In the 1920s, one man’s vision became reality when a village was built to house his employees in his window business. This village was Silver End. It was an extremely modern village with a dentist, cinema, doctors, school, a massive village hall, a police station and a two storey department store. The village also included […]

Basildon, a self-contained ‘New Town’ to clear the slums of East London
Built as a self-contained ‘New Town’ to clear the slums of East London, Basildon has become one of the South-East’s great success stories. Boasting one of Europe’s largest shopping centres and having an enviable array of sporting facilities makes Basildon a great place for young families to work and live. Of course, this is all […]

Canvey Island, a great place to take your kids… if you hate them
I can’t believe Basildon and Southend have gotten such lengthy mentions yet the worst place of them all, Canvey Island, has slipped through unnoticed. The only redeeming features of Canvey are; It’s an island, therefore we know if the ***** get too rowdy we can just cut them off from civilised society by taking out […]

Waltham Abbey, Essex aka “d-abbey”
Having grown up in **** central, (r-low), it was very nice to move to “d-abbey”. there wasn’t a **** for miles. that all come to a blinging end about 12/18 months ago when chavlings started loitering at “the square” the local shops in hillhouse as they affectionately call it. the first thing that is blindingly […]
Billericay lies in the shadow of its more important smarter sister Brentwood
Like Dickens’ ‘A tale of two cities” Billericay lies in the shadow of it’s larger more important smarter sister Brentwood, itself not without the spreading curse of Chavism. A more sinister shadow cast upon the smallish town of Billericay (It’s dumb male residents immortalised in Ian Dury’s “Billericay Dickie”) is the dark influence of Basildon. […]

Clacton on Sea, Essex, so incestuous that it is twinned with itself
I should first point out that I do not live there (in a sense does anyone?) I have only visited. I may be foolish but I am not bloody stupid! Clacton or ‘Clackers’ or ‘London by the sea’ is a seaside town (the clue is in the name) that is so incestuous that it is […]

Rochford a.k.a Lesser Southend
Southend became a ChavTown a long time ago, what was once a holiday destination has been replaced by columns of fast food restaurants, Sports Direct shops and **** Hangouts… Which at night develops into a hotspot worthy of being bombed. Rochford is 5 miles away, used to be a quiet town away from Southend where […]
Southend-on-sea: Face to face with the missing link
I spent four years of my life forced to live in the hellhole that is Southend and I loathed every hour of it. This pit has no redeeming qualities at all. Central to the town is the Victoria Circus shopping centre, half of its shops are closed down and the other half sell discount sportswear, […]

Southend-on-Sea, a sorry little grief hole on the Essex coast
I see a number of entries for Essex already. If Essex is the UK’s chaviest region, then the capital is Southend. This sorry little grief hole is a honey pot for the (fake) Burberry/Kappa/Stone Island tracksuited generation. ***** are everywhere, although the greatest concentration is on the sea front. This so-called ‘Golden Mile’ is an […]
