Essex is known for many things, white stilettos, Ford Fiestas with fluffy dice and good old seaside holiday parks in delightful places such as Jaywick.

You may have seen the new Channel 4 series entitled How The Other Half Live already, but if not you missed a great episode last night. It featured non-other than industry bigwig and Park Holidays UK (PHUK?) owner Peter Bull, and just goes to show the sort of wedge the holiday parks are raking in day in day out. He’s said to be personally worth upwards of £40m.
