When you think of England, you probably think
of this.
But there's another side of England.
Towns that are hit with poverty and neglect.
Like Jaywick, where the median household income is
just $38,000 a year.
If we don't get out in the next
couple of weeks, we wouldn't survive.
I'm heading there alone to witness life in
crumbling homes and abandoned streets.
We're being left behind.
I want to meet the people who stay
despite floods, drugs, and the town's tough reputation.
And I've set myself one mission.
To track down 12 of the most fascinating
locals in Jaywick, no matter how long it
takes.
The road trip begins now, here we go.
I'm about two hours away to Angie's Breakfast
and Burger Shack.
That is our destination in Jaywick.
Are you from here?
Do you know where Angie's Breakfast and Burger
Shack is?
Thank you so much.
So far, I'm getting the sense that a
lot of elderly folks live out here.
It's also super windy and freezing cold, so
I'm having second guesses about visiting in winter.
When I arrive at the food truck, I'm
surprised it's even open.
After some friendly banter with the owner, I
explain that I'm here to interview interesting locals.
And that's when her American husband overhears and
says there's a guy in town that I
must meet.
Danny, this is Rock with the burger van
and all that.
I'm sending a guy to you.
He's from the state.
He wants to get, you know, to know
Jaywick.
So obviously, I'm sending him to Mr. Jaywick.
Yeah, come to me about one o'clock
or something.
And thank you, Rock.
Nice to meet you, friend.
Suddenly, I have a mission to meet the
town's local legend, Danny, who said he's up
to meet me in a few hours.
You take care, guys.
You sure do.
In the meantime, I'm happy hanging out here
while I eat this delicious breakfast.
Egg, sausage, bacon, barbecue sauce.
It's incredible.
After just a few minutes, some neighbors walk
by, and I'm eager to ask them what
it's like to live in the UK's most
neglected town.
I've been to a lot worse s**tholes than
this.
The only thing that really makes it a
s**thole, let's be honest, is the people.
I live with him, unfortunately.
You're so sweet.
Like, you offer everyone a cup of tea
when they roll up.
That's amazing.
These lovelies have been with us since we
first opened.
They were one of our first customers.
Jaywick gets a bad rep, but the community
is one of the best you'll ever see
in this world.
I, myself, I'm transgender.
In Jaywick, we cherish the uniqueness of each
individual person.
Let it thrive.
That's fantastic.
Sam, are you doing all right, love?
Oh, I'm fine.
I didn't get the job, sadly.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry.
I can tell that you're a little down.
What was the job?
Bartending job at Tom Pepper's.
What's Tom Pepper's?
A pub, a nightclub.
And they just told you, sorry?
They said the position has been fulfilled.
That's a nice way of saying go home.
It's like, we only live like two doors
down and our house is completely made out
of asbestos.
That's not okay.
This is fully out of made of asbestos.
Oh my god, dude.
Holy shit.
We found a lot of mold.
Does asbestos feel great?
I'm already starting to get a better feel
for Jaywick.
Clearly, you never know who you're going to
meet around here.
And it's not as quiet as I first
thought.
Life is good?
Yeah.
You make life what it is, don't you?
But something about this place sets it apart
from other towns in the UK and I
want to find out what it is.
I'm on my way to meet the local
legend, Danny, who probably has the answers.
Hello.
Hello.
You must be Danny.
Yeah, hello.
What's your name?
Drew.
My baby's name is James.
Oh, I love your dog.
Oh, if you had him, you wouldn't love
him.
I have a little pug in my house.
He's a French bulldog, yeah.
This is cool, bro.
Wow.
So what's your name?
You're Drew?
Yeah, Drew.
Me and I am Jaywick.
I've lived here since 1986.
They say Jaywick's very deprived, but I think
it's very good because the houses are cheap.
I mean, there's people in London paying half
a million pounds for a house.
In Jaywick, we pay 50,000.
Way cheaper.
And you don't need a mortgage all your
life.
You don't need to pay the bank.
So Jaywick, to me, is happier.
Have you lived in this exact house since
the 80s?
I've lived in this house since 1995.
The Jaywick was like a holiday resort.
But when they shut Butlin's, all of the
infrastructure that was holiday, like the dance halls,
the go-kart track, the boating lake, all
of the souvenir shops, they all closed.
Man, the room that I grew up in,
I had posters like everywhere in my room.
It reminds me of being home.
Do you know what?
