Brilliant!Type high wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:24 am Once you move on the Island you can't afford to get off, very incestuous, everybody knows whose f**ing your wife and who your doing, only 2 roads off the island. Murder in rush hour, high street is crap, only 5 pubs, 3 or 4 bars, about 5 social clubs in total on island
Haystack Pub in middle of high street, druggies delight, I'm not keen on the female clientele or guys for that matter, bloody long walk from Benfleet station.
Dead flat, at high tide it is below sea level and something wrong with people who live on Island below sea level then construct a fresh water lake slap bang in the middle of it.
Traffic dead slow very tight corners and loads of narrow dead end roads. On the plus side weather always seems to be sunnier than on mainland Benfleet. No decent restaurants gotta get off the island for that, believe or not it's got it's own independent little cinema, and a dam great wall holding the sea back. How do I know drive round it all day long.
But apart from that you would highly recommend it.Type high wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:24 am Once you move on the Island you can't afford to get off, very incestuous, everybody knows whose f**ing your wife and who your doing, only 2 roads off the island.

Heh Max you and I weren't around in those days how'd you find about itMax B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:50 pm The Lobster Smack Inn saw many bare-knuckle fights in the 1850s, but few as dramatic as that between Tom 'the Brighton Boy' Sayers (1826–65) and Aaron Jones on 6 January 1857.
The fight lasted for three hours and 65 rounds, and was finally declared a draw when it became too dark to see. Sayers won at the rematch a month later in London.
Sometimes the bouts were between local families, the best known being that between champion Ben Caunt and Nat Langham.
The fight arose from a family feud and Caunt took Langham to 60 rounds in September 1853. Langham was knocked down 59 times during the bout and because, it is said, of his sportsmanship Caunt agreed to settle their differences with a handshake.
Just watch out for yourself if youse choose to go there be prepared to go at least 59 rounds with the local neds
