Not that I wish to sterotype myself, but I do live in Essex - Rayleigh - so about 40 mins drive from Goldhanger (depending on my mood  :).  Often drive that way if I go to Colchester as I like to go scenic route.  It is lovely round there.

Great your still in Essex, you can teach us all the protocol lol. We don't want to stray into any dodgy areas! Maybe I should start watching "The Only Way is Essex" lol

I discuss it with my husband sometimes but that is it. I don't post on any other forums. Funny thing is I know a lot of people criticize Mike but I honestly believe he protects the people who post on this site.








Blimey, even I don't watch 'The Only Way is Essex' - makes me cringe.  We're not all like that, honest!  Essex is a funny place in a way, bit like a north and south divide within the county.  I think I'm an 'inbetweeny'.

I agree about Mike, it's a great forum.  He lets people say their piece and welcomes debate, and he has a lot of patience as all these topics have been debated over and over  - we're going round in circles...

It's only a small pub. But I should think the landlord will welcome you. Not sure if its the same landlord at the time of the tragedy? But I think he believed JB was innocent?

Probably not Grahame but I can imagine us having a good night and we could discuss things a lot quicker face to face.

Funny thing is, I always thought Essex was "posh" until I started reading the Bamber case. Then again I am from "Up North" so what do I know lol.

I'm sure I've read somewhere (can't remember where) that the landlord at the time said JB was a model customer.

Strangely enough I googled that pub today and they've got a great new food menu!

I'd be up for it too! Think it will be an interesting night out. I'm in Surrey and haven't really seen that end of Essex.

This is sounding better and better. I wonder how many people would actually commit to this though.

Even though I am such a noob and not in England to boot, I invite myself! I can always use an excuse to lure my partner to go to England with me... We went twice, but he tends to want to travel elsewhere. I always want to go to England! Just love it!
The scenery in Essex is beautiful and the pub looks so cosy...

On a more serious note, I hope the Bamber case will be reviewed. There are too many unclear points - that is why people are still pondering it, isn´t it!

Well that is two of us. I am sure if people realise this can be a serious debate and not a joke, more people will join in. I am sure we could even persuade Mike to come along  :D

I live in Copenhagen, Denmark, but I am Icelandic originally (I know we aren´t too popular in England these days! :P)
