Kent

Any Kenter's here? Sounds like it's a lovely area. Do you agree?

Re: Kent

I remember a friend of a friend telling me Kent was down South and they were all rich. That was around the time of the miner`s strike. Did Kent not have mines?

Re: Kent

Yes it did and they suffered too under the Thatcher Govt. However, Kent is a beautiful county, it really is!

Re: Kent

Had a static caravan on Isle of Sheppey for about 4 years, have to say there is a pretty side to Kent but not all of it is lovely. Some areas are very run down and I think lack of jobs has hit some areas badly too so the people look run down in those areas too. But get away from those areas and you are in the garden of England. Just sad it's not all so nice.

Yes Kent did have mines, now the South is reported to have big reserves of oil and gas. Yes everybody north of Watford inc Wales believes the streets in the South are paved with gold and we are all rich and talk posh.

Much prefer Sussex living close to Arundel myself , all nice inc Chichester and its huge inland harbor area, Goodwood etc and the South Downs National Park which I live on , which stretches from Hampshire across Sussex to the beauty of the Seven Sisters in East Sussex.

Oh yes we got rich buying up the striking miners cars for peanuts and selling them down here for loads of money.
