Hmmm. I know if I had a contract measured in millions of £££s per annum I would hang on as long as I could. And I suspect, old chap, you would be tempted to as well.

It doesn't really matter one way or the other if he stays or goes......his contract, if his lawyers are any good...... would be paid up to the end of it's tenure in full......if it was me I'd take the money and run and then spend a few weeks on the Costa de Southend without the worry and stress the job brings.....and then look for my next gig in a few months time

I can think of better places to run to tbh. I live in southend and it’s got worse and worse. Jaywick might be nice

Don't knock Jaywick.
I spent a fortnight in Grimsby one day.

Jaywick was my Dad's place of holiday back in the 40s and 50s.(place where a lot of the East End went)

My Dad and his brothers decided to take us there in 1979.What a shithole,but we enjoyed ourselves..Me and my brother got a nice little earner at the Amusements there.The penny pusher(think it was 5p's then) was left opened and me and my bruv scooped the jackpot

Nice jackpot.
I used to work all round the country and whenever I told people where I was from there was a lot of them telling me how they used to go southend for their holidays. Thought it was just popular with Londoners back in the day but these people I spoke to were as far away as Manchester.

Remember when I was a kid my old man used to drink in the Princess Alice in Forest gate and they organised a trip to Southend on a boat which left from Tower pier. It unloaded at the end of Southend pier and then carried on across the estuary to Margate. Bloody great trip and the booze on the boat back was flowing and I remember my mum giving the old man grief for letting me indulge in a couple of beers. Shame they don’t do those trips regularly now.
