In Gillingham are they Kentish men or Men of Kent?

Bunch of Kents?

How very quaint.
And did you have an outdoor lav too?

One house yep. Though it was the spare as we had one inside.

The other house the neighbour had an outdoor lav but ours was inside.

Both houses were Victorian horrible draughty things and the council gave my parents grants to do various things to stop them falling down.

As a kid we use to eat corn beef with pasta or rice. It was made up in a tomato sauce.

I never ate it in sandwiches because most of the time I ate jam or marmalade sandwiches. Then occasionally crisp sandwiches and also tomato ketchup sandwiches.

I'm not making any points. Apart from that Sue Ellen has been revealed as a champagne socialist. "Sue Ellen" represents Barratt Home culture. She never even had to force down a corned beef and onion sarnie. Toasted because the bread was stale. She never had the jelly off the corned beef as a "treat". She never cut her hand opening a tin of Princes because the key snapped off and it had to be opened with a knife. Corned beef- the meat of the working class.

I was off-line because I was out with real people.

Oh and I'm not a socialist I'm liberal hence I prefer to drink beer.

In general, they're referred to as "men of caves".

[OwlHoot]

There are parts of Kent that he would simply want to die (and that's if he got offered the choice) if he was ever brave or stupid enough to visit. Gillingham being a prime example...

You haven't spent much time in Kent?

Do not go there if you are not in a position to convince the locals you have a history of being local that goes back less than 600 years. Your family tree and your in-laws family tree should be completely identical. Any discrepancies, and you're dead.

Ooh you are awful.

I know

[Fronttoback]

Really?

Ooh you are awful.

I bet the working class wouldn't be so enamoured of it if they knew that most of it came from South America, in particular those Falkland invading bastard Argies

It's cheap and that is the point.

Really?

[Fronttoback]

The thing is of course we agree, your above points are actually very accurate .

The Mrs and I don't eat hardly any processed food.
However we make our own comfort food whether it be fish fritters, sausage rolls, biscuits etc.

I kept seeing this 'Gregs' mentioned here so last time I was in the UK I had to go. **** me it was tulip

[northernladyuk]

It is, but there are trams, I love trams....

I'm a Northerner anyway, all Southerners are soft coonts, I'm not scared....

[Mordac]

What a blinding idea! Never thought of that.

I normally use mince or tuna, but next time I'll try the corned beef (a whole tin)

Just as long as it's not Argie corned beef. We haven't forgotten the Falklands or that cheating Dago Maradona in 86.
