    Best chain working lunch establishment.

    If I step outside the office I tend to use Leon or Wasabi. Not cheap but nothing is in Canary Wharf. When I worked on Fleet Street I used Pilpel, a small falafel and humus chain which was fantastic. Anyone else got any favourites?

    More local restaurant reviews.....

    IL Torrente, Benfleet. Food OK but overpriced and I think they are trying to cash in on an upmarket South Benfleet clientele. They didn't have Amaretto which is odd for an Italian restaurant and I saw them make an Irish coffee and stir the cream in. Don't think they will be around long unless...

    Explosion in car park at SEEVIC

    Reports of an explosion and car fire at SEEVIC earlier this evening and a body having been recovered from the car. Shocking news, thoughts are with all those affected - and there would have been a lot of students and staff still there at the time, and people using the swimming pool and at the...

    Southend United themed cars.

    I saw one recently at Benfleet Station and have to admit a soft spot for the Canveymobile which I regularly see. Does anyone else have a Southend themed car? If not what make/model would you choose? I would probably go for something like a Talbot Samba or an Austin Allegro.

    Restaurant Scores on the doors

    Do you refuse to eat anywhere if they have a low rating? I have stopped going to a few places after checking their ratings online. Luckily the Mumtaz Mahal in Benfleet has five stats so I won't starve.

    Police commissioner elections.

    I voted in Benfleet at 8:35 this morning and was the third voter since 7am. I suspect a combination of voter apathy and candidates from 'fringe' parties such us UKIP and English Democrats could throw up a few surprises.

Moved away sometime ago and when I do come down for the game I'm off the train at Prittlewell and pretty much into the...
