Kentish Man

Hi I know exactly where your coming from and so much of what your saying we have said ourselves so many times. We have been here 8 years now and from our experience with our two kids the education system here is way off what they had before. Just seems so layed back and lack of basic rules and regulations for starters. As far as you returning to the UK and regretting it, I personally would perhaps just hang out a while to get your citizenship just so you don't close the door behind you so to speak. It's a horrible situation to be in limbo when you think that this should be the happiest days of our lives. I promise you your not alone. Mark

You was bad because you was twirling buttons lol Thanks Bolt for your memories. I'll pm soon for some more Mark

I heard also about the fire and apparently the owner also has a couple of other building that burnt down... Such bad luck he has lol I do remember the model village in Ramsgate, right at the top of the hill that looked down onto the harbour which always seemed to have green water in it. This is really showing my age now but I was very young, but talking of Broadstairs I remember being in a proper ice cream parlour there the ones with the wicker chairs etc and you could get banana splits and knicker bocker glories and the Bee Gees Tragedy came on the juke duke box that they had in there What school dod you go to? I went to St. Gregory's

Likewise Bolt4, also born in Margate. Remember when I was a nipper a few years ago now before moving to Maidstone, spending most of the school hols hanging around Dreamland. Good old days when we only went home if it was dark or we was hungry

Hi Was just wondering if there is anyone from Kent either here in Oz or in Blighty ? I grew up in Maidstone and would be interested to hear from other Kentish people to share some of our old haunts :smile: Mark.
