the film makes me smile it always about Canvey Island. yes, they had a bad time but what about the folk in the old Town Leigh on sea they suffered the flood and have stories to tell.

Ha, well nothing happened with global warming, the sea has not risen any noticeable amount in 30 years, another 10 to go to 2030, so the barrier will probably be in use for 100 years
