex girl is involved in a car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on the scene.
Medic: "I'm a paramedic and I'm going to ask you some questions. OK?"
Girl: "OK"
Medic: "what's your name?"
Girl: "Sharon"
Medic: "OK Sharon, is this your car?"
Sharon: "yes"
Medic: "where are you bleeding from?"
Sharon: "Romford, mate."
(I was born in Essex so I think I'm allowed to tell these :p)
