It may be an ironic statement pertaining to the lack of amenities along this stretch of the river, or it may be an example of rugged self reliance. Or neither of these.
Near a point where it is unclear to me whether this is Eastcourt Marshes or Shornemead Marshes, but a place where anglers may sit and ponder what they may ponder while awaiting fish, or drinkers may drink, or the weary tarry as they rest their bones, or pyromaniacs set fires..
Across the river, international capital is at work: a ship, Sertao, under 'arrest' due to unpaid bills and moored off Tilbury as it was cheaper than leaving it up north: the slow demolition of Tilbury B power station to make room for the expansion of Tilbury Docks, whose major shareholder, I read, is the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) of Canada.
