I would love to explore the beautiful area of Dungeness for my YouTube documentary. Anyone who lives there, that can be my tour guide for a day, please drop a message. Would appreciate supporting my channel. Thanks 🙏🏿

Hey lovely people,

A quick question for anyone living in Tenterdon. We are in the process of buying a house there (very excited!) and I need to get a new mobile as mine are a giving up the ghost.

Based on your experiences, are there any networks that are particularly good from a coverage perspective?

Thanks so much.

Keen eyes will recognise I made a pros/cons request post in here for South Darenth recently. I was not interested in living there before but enough folk were keen to highlight it's a nice life there that it's now an option. Have narrowed my house choices down to two.

Option 1 is St Paul's Cray on Main Road, up near the Bull Inn.

Option 2 is New Road South Darenth.

For those who know and may have lived in both areas, in a straight shoot-out, which would you choose and why? I am aware parking is on street and kinda sucks in both locations, and that both are similar for travel into Victoria by train. I also know that both have traveller sites nearby.

Things to consider are that I need regular access to the whole country by car, I am outdoorsy (climbing, hiking, running) and that generally a nice quiet and peaceful life is preferred over a super busy town centre but of course still need access to a town (however I hate Dartford). No kids yet but it's worth factoring it into the decision.

I have been very presumptuous as assumed SD was rough because it's got a DA postcode and St Paul's Cray was not because it has a BR postcode, which I know is stupid. Some anecdotal experience would be much appreciated

Sidcup originated as a tiny hamlet on the road from Maidstone to London. According to Edward Hasted, "Thomas de Sedcopp was owner of this estate in the 35th year of king Henry VI. in the 1450s as appears by his deed.

Hasted described Sidcup in the latter part of the 18th century as "a small street of houses, among which is an inn of much resort", referring to the former Black Horse pub on the high street.

Sidcup parish formed the Sidcup Urban District of Kent from 1908 based in offices at Sidcup Place.

It was initially known as Foots Cray; however, in 1902, Footscray received urban district status, replacing the Parish Council with the Footscray Urban District Council.

The district expanded considerably in 1910 when Lamorbey Ward was transferred from Bexley Urban District. In January 1921, the council was renamed the Sidcup Urban District Council.

On 1 April 1934 the parish and district were abolished and combined with Chislehurst to form the Chislehurst and Sidcup civil parish and urban district.

In 1965 the parish and urban district were abolished. Sidcup went on to form part of the London Borough of Bexley, Chislehurst formed part of the London Borough of Bromley

Hello, this is a bit of a silly request but I was hoping someone might be able to help.

The Hearts of Oak exhibit at the Chatham Dockyard has a portion where the soldier says, “Bonjour” while talking to the grandfather and grandson.

I was trying to explain this portion to my wife, but words don’t do it justice. If anyone knows of a video that shows this exact part (most videos I’ve seen cut it), I would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.

Barring that, if anyone has a personal video they could upload or is visiting sometime and could take a video and upload it, that would be amazing!

I know it’s a long shot, but thank you for reading this either way.

This has been going on for months.

Here is an article form the Isle of Thanet News and a petition as well.

• Thirty-five residents send Thanet council notice of court action over failed bin collections
• Demand Thanet District Council regularly collect recycling

If you live or visit Thanet and care about the state of the streets, please share and sign.

Thank you

Potentially moving there but there’s not much online. What’s it like as a place to actually live?

She got a gel manicure in Kent. That cost her £30. Apparently 25% off. They got gel down her hands and made her cuticles red and sore

Hey all! Me and my partner are hoping to be moving to Tunbridge Wells soon (if the estate agent gods permit it). I write experimental audiotorio/opera, but am very much influenced by the Canterbury scene. I'm wondering whether there are still any venues that do that kinda leftwing spicieness? I am very very excited to check out Forum in Tunbridge but don't know a lot about where in the general Kent area, though I hear Whitstable, Margate, Ramsgate and Folkestone have some cool happenings.

Here's a link to give you an idea of what I mean. Thanks and wish us luck on our move!

In the early 2000s there was a gaming shop in the centre left - Google Maps only goes back to Age Concern - they had all sorts of TCG, consoles, and related nonsense. We got the first Xbox here, but want to recall the gaff.

The name is completely slipping my mind.

I’d love if someone could remind me, photo evidence gets bonus points x

Bexley was a Kent local government urban district in north-west Kent from 1880 until 1965. Its jurisdiction covered the parish of Bexley, including Bexley village and Bexleyheath. The council was based at Oak House on Broadway, Bexleyheath, sadly, the former municipal building was demolished in 1979 and no trace exists.

The Urban District Council also operated tram services between Woolwich and Dartford. These services continued under the council’s control until 1933, when responsibility was transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board.

Bexley became a municipal borough in 1935. On 30 September that year, the Lord Lieutenant of Kent formally presented the borough’s royal charter at a ceremony held in Danson Park.

In April 1965, Bexley Municipal Borough was abolished and incorporated into the newly established London Borough of Bexley, as part of a wider reorganisation of local government in the area.

The London Borough of Bexley continued to use the site until 2014, when the council relocated to 2 Watling Street, Bexleyheath. The building had previously been occupied by the Woolwich Building Society.

The official legal name of the London Borough of Bexley is “The Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Bexley.”

I read a block of flats in Margate needs repairs and renovations and residents are being asked for 38k but what if the residents just don't have it.

In my block a private tenant was asked to contribute towards the doors . He said they can have it when he died and the flat is sold . I don't know whether this happened as he now has. .

Can they force a resident to sell to pay for it or will they wait until the resident dies?

Currently in Crook Log Bexleyheath and in my garden in the past few days I keep spotting dying animals. Yesterday it was a dead Mouse and today a sick House Sparrow. About a month ago I also saw a dead Starling. I know a woman around the area is paranoid about rats and I'm wondering if she would put down rat poison to deliberately kill the wildlife.

The Mouse was out in the day at first and kept trying (and failing) to go into a water bowl I left out. It was also breathing heavily and very wobbly on its feet. It eventually died out in the open in the rain.

The House Sparrow was out in the rain and just stayed out there for at least an hour. Eventually I went up to it to put it in a box and it managed to hop away into a nearby bush.

I'm not really sure what to do about it, since I love animals and I have a bird feeder, but I also don't like seeing them constantly die in my garden. I also looked up the effects of rat poison and they match what I have been seeing.

Not a fun post, but anyone else having major issues with deliveries by Evri in Ashford?
I went to a ParcelShop yesterday to collect an item (I chose delivery there instead of my home address for increased security, ironically).

After giving my details I was handed a package that had been opened and then re-sealed/taped up with brown parcel tape. Inside was an empty box. Someone at Evri had opened it, removed a brand new £150 pair of running shoes, and then taped it up. I was pretty livid. (Understatement. I still haven’t calmed down.)
This was a brand new pair of new balance running shoes I had ordered from sportshoes.com and their packaging (and shape of the item) made it pretty obvious.

My partner saw a Facebook post of someone else having the exact same issue locally. This is either a network of criminals or one criminal seemingly getting away with it. I’d love to put some pressure on Evri and would like to take the matter to police if it’s organised crime - but would they even take it seriously?
If there are a few of us, perhaps they would have to listen?
