• The grand is shit. I don't know why you like it so much. Talk is better. KC's and Ali Baba's are better kebeb shops than the broadway grill. Southend is shit. Westcliff is dirty and full of tramps pissing on the streets. U are lucky to be alive if you live near a) the kursaal, b) southend high street or c) the palace theatre hotel as this means the kosovans havent a)raped you, b) mugged you or c) hacked at you with an axe. Thats my realistic view on "sunny southend-on-sea".

• All Hook Up spots are now closed down, by order of Nick BURTON   
• All hook ups spots - indeed everything are rumoured to be under threat by proposals to demolish Leigh on Sea and replace the village with a giant temple to the Dark Lord in All His Splendour. Non-cult villagers are urged to write to their local councillor to stop the hooved git from wrecking the town's long and proud traditions of closeted homosexuality and line dancing.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
