sandy beaches - huh? More like mud. As is often said, where there's Clacton ...., there's brass.

Wasn't there a television production about the Brexit campaign that set a scene in Jaywick?

You've never been there, DTC.

Jaywick is the pits... but it isn't Clacton.

19 47 Big round of applause now DTC has been to Blackpool.

Clacton-on-Sea is rather like Rome:
Everything's built for the dead,
and all the Nuns prefer to stay at home.

And there's me thinking it's one of the few places you haven't been to, DTC - you being a man of the world and all that. Well all I can say is if you'd been there you would know what it's like - but you don't.

Not exactly on my list of places to go back to - I was, for a while, based further up the Anglian coast. The beaches do not compare to anything down here and Devon, excluding Carlyon Bay..or in fact those one finds in Northumberland or Northern Scotland on the 500. However, Clacton's are far better than those of the mud-flats of Blackpool or up to, heaven help those that visit there, Morecambe. Now they truly are ghastly - and the towns too.

naomi24

Pathetic.

DTCwordfan

bit damming - wot.....no rhyme or reason to insulting like that -and you're a Mod???

Must say that when I was there the beach at Clacton was all golden sand. I am aware that on that stretch of coast a storm can strip a beach and replace it again in days. They call it climate emergency now though.

More seriously, I have never been impressed with the coastline of the Thames Estuary on its north shore until one gets round to Aldeburgh - and then forget the disaster called Great Yarmouth where I was based for a year, living in Gorleston. North of there has some lovely coastline though.

naomi24

DTC, merely an observation.

DTCwordfan

For example, how well do you know the south coast of Fife? That to me is some of the most understated coastline in the UK. Politically, N.East Fife is with the Libs but the whole area, inc.Dunfermiline and Kirkcaldy could be a fair tussle with the SNP, Libs and Labour going head to head. I doubt Reform will have that much of an impact in that neck of the woods.
