I went Jaywick once., many years ago with people i used to know and call pals.
After a lengthy booze - I asked for kebab and chips in some local hovel - with all the adornments on it - and some jollops of chilli and some garlic sauce.
I was abruptly informed i could have 'meat and chips'.
'Whats the meat?' says i, a reasonable enquiry.
'Meat. With chips maye' was the response.
' what sort of meat though?' I probed.
I was met with a puzzled look as if i had asked for exotic pelican meat.
' meat maye - d'you wann it or not?? .
I had it - and to this day, I have no clue what sort of meaty filth I snacked on that evening.
Could have been cat - could have been dog kibbles or pigs quim. Could have been human giblets.
Jaywick for me is synonmous with 'meat and chips' - meat of suspect provenance and probably bits of goat and chum in it.
To be fair - it was fuckin tasty though.
It tasted of fat girls lamby gunt paunch.
Like bovril - without the yeast and sticky lid.

My old nans from silverton, 94. She was telling me what a nice place it was to live when she was a little girl. Lots of open spaces, swings etc. She said it was idyllic.
What was also interesting was that there were lots of well off upper class types in silvertown that lived in the big houses that backed onto the estate. She said the women were lovely and used to enjoy interacting with the kids, giving them oranges and getting them to run errands.
Council estates get a bad press now but they were great for their time. The face of London has changed and is still changing at a pace that’s difficult to keep up with.

Re: Jaywick
I was down in Holland on sea and Clacton a few weeks back its no better or worse than a lot of seaside resorts these days. Went onto the Three jays pub near Jaywick managed by a mate of mine and big West Ham fan from Silvertown
.
He has never had a problem in pub the year or so he has been there.Its full of old school Londoners and we had a great all day session on a Sunday. So don't believe all you read in the newspapers.
That is the decent well kept area of Jaywick rumford the deprived area is Brooklands down by the beach !!

Here we go again Jaywick used to be a lovely seaside area the chalets that are now lived in were originally built as holiday homes until Tendring District council decided they could be used all year round and then the rot set in !!!
TDC have actually just re-surfaced the roads but there is still so much to do with the government grant still sitting in TDC's bank account !

Like Pagey, I have fond memories of a weeks holiday in Jaywick about 60 years ago. It was basic then, but certainly not as bad as it is now. I also spent many happy times at my mums caravan in Belair on St Osyth's beach in the late 1960's. played football on the beach with my old school friend Peter Grotier and many others, who played 30 odd games in goal for West Ham. Good memories when Jaywick, Clacton and St Osyth were fun to visit.

When you go on rightmove and look at the cheap seafront bungalows, virtually all of them come with a sitting tenant.
Draw your own conclusions.

I used to go there for one week every summer growing up and it was a brilliant cheap and cheerful holiday. At that young age there was amusements, the beach, donkey rides and Clacton nearby.
It was mainly holiday homes back then and they were so tiny. Sod living there now. I drove through there a few years ago out of curiosity - and drove out a lot quicker!

All of Jaywick is up and coming, as it can not possibly get much lower.
A one bed bungalow costs as little as £40k, rising up to 100k for a 3 bed.
