Agreed Harry, you can't beat Canvey City Centre.

:D We don't even have a sodding Starbucks Ken. :'(

Do you have an opening for "Ken's Coffee Shop and Naughty Girl's Emporium" ?

to be honest, Sheffield City Centre is much worse. and Meadowhall is aptly nicknamed Meadowhell

I have big love for Southend High Street but like most things in the town (e.g. pier, Fossetts farm) it is too bloody big. I've always loved how our town has an inferiority complex and an over-inflated ego at the same time.

Surely this is more apt for Canvey?

That's exactly what I meant.

Southend high street isn't great for shopping (especially if you're a man) considering the size of it and full of scummy chavs. A depressing place indeed. I only go there because I live in Leigh which is largely cafes, hairdressers/beauty salons and pointless arts/crafts shops and it's more effort to go to Basildon or Lakeside.

I wouldn't get too hung up on it.

If you venture outside Essex you will find we are all regarded as 'scummy chavs' - even those who drive a nice car or live in Leigh or Thorpe bay.

But Leigh is the centre of the universe, some of the richest people in the world live there. It is the most picturesque place on the planet and has an art trail where you can view hundreds of pictures of, you guessed it, Leigh-ON-Sea. Also, nowhere else in the UK has as many curly fries per square mile.

The only thing it lacks is a Grand Prix.

...and a Marina. A mate of mine used to drive a Morris Ital which looks a bit similar but it's not the same.
