As we live in Essex we recently received Essex Works, a magazine produced by Essex County Council. In a 'feature' article it extolled the virtues of "Thinking local, buying local". It included the joys of holidaying in Essex and thus your spending stays within the county and supports the local community.
To support this, there were some pictures. One, uncaptioned, shows a bit of the Thames estuary. It is in fact a picture of part of Canvey Island, taken from somewhere near Hadleigh castle (for those of you who know the area). What they don't mention is just to the right but out of the picture is the oil refinery...
Then there's a picture captioned "Southend pier", except that it's not Southend pier, it's Clacton pier! I assume the editor doesn't himself holiday in Essex.
