I from the US, just learned about these today, and had a chuckle.

an essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. it was her boyfriend, urgently warning her “treacle, i just heard on the news that theres a car going the wrong way on the A13. please be careful!” “its not just one car!” said the essex girl “theres hundreds of them!”

    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)

      American here: when I read that in my own accent I didn’t get it, so I backed up and read the punchline in an English accent and I laughed. Funny how that works
