I've had a quick look on streetview, what a s
thole. Who in their right mind would sanction a ghetto there. In somewhere like Sandbanks a property like those would be worth a million. It does just seem to be the area to the left of the beach car park that is bad, everywhere else looks half reasonable. Indeed if you move inland a couple of streets you seem to come across somewhat more successful cockneys, like this one.

What makes me laugh is that when we go into Jaywick to work we go to the Caravan Park - but you pass right through Beirut to get there!!!

The welcome message seems to avoid the much publicised info for Jaywick!!

Tony the scrap or whatever he calls himself did have some interesting stuff on his pitch.
From what I understand that the whole place is a hangover from the 1960s and are only supposed to be holiday homes.
Looking into the background it does like like that there are some nice looking clean, tidy and well painted places. Maybe, just maybe in 30-40 years time it may either burn itself out or transform into a nice area (you never know).

Watched the first 15 odd minutes of this at work on my phone; that couple where the husband has recently been in prison, they receive the equivalent of £37k pa in benefits, that is about £2300 take home, why the hell is their house such a st hole and why are they obviously doing so badly; save for the iPads, as a family we could live far better than them on that money.
t hole and why are they obviously doing so badly; save for the iPads, as a family we could live far better than them on that money. That show was shocking and that town/trailer park is tragic. I feel sorry for the kids of the feckless but I think they'll only end up growing up the same way.
As for whoever said get a trade for the guy who'd been in prison. No chance, you still require intelligence and motivation for most trades, something that guy didn't have. Maybe he should work nights at the closest supermarket to him, could keep him out of trouble and I assume there would be some kind of pay increase for the unsociable hours. Still, as the bird said, they ain't gonna go to work and get less money than they receive for sitting on their arses all day.

I thought of 2 things I thought when watching this programme.
1. When the woman was making the spaghetti / hotdog combo, she said the "autistic" lad only liked certain foods. Well he didn't like what she made as he said he wanted a hotdog on a bun. She laughed at this & said he was posh. fk me, when you consider a hotdog on a bun as "posh", you aren't scraping the barrel, you're not even in the barrel (inspired by Claude off the Apprentice that bit).
2. The estate they showed (Jaywick) didn't half look like the place they drove around on Sunday's Top Gear. But more grim.

Be honest though these programmes are just made to get a reaction
Doesn't matter where they film they are just designed in such away that the people look st. They are st anyway but you get what I mean
Its the same with Jeremy Kyle. My wife and her friend attended a show there just to see what it was REALLY like. She reckons that the person sat on the stage is encouraged to say grim things about the tommy knocker backstage. Then out comes tommy knocker effing and bellowing a response. Then Jeremy yells in a patronising manner then its over to bum clenching kojak for some therapy then onto the next "guest".
Circus stuff all of it

Walk through Jaywick, I can guarantee you that this is not a TV Image situation. Jaywick is really FUBAR'd and so are the residents.Doesn't matter where they film they are just designed in such away that the people look s

Jaywick, or "West Clacton" in estate agent speak. It's a hole. The only place I've ever seen people keep burnt out cars on bricks in the "drive". Have a look round on Google Street view. It's quite surprising how st it actually is.
Am I missing something? Just had a look on street view and whilst it's not salubrious, I saw maintained dwellings facing a beach.t it actually is.Certainly a nicer looking environment than most inner city council estates.
It's not a muggy place though. It's just very poor and very lazy. Kayakers and beach-fishermen leave their cars and gear there all the time, and rarely does anything go missing. I've never heard of anyone getting any stuff nicked. That doesn't mean I'd be happy to lose my wallet there, but you'd be perfectly safe wandering around there on a "sightseeing" afternoon...

Have to say, I thought the spaghetti in hotdogs was quite a good idea. I might do that for my kids one night. Obviously, being a PH person, I shall use only the finest fairtrade organic wholewheat spaghetti and hotdogs made from the meat of cornfed freerange handreared maluka pigs.
Most hot dogs contain a chicken content. You missed that bit.Whens lunch at your gaff
