Having worked in Blackpool for over 33 years, and having never been to Kent, I was trying to gauge what was being discussed.

Maidstone is worse than Blackpool - no lights and no piers Oh, and I don't think they have a Lineker's bar either

After all the good times we’ve had there virtually, we need a decent get together in real life. Nice. I've never been to Maidstone.

Margate is pretty popular now although Broadstairs just up the coast is the place where anyone sensible lives. There's a Turner gallery in Margate, a big art community, quite a decent music scene. Probably more going on there than there is in Southampton although we're not exactly the type of culture benchmark that anyone is comparing themselves against.

Definitely not. They did once have a massive sheep made out of flowers plonked in the town centre and a takeaway called Abrakebabra both of which made me laugh every time I saw them.

Transmission record store is in Margate, which is probably one of the best in the country.

The Cat Posted 16 January, 2021 Posted 16 January, 2021 Tovil was an absolute hole when I lived round that way. I worked part time in the Tesco there when someone shat on the floor and it got dragged around the shop under a wheel of a trolly. 2

whelk Posted 17 January, 2021 Posted 17 January, 2021 Tbf shitting on a supermarket floor is mental illness more than lack of class. Personally I’d have ditched the trolley or at least tried to write something clever on the floor

Mrs Turkish used to work at the Rose Bowl, during one of the ODIs someone curled one out in the club shop. 1

SW5 SAINT Posted 17 January, 2021 Posted 17 January, 2021 Don’t be so ridiculous. A coup-sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. Are you seriously trying to claim they were trying to seize power? Stop exaggerating, I’ve seen worse in Maidstone on a Sat night. He does sound more and more like Rupert Lowe every time he posts. I suppose it goes with the politics.......
Mystic Force Posted 18 January, 2021 Posted 18 January, 2021 I think the men of Kent were famous for rebelling and marching on London during medieval times. Including probably one of the best known, Wat Tyler, although he started in Canterbury not Maidstone.

If he had started out from Maidstone he probably would have ended up on the bottom of the Medway with a lead weight in his codpiece.
