of Malt, Freezing Cold Lino, Outside Lavs, Ice on the Inside of Windows, Coal Fires (when you could afford coal) that burnt your front & froze your back!! That’s what I remember! The Good Old Days, when we had nothing – which so many hark back on with affection. When we could all leave our Front Doors unlocked & not worry about being burgledThat’s because we had nothing worth burgling!!!!! Lionel Bart may well have caught the spirit of the times with his lyrics, but he didn’t actually quite see the future affluence. Universal Education, Universal Medical Care, Haute Cuisine on the Dinner Table, Food aplenty & affordable, Designer Clothes for the Masses, 2 (& 3,4 or more) Car Families, Home Ownership for most - All achievable & attainable for a Generation that grasped the opportunity.
ENJOY YOURSELF, IT’S LATER THAN YOU THINK... Brought to you by Ron Radway from Essex Equity Release. “We used to have fun, Our Dad & Our Mum Paddlin’ down Southend, But now it ain’t done, Look at us Chum, Paris is where we spend our Weekends” Ah, Max Bygraves taking us back to the Fifties! Even in those dark days of austerity we were still aspirational- Could feel the Wind of Change, Things could only get Better! And indeed they were, for the Parents of the Baby Boomers, Children of The Depression - Compared with how they were brought up, before & during the Second World War. But it’s not how I remember it: Brown Sauce Sandwiches, Sugar Buppies, Camp Coffee, Welfare Orange Juice, Daily Spoonful
But what of those Baby Boomers now, those in their 60’s & 70’s now, surviving on a depleted Pension, in Debt to Mortgage & Credit Cards – Will they be as stoic as their Parents, now in their 80’s & 90’s? Will they suffer the Cold Days of Winter, turning down the Bars on the Electric Fire terrified of the Bill (whilst 20,000 die per year from hypothermia!)? Will they make do on Bread & Dripping, instead of Prawn Cocktail? I doubt it, unless forced to - they’re used to better Fings!!!!! Central Heating, Double Glazing, Bathrooms, Fitted Kitchens, Holidays Abroad, Cars, Eating Out – All the things that Baby Boomers worked for, & have come to expect as their right! But if they are Home Owners there is a choice – They can access the Cash Locked Up in their Homes, with a suitable Equity Release Scheme - Using their property to maintain the Lifestyle they have become used to – And why not, we’re only here once! Equity Release Schemes don’t suit everybody, & you need Expert Independent Advice as to the best way forward, but if you need to raise money, for any reason, it’s worth finding out about. Call now for a quick chat or to arrange a meeting.
This Article is sponsored by
EERAC, a division of OneCall Financial, specialises in the needs & concerns facing the Baby Boomer eneration. Arranging Annuities, Wills, Trusts & Power of Attorney, has been in the forefront of Equity Release Advice since 1999.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company
policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Benfleet, Thundersley, hadliegh &
Daws Heath and manager Chris Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

HAPPY LAWN NEW YEAR March is the start of the year for your lawn in the UK. Here are some key details to the first key month.
March heralds the start of the lawn care year. Having said that it is still too early for many jobs so make a start with aeration and moss killing, ensure equipment is serviced and ready for use and get your shopping list ready for this years lawn care. Summary ‘to do’ list for now through March: • Reduce worm casting prior to mowing • Treat moss with a Ferrous Sulphate • Aeration - use spikes • Light topping with the mower • Turfing jobs Shopping list: Angus Downcast - worm casting deterrent, Ferrous Sulphate - moss killer, Grass Seed, Fertiliser , Weed Killer Mowing the Lawn Some of you will already have given your lawn a light New Year cut and with the potential for some slightly warmer weather this month, another cut, or your first cut, preferably on firm dry ground may be required. It’s doubtful if this is the start of the mowing season just yet but it does offer the opportunity to tidy the lawn and check the mower is working as it should. Keep the cut high taking off just the very top. Fertilising the Lawn This is not necessarily the start of your fertilising schedule as weather can still bite with a cold spell. For most parts of the UK April is the time to start feeding though if March does warm up those in the southern half of the country may benefit from an early fertiliser application. If you want to give the lawn a colour and health boost WITHOUT stimulating too much growth, copy the green keeper and apply a turf hardener. This will help the grass resist disease and green it up nicely with the added benefit of blackening moss if used at the highest rate. Weed Control You should wait until April at least to use weed killer - May is better still but manual weeding can be done particularly as the two weeds that are likely to be about this month are hard to kill at the best of times. Digging them out is about the only sure fire way of controlling them.

KONG: SKULL ISLAND MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 10/03/17 Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures have some monstrous big screen plans over the next few years. First up on the road to 2020s Godzilla vs. Kong is Kong: Skull Island. The Jordan Vogt-Roberts film has just started production in Hawaii and the local Reel Tour Hawaii have posted photos of what they purport to be images from the King Kong set. Check them out below! A trip back to the mysterious and dangerous home of the king of the apes, the new film will reportedly follow a team of explorers (led by a character played by Tom Hiddleston), who venture deep inside the treacherous, primordial island to find the leaders brother and a mythical serum, confronting extraordinary creatures along the way. From the look of the below King Kong set photos, the production appears to be on the right track as far as monsters go. Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Jing Tian, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Shea Whigham and Toby Kebbell are also set to star in Kong: Skull Island. A few of them can be seen posing together in a third photo from the tour company. Per Samuel L. Jacksons Instagram, hes learning to pilot the helicopter pictured. Will we be seeing the same helicopters on the King Kong set? They certainly seem to match the rumored 70s setting. Kong: Skull Island is scripted by John Gatins and Max Borenstein. Legendarys John Jashni and Thomas Tull are producing alongside Mary Parent. Legendary has promised that the story will honor the foundations of existing King Kong lore, but will place Skull Island in an entirely new, distinct timeline.

Perform cardio 1-3 days per week • 30-60 minutes. • Any activity you choose. • Make sure it’s something you enjoy. Eat less than you are currently eating. • Get the majority of your food from nutrient dense, minimally processed sources. • Eat a protein source with each meal. • Eat a vegetable source with each meal. • Keep your liquid intake to water, tea, coffee, or milk. • Don’t snack & Eat slowly. Switch things up every 1-3 months • Change exercises, sets, or reps. • Change the cardio you’re doing. • Eat a bit less food. Be CONSISTENT stick to the plan 80% of the time It Really Is That Simple. For most people, the plan above would get them exactly where they want to be, and then some.
TOO SMART TO BURN FAT “Simplicity is the key to brilliance.” Bruce Lee You know what’s crazy? We live in an era where we can access a limitless supply of free information, on any subject, with the click of a button. You know what’s even crazier? It’s because of all of this free information that most of us never reach our fat loss goals. Everyone likes to tout the expression, “knowledge is power.”
It doesn’t require an insane amount of complexity to lose body fat. It just requires consistency, effort, and enough strategy to make sure your plan is specific to the goals you want to achieve. Like Nike always says, “JUST DO IT!”

Unfortunately, they almost always leave out the piece of the puzzle that actually makes knowledge powerful – TAKING ACTION. Most people are too smart for their own good. They have so many tools and tricks floating around in their head that they never get around to using any of them. And, in 99% of cases – especially when it comes to losing body fat – they don’t need to. Dumb Down Your Approach. If you’re a competitive bodybuilder – or any other physique related athlete – take this advice lightly. There’s more complexity needed to go from “lean” to “shredded” (with that said, the fundamentals still account for the majority of your results). For everyone else, make things so simple it scares you. Here’s an example: Lift Weights 2-4 days per week • Prioritize compound, multi-joint lifts: squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls, rows, lunges, carries. • 50% of the time, lift heavy (3-6 reps). 50% of the time, lift light (6-15 reps). • Focus on doing a bit more weight, or a few more reps, each session. • Do something fun at the end of each workout.
• flyers, leaflets, posters, business cards • advertising • artworking • stationery • brand identity and logo design • illustration • retouching • signage • events and exhibition materials • web and email graphics 18 years experience in design and advertising. Low rates compared to agencies. Based in Benfleet. To discuss your project please contact Ritchie

CASTLE
POINT
COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERSHIP
Don’t fall foul of courier fraud In Castle Point there have been a number of reports from people scammed for a large amount of money where criminals are calling members of the public and tricking them into handing cards and PIN numbers to a courier on your doorstep. There are many variations of the fraud, but usually follow this method: A fraudster will cold call you on a landline, claiming to be from your bank or the police. They state their systems have spotted a fraudulent payment on your card or it is due to expire and needs to be replaced. To reassure you
they are genuine, they suggest you hang up and ring the bank/police back. However, they don’t disconnect the call from the landline so when you dial the new phone number, you are actually still speaking to the fraudster. They will ask you to provide your PIN or type it on your phone keypad. Finally, they send a courier to you to collect your bank card. The fraudster has obtained your name, address, full bank details, card and PIN. Protect yourself against courier fraud • The police or your bank will never send a courier to your home - Will never collect your bank card - Will never ask for cash, valuables, or your PIN • If you receive one of these calls end it immediately without providing information. • If you wish to call your bank, use a number known to you, not one provided by the caller. Call from another phone, or call a friend first to ensure the offenders have been disconnected from your line. • Always ask for & check identification before letting anyone you don’t know into your house.
