Fake tan, sheep shaggers and boring rich people

Reddit user makes a map of the UK using social stereotypes to represent each region…and they’re VERY rude indeed

The labels range from the comical to the downright offensive

NEWCASTLE is full of people with fake tan and body builders, according to a map of ‘UK stereotypes’ that has been posted online.

Instead of labelling each geographical spot with place names, the map instead says what the creator believes area is well-known for – ranging from the comical to the rude.

The map, which was uploaded to , said that the middle of Wales is full of ‘people who have sex with sheep.’

Meanwhile the area close to Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire should instead be known as an area with ‘boring rich people.’

London was referred to as the ‘metropolitan elite,’ and Cornwall was labelled ‘inbred farmers.’

Kingston-Upon-Hull was rudely called ‘hell’ and Cheshire was simply stated as the place where footballers live.

The stereotypical map also said Essex was full of ‘fake tan and fake t*ts,’ and that old people go to die in Dorset.

Other mean labels include North Yorkshire being referred to as ‘poor’ and the Midlands being ‘post-industrial hell.’

The map has caused division online with one Reddit user saying: “I'd say this map is almost perfect except where you've labelled Poor isn't actually too bad.”

Meanwhile another user commented: “I really don't see why the Midlands is "post-industrial hell". If anything, that honour goes to Liverpool.”

In the past, Gemma Collins has hit back at ‘outrageous’ and ‘derogatory’ stereotype of Essex girls in the dictionary definition.

We wrote about hot maths teacher Pietro Boselli who was on a mission to ‘defeat the stereotype’ that all models are dumb.
