    2nd wave is coming

    Having stayed in southend on sea last night (in the best hotel, in the best suit - massive patio looking over the sea)

    The place is a stinky tulip hole, full of fat tattoo loud racist idiots

    No social distancing

    Pubs crammed

    Beaches crammed

    Restaurants crammed

    Lots of people over 60

    Lots of people with obviously issues Covid-19 will just kill

    Everyone overweight

    2 ladies on the beach bent over in front of me, I actually turned my head away !!!

    Made me look slim !!!

    Got a pint for £1.49 !!!

    Went to a fish restaurant where my good lady asked if the had any non fried fish !!! - ohh how they laughter

    There is a stink in SOS that makes you want to puke

    Never again

      When people stand against the nature it always doesn't end well.

      Nature turned on its immune system and is fighting human infection...

              Been there just once, very pleasant. Was there to visit family. There is a restaurant run by Jamie Oliver’s aunt. Had fish and chips which was pretty good.

                TBF, asking for non-fried fish in a fish and chip shop, they probably thought she was an alien, and would be asking next for a glass of molten ice!

                    Corresponds with my city break in Hamburg this week from which I've just returned:

                    The city was reasonably quiet although there was a fair amount of traffic on the roads driving there

                    Plenty of social distancing. People of all ages respecting the rules although I will admit that there were a couple who would sometimes not wear a mask on public transport or get to close to you

                    Only 2 people allowed in the hotel lifts at any one time which was observed

                    All hotel staff were wearing face masks and so were guests in the areas that they had to

                    Main city center was quite busy. You entered and exited shops through a designated door which had hand sanitisers by them and had to wear a maks

                    Pubs and restaurants were fairly busy because only a certain amount of customers were allowed in, we made reservations. All serving staff wore face masks

                    Museums and attractions were open (I did the Spice museum and prototype museum) where you had to wear face masks in certain areas and social distancing was observed

                    Food in the hotel was excellent. Breakfast was freshly cooked for you and the evening meal was great. They also had a vinyl room with 1500 albums where you could chill out, another area with pinball and retro Atari video games, all set-up so that social distancing could be observed and regularly disinfected

                    Weather was pretty good, even got a bit of a tan, all in all, really rather worth the break
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
