The divide between the North and the South.

Me and the wife to Southend in the nineties when we lived in London. We parked up, had a walk along the front and settled in a pub for a drink. There was a convoy of escorts, with the bass turned up, driving very slowly (cruising?) back and forth, turning back at the roundabouts each end. Back and forth, back and forth, all fickin evening.    We had to stop our conversation every five minutes or so, till they'd driven past.

Still the same, but with more drugs.

Early nineties?


I might have been there; it made a change from the street racing at Maidstone bridge, although it is frustrating having to go up to Dartford and back down the A127 when I can see South End sea front from the top of my road

As a generic Northerner, - Born in Manchester. Raised in Cheshire and Miseryside, studied in Coventry, lived adult life in Brum, Yorkshire and Liverpool, I find that mostly people are the same all over the world.  They worry about similar things. 
I'm about to start negotiations on converting from.Freelance to Permie, at my Current contract, and my boss was until recently paying £2k a month rent in London. My aspirations on pay are probably lower than he will expect because he has no northern calibration.

My wife likes to suggest that's why I'm a idiot.
Parents first house was in Moss Side.
Both Lancashire born. 54 years later they live in Anglesey and Dad speaks Welsh better than most Welsh. Funny old world.

It does indeed come under Essex, although even Essex people wont go there.

I hear Jaywick is a desirable place to retire.

Charming place. Lots of real 'salt of the earth' characters.

It was about that time the youth of the day walked around with a giant wogbox perched on their shoulders. You could hear them for miles around.
