[Hill Wimp]

Maid of Kent and made in Kent too



Born and bred in Deal then fled around the globe landed in Tunbrisge Wells now back in Deal and loving it.

 

[Apollonius]

Born in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, overlooking the Lawrence Ground. Still a fan of Kent cricket. I can trace my family back to Shakespeare's day, and they all came from a tiny place called Hoath near Sturry.
Father in the Army meant I moved around a lot so lived in Suffolk as a kid. Now a Midlander.

I was born at the top of Shooters Hill, Woolwich but could see Kent if the curtains were open..

No.1 daughter is a Maid of Kent having been born to the east of the Wantsum Channel. Probably TMI but she was conceived after a visit to the Jazz Club at Plucks Gutter and continued to hear 'live jazz' for the following 9 months prior to her birth in Margit..

I remember childhood days playing along the river at Plucks Gutter.

Must return and see if its still as nice.

The Dog and Duck was the home of the Jazz Club..
I used to marshall at the Banger Racing there as well

[Arthur]

A Man of Kent - Gillingham born and inbred.

 

[ianrauk]

I was born about as far away from Kent as it is possible to get without going into space...

Norwich

 

[ianrauk]

Having lived in Norwich, I do wonder whether Norfolk and Kent are actually two halves of the same county...

I used to really like you Reggie...

Of course, the Men of Kent were the only chaps to put up any kind of serious resistance to the William the Thieving Git fellow, with an average score of one Man of Kent killed for every 268 foreign Johnnies they slaughtered.






























PS, I may have the figures slightly wrong...

I guess it was me who triggered it - a lapsed Man of Kent. As we all know, far better than the cowardly Kentish Men.

Being a Kentish Man being born North and West of the Medway - I would like to point out that the Romans in there writings considered that the Kentish Men were much more civilised than the Men of Kent.

I least I didn't say you were like the miserable b'stards from Yorkshite...

As my darling wife likes to say
"I speak as I find."
"Oh, really, I was taught manners."
She was born in Brighton, so isn't allowed in this thread though.
