What is the most clichéd, stereotypical assumption people make about you, based on where you’re from?

Mine is that people think I will sound like an uneducated farmer/ pirate hybrid with a barely eligible voice, who stands in a field all day yelling at the clouds. But when people speak to me they’re very surprised at my Estuary English and my high powered job in the city.

They usually believe I am antisocial, dislike crowds, find people tiresome and stand in the fields shouting at clouds.

Which is pretty spot on.

Many in the forums make assumptions about me, none of which are in anyway correct. The FAB grapevine spreads gossip based on incorrect assumptions then you end up with an impression and judgements on people which couldn't be further from the truth, FAB forums rock

Oh actually, that's a big assumption about me that's way off the mark, though I don't think it's to do with where I'm from.

Because I like fussy overdone lingerie (more lace! More frills! More bows!) there is an assumption that I will be super-feminine and I'm really not - I can't walk in heels, always wear trousers or jeans and rarely wear makeup (I don't own foundation, it's only ever eye makeup).

I don't dress sexy and feel like a pig in a wig when I try to.
