No surprises there! Fits in with established stereotypes.

Norfolk : frustrated yokels trying to widen the gene pool.

Surrey : Frustrated bankers looking for the next £10 million.

Wales : Brexit fans failing to understand the current money tree, believing what they read in the 'Mail', and still living in the dark ages.
