Was this really only coined 25 years ago?

As far as I'm aware the Phrase "Essex Girls" started in the early 1980's

As wiki puts it

" The stereotypical image formed as a variation of the dumb blonde/bimbo persona, with references to the Estuary English accent, white stiletto heels, silicone-augmented breasts, peroxide blonde hair, over-indulgent use of fake tan (lending an orange appearance), promiscuity, loud verbal vulgarity and socialising at downmarket nightclubs."

I'll agree that "Essex Bimbo" started in the 80's but "Essex Girl did come about in early 90's predominately Harlow and Basildon but spread from there.

Like I said I am born n bred in Brentwood and proud to be a True ESSEX BOY....
