I grew up in Brentwood.
Back in my day, the Sugar Hut was more of an indie-rock-pub, called TJ's. It was trying to compete with The Castle, which the Sam's crowd have also stolen..... |

True. As I've already said, I live and work in Brentwood and I've never met anyone like that in my life. But then I've never been to Sugar Hut, nor wanted to. Give me The Teris Bar and The Gardeners any day over that dump.
Best thing that ever happened to Brentwood was Sugar Hut burning down - shame they reopened the place. You've given me such a great insight into real Essex. I wish someone would commission a prog made by real Essex people about this particular crowd which gives them such a bad name. With your sense of humour and knowledge you'd make a brilliant 'observers'!

I'm guessing the whole thing is a ruse to bag lauren and mark a celebrity-style-paid-for-by-OK-Wedding.
This is the vehicle they need to catapult themselves into the limelight. The bits that made me laugh we where Mark either had to tell us, or get his friend to ask him, so he could then tell us, how much everything he was buying cost. What a tool! |

Yeah, Loughton & surrounding areas have people like that in it, but there is so much more to it!! I watch the show on the basis I can go 'Oh I know that place!' I worked as a saturday girl in the hairdressers shown last night, oh yeah! ![]()

Im less anti Mark, having watched the second episode. Him sitting with his gran, eating too much bread pudding, made me smile.
The beautician is now my new irritant. She has the most awful face and will never make it in modelling. I like Lauren and hope she, isn't playing up for the camera, and is actually moving on from Mark. |

Jeez that guy telling Amy she'd be 'super famous'.
This just gets worse and worse. It wouldn't be so bad if they could at least act in the staged scenes, but they can't. Cracks me up. And the girl band are terrible. |

Does Nanny Pat have a vajazzle?
I cannot watch it. This is setting Essex back 20 years. Some of the 'characters' will be figures of hate - Mark in particular. Shame. |

There are quite a few people like this in Essex, but I don't think anyone watching (well maybe some) would really be silly enough to think all people from a certain area (Essex in this case) are exactly the same.
I have only seen the 'shut up' ad and not watched it, but know the sort having been to Epping forest country club in my youth.

'The only was is Essex' OFFICIAL THREAD.
I've started this as there are so many threads on the topic scattered around (i.e. asking general questions etc) that I thought one big official thread where we can discuss gossip/episodes etc here.
The latest episode is tonight and i'm not sure if it's just me but I love Harry (Amy's cousin). 'Shut up'

So not content with the other 972 threads on this programme you decide to start another one? And declare it more important than all the others?
Mods, can we let this programme have it's own forum? Maybe to replace the BB forum? Cause they ain't going to shut up. |
