Wanted to see a few things this weekend. So stayed a couple of nights at the travel lodge in illford as it was fair easy to get to from the m1
Anyways, what do people think of the place?
I want to see if people share my same opinions.

You here loud music, turn around a Bently Conti GT is there with a load of young sikhs (too many to be legally in the car) ripping down the high street. The a few mintues later, another asian chap with his hood up in a 57 plate black r8, smashes it on the limiter, dumps the clutch and goes sideways down the street. A 05 plate 530d rolls by really slow loooking at me and the girlfriend with a load of black lads with there hoods up in it.
That was just a selection of them in the space of 10 minutes. And they cant all be stolen. What do they do for a living because i couldnt see any industry/job there to warrent how many people there was knocking about in he day times doing sweet F.A.
Everyone speeds everywhere, im a young lad, im not one for hanging about, but by christ they drive fast. 40 limit, your poking along at 50 and people are 2 inches from your bumper, over taking you stupid quick. Every set of traffic lights, you cant just pull off, people are edgeing you to pull off a tfull throttle. he driving standard was appauling, probably due to the majority of them not having a UK license.
Also had a ride down southend. Some of the folk driving around there were embarrasing. Banged up escorts with huge exhaust, so loud you had to turn the radio up, and they were like 20 stone, giving you the stair at traffic lights
Never been southend before, but thought it was pretty commical. The arcades where nice and cheap though! Cheaper than any other sea sid resort im use to going to (blackpool, skegness etc) my miles

I was very shocked. I was expecting blonde girls in mini skirts in the passenger seat of an Xr3i

The only places I've ever been to in Essex are Basildon, Billericay and Southend.
