Southend Pier closed after being struck by fishing boat

I saw this on the local news. It gave the pier a good whack!

You saw what Elton????

You can't just throw out a mailshot and not follow it through.

I visit here less and less because of the ever increasing amount of commercialism. It's like one huge advert. Very disappointing.

For the record, I don't own the boat, the pier, or the BBC - sorry for any confusion.
