Interviewing the locals of so-called 'deprived' Jaywick | UK Travel Vlog

- Join me as I travel back to Jaywick after 2 years to check out the Sun Spot opening and chat with the locals.
Most people will know the negative press Jaywick gets but personally I prefer to get under the skin of a place rather than talk about the condition of the accommodation....there's endless videos on that, bores the sxxt out of me....
You'll see constant articles online about the area being 'poor' and 'deprived' but that's a perception...What is 'poor'? What about the people who live there? Perhaps they're poor in the hand but rich in the heart? I'll leave it for you to decide...

Danny is a legend beyond Jaywick. after watching his TH-cam channel and meeting Ieda while on holiday in march I've decided to sell my house and move to Jaywick. Shine on Danny, i look forward to joining you bring Jaywick back to glory.
Shine on you crazy diamond ! We only pass this way once, best of luck to you 👍
I personally feel offended when media and people put down Jaywick 😟 I’ve never been but intend to visit and make it my home within next few years ❤
He was the funniest kid in school! Not particularly a bad kid, but always in trouble for daft trivial things. I can hear the teachers now in the corridors of clacton County High school... SLOGGIT!!! Come here now! 😂 great second name too, it sounds like a Dickens character Lol!
Thats the best thing about councils estates and "poor" communities. There's always friendly people who will chat
Spot on
Yes please interview Danny! What a pukka, loving guy. I would LOVE to hear all about him. Shine on!
You should do an interview with Danny Sloggit next time you are in the area, he is a local celebrity. Everyone in jaywick knows him, and most people in Clacton know him. You would definitely get a lot of views for your channel.
I'm a massive Floyd fan too, interview Danny, he's a legend!!!!!!!!
I spent time in Jaywick in 1991 as part of a study for my geography degree, to look at the housing and in particular to see the traditional wooden , self built houses and bungalows that were there back then - I walked around Brooklands, the whole village and photographed lots of it - everyone was fantastic. I was welcomed by local people and they were all genuine. I met quite a lot of the elderly folk who had lived there since the very beginning, and who will be long gone by now but I hope their grandkids are still there and doing well. I'd love to go back one day and I have never forgotten Jaywick and its people - and from what i see here, the place is still unique and a great community. Thanks for doing this video.
Danny is amazing. Love his message and positivity. Shine on!!
Terrific video. We need more positivity like this.
Cheers Jim!
Yes mate... would love to hear that interview.... I'm goin thru a rough patch atm, ... I need to shine on. 😢
3:30 I 100% agree with her, my mate Scott Stark (RIP) lived there and I used to drive down to see him on the regular. She is SPOT ON about the incredible sense of community, these people didn't know me but treated me like I was one of them (although having my own addiction struggles I truly WAS one of them!) They are lovely Essex people and there's a better sense of community there than here in Braintree, Essex. I send massive love and hugs to all that live in Jaywick!
Good man Danny is. Ive known him a long time but not seen each other for years. Back in the Ashford KENT days. Shine on! 🌞
shine on
I know it's a sunny day out there - but you just don't get this kind of friendly, welcoming community in "posher" areas, people don't hang out on the street together when they've got money - they rarely even know thier neighbours, they hide in thier houses, suspicious of strangers . Shine on you lovely people - you still have your own love and humanity in all its messy disfunctional reality -you're probably among the sanest people in a mad world ! And God bless Danny Sloggit ! Please, some millionaire - help them out with some cold hard cash. 🎩Xxxxxx
patronising much
@@RJH1971 sorry, didn't mean to offend ... ...but who was I patronising? And how? Explain pls.
Edit - just looked at your channel for 2 minutes - now your comment totally makes sense....... I didn't realise i was talking to a genuine working class hero! My apologies sir. And shine on you lovely people of Jaywick , God bless Danny Sloggit, and pls some millionaire - help them out with some cold hard cash ! 🖕
I love Jaywick and those characters are the best!! Absolute salt of the earth. Fab video that one. 😊😊
Glad you enjoyed!
Firstly I'm new to this channel and it's an extremely good channel and i loved that chap's comment we've not got alot of money but we have HEART that's bloody brilliant
Cheers mate, welcome to the channel!
Shine on..get that interview
Shine on Isabelle .
Yes that would be so cool to hear a real life story
Great video! I love Clacton!!
I go to Frinton on Sea a lot. Jaywick is a million miles away from Frinton.
I want see the in-depth interview.
🎥
The government used Jaywick, Brooklands as a dumping ground (i met people there from all over Essex, Liverpool, Manchester, London etc) for those with addiction and mental health problems. The government then also gave these people @#£% all help! So these people formed their own community and helped each other out best they could. I visited there in around 2008 onwards (i think?) the Sunspot was abandoned, everything was broken, empty. It actually looks a lot better on this footage than back then. The government were exposed of their poor treatment of these vulnerable people that need help not just ignoring. This was what i learned on my many visits but the locals when my mate introduced me, ALL treated me like FAMILY! Id NEVER experienced that treatment before!
I really want to go there with a view to settling down and helping the community, I’m sick of living in Yorkshire been here all my life but there’s zero community left and folk just seem soulless after Covid 😟
Yes please Danny.
Jaywick is rough, as in, there aint a lot of money there, but it is totally safe to walk around at night (safer than clacton town). The people are great too, and would give you their last pound if you needed it more than they do. My friend was a postman there for a good few years, and he always said that the jaywick people gave him far better xmas tips than other areas (more upmarket) like Frinton or Holland on sea, were people obviously had more money. The beaches are some of the best along this part of the coast too.
Get Danny on, would be an interesting watch 😊
I have had some good times in Jaywick.
Cool video, I lived in Clacton and used to go to Jaywick, good to see it all again. I live in Colchester now.
Just out of interest, what camera do you use for your footage?
Great content
😀
Thanks very much…my usual camera is the canon G7x mark 2 but this was shot on the DJI Osmo action 4 🤟🏼
@ADayintheUK
Good choices. I have been looking at the new DJI Pocket 3. I recon that would be a great camera for walk about documentary style videos. I also have Sony ZV E10. 👍
I like Danny. A good human being going on what I've just watched, looks like suggs bless him
Yes please 🙏🏻
Yes to the indepth interview with Mr Sloggett! DId it ever happen?
It will definitely happen, need to sync diaries with him
Danny is a good egg so YES
shine on
@5:10 ... kites 🙂
The thing is Jaywick is 10x what it was 10 years ago.
Do the interviews
Let’s be real, jaywick is a hell hole, lack of funding lack of amenities and real lack of class, its poverty stricken and heavy on crime. It’s passed help imo and lost. Sad
U r so righ bring back national service s
