Southend gets new site!

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Here at Southend we think of the future. We can all make a better tomorrow by recycling our trash, buying ecological food and switching to more environment friendly power sources.
So when us at Southend discovered that our old homepage was actually coal driven, polluted the air with black smoke and leaked oil everywhere, we decided to do something about it!

I present to you *drumroll* the new and improved Southend site! It’s driven on wind power and fairy dust and it’s soooo much better in every way imaginable! Holy smokes!

So what are you waiting for? Step right in! Don’t be shy! Please, tell us what you think!
