currently trying to gather info on an english place called Kent which is a scottish word meaning "understood"

all the ebay items I have bought from Kent I get bad communication and they seem "off" Ive asked some English what the people of Kent are like and they say its a semi nice place let down by its stuck up horrible people. What's this forums opinion on this place? need to know so I know for certain to avoid this town or city. dunno what it is but so far it sounds like the water supply is contaminated

I find Kent relatively easy to avoid. Yorkshire can be a slippery bugger though, and I don't know if it's just me, but Norfolk just seems to spring out from nowhere when I'm least expecting it.

The answer to your question Bratty, is no.

HK will back me.

Bratty, I would strongly recommend avoiding anywhere in foreign England. For all our sakes. :

How is that possible? You have to be heading there to be there. You can't exactly go through it enroute.

Perhaps I was being too surreal.

We suffer from being too close to London and France. The Romans came, saw and conquered through Kent. Watling Street (parts of which are now known as the A2) is Roman in origin, heads to London from Dover via Canterbury, crosses the Thames and heads off to Holyhead. We built much of Nelson's Royal Navy (HMS Victory is one of ours, built at Chatham Dockyard). The Luftwaffe gave us a fair old pasting in 1940, and again with the V1s.

According to the Wikis:



Traditionally, Kent has been known as the Garden of England. This was because the county's economy was mostly rural and the place was stuffed with farms providing all kinds of produce - hops, apples, strawberries and plenty more. While there is still a fair amount of that rural Kent about (ten minutes from where I live - between Maidstone and Chatham - and I'm out in proper farmland), we have our fair share of motorways and railways. We have High Speed 1 linking the Channel Tunnel with London, and the M2 and M20 pave over large chunks of landscape heading for the Channel Ports.

There's a lot of nice about Kent, and a lot of bad. The area known as Thanet, for example, is one of the most deprived in the UK. Perhaps Bratty's eBay sellers come from the dodgier parts. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Maybe you were using Apple's Maps app. (8+D

The area around Leeds Castle is beautiful

Ill avoid I guess, (going to coventry next time im in England) shame hitler didnt wipeout Kent completely I guess

Thanks. Bear in mind if he had, the rest of you would've been next.

not likely, hitler always craved an alliance with UK as he loved "britain" according to historians and all my weird books, he attacked it but probably only enough to "subdue" them not to totally annihaliate, hard to explain

one of my 1933 books which doesnt make sense before ww2, and it has pics of hitler and hes referred to as "herr hitler of germany" plus the book is called "the first world war" which books before ww2 never referred to it as that, creepy

Best he gives you warning if he ever does decide to visit

warning against what? it wont be to see english oddly enough, Indians only

Brataccas, be careful now. I don't want to have to start swinging the Banhammer again.
