    The ferry boat Inn is in Hullbridge you must have been working on the SSV Shenfield to Southend Victoria, my money would be on you working down Magnolia road which is a long dirt road with lots of railway accesses and high embankments, it’s between Rochford & Hockley I remember it being done around about that time I used to cruise past in our response ranger and I could see the lads thinking oh f**k it’s the Mom what have we done now lol.

    Out and about this evening over a place called Wallasea Island it is a huge man made RSPB site with so many different birds too many to list it looks across the river crouch to Burnham On Crouch and also to Foulness Island the MOD testing site I might be wrong but I believe it’s one of the few places you can test missiles up to 60,000 feet, most of the little islands that are here were made with the spoil from the channel tunnel which was shipped up the River Thames on barges.

    I also see a video on YouTube of the bald bloke holding onto a coppers belt holding his equipment that would never be allowed, and in the comments it was noted he had shown up at other protests and on this particular protest it was said there was a video of him and the other protesters turning up in a van, it reminds me of the antis that magically used to turn up at a hunt I used to follow paid agitators, baldy though seemed a bit more than a lefty protestor.

    It’s doing the rounds that the bald bloke with a cut on his head who got a dig was a copper, an agitator the government want this to kick off massively so they can impose draconian laws this is definitely where all this is heading.

    I was a postie for a couple of years in the early 80s based at ECDO East central district office it used to deal with all the EC postcodes, we used to go to the Old red cow 5am in the morning after our night shift, it was full of posties and nurses out of Bart’s hospital and coppers out of Snow Hill and of course the meat workers to say it was madness was an understatement, one of my walks was Hatton Garden I used to carry hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of registered post of jewellery the Jews used to post there stuff to themselves because at the time the post office insurance was so go

    Funny enough I was reading this thread yesterday and it triggered how myself and emergency services dealt with horrible situations and it was pure black humour, the most notorious bunch I ever worked with was a group of highly skilled men called the ERU emergency response unit they respond in a white fire engine and they have the sort of kit where if they have to pick up a train they can, they mainly work on the underground but on the C2c line the underground runs parallel up to Upminster from London so a few occasions our paths crossed I couldn’t repeat any of the stuff as it stays out on the

    Being brought up in the East End like yourself the most we got to an holiday was a week in a caravan at Kings in Canvey. The Kursaal was recently discussed locally about reviving it to its former glory to much money though I reckon it’s sat there for years doing nothing.

    The beach with the ramp is Shoebury common Thorpe Bay Area right next to the coast guard the pub is called The Shorehouse I believe it’s an Harvester, there’s a Mulberry Harbour out in the Estuary part of a pontoon that broke and sunk during WW2 and there’s the infamous SS Montgomery which is an American ship laden with explosives they reckon if it goes bang it will cause a Tsunami and blow out most of the windows in Essex and Kent coastal towns. East Beach is about a mile further east right opposite Shoeburyness Station it’s recently had a couple of new beach cafes built servin
