Oh those were the days......
And now for a traffic update from our South East of England motoring correspondents. Exotic stuff to us up North.
I remember when you could drive down to Southend, saluted by AA men with motor bikes and sidecars and count the number of cars on your fingers and toes, nearly.
I'm talking Ford Anglias, Zephyrs and Zodiacs here and split screen Moris Minors.
Is the Kursaal still going?

Yep, and you used to be able to turn and go back the other way, the Rayleigh weir was a roundabout AND you used to be able to go 70mph.
Kursaal shut as a funfair years ago, the main building's still there with bowling I think. Haven't been in there since I saw Queen supporting Mott The Hoople in the ballroom.

To be fair they've invested an awful lot of money in Southend but us old school will always remember for what it was.
The Boy Racers, the pier that got burnt down every year, walking the pier but getting the train back, the Wimpy where you sat down with a knife and fork and the cafe next door that had a sign up saying 'If it's good enough for eastenders it's good enough for you', Peter Pans playground with it's crooked house and who could forget the Golden Hind !!
These days though Peter Pans is huge, the seafront has been re-modelled with loads more parking and the walkway from the town centre straight onto the pier is a good addition.
It's still a shithole though, no offence.
