Lol.   Thats probably true,   there has been a big influx of Jewish people moving to the island which was a bit of a culture shock for many people.

Has there been a lot of development on the Island then?  Newbuild housing and civic amenities for example?

Very little new housing,  mostly the big stores are moving in. There’s now an M&S, Lidl, screwfix , B&m.  

We mostly only venture into the island for M&S.

This is Canvey Island we're talking about I guess?

Market forces driving people to seek affordable housing elsewhere than their roots.

You're from north of the estuary perhaps, Benfleet/Hadleigh ?  
I think you're the Laird of Hadleigh Castle, the number of times you've filmed it

South Benfleet, please.   None of that Benfleet Riff raff.

Yes. So it would seem.  They made a documentary about them but I didn’t watch it.

Oh dear! Touched a nerve, have I?  Sorry

Laird.  I like that.  I put together my yearly calendar this morning and sent off the files for printing.  I usually make a micro calendar and gift it at Christmas.  I think there’s three shots of the castle in it this year.

It’s a long running local joke.

Obviously it's not run far enough to reach Derbyshire

No.  I wouldn’t expect it to.

No problem.  I was just teasing a bit.

I can photoshop one if its required.

I'm sure you could but definitely not necessary.
