Post subject:  Are people from Kent human?
currently trying to gather info on an english place called Kent which is a scottish word meaning "understood"

all the ebay items I have bought from Kent I get bad communication and they seem "off" Ive asked some English what the people of Kent are like and they say its a semi nice place let down by its stuck up horrible people. What's this forums opinion on this place? need to know so I know for certain to avoid this town or city. dunno what it is but so far it sounds like the water supply is contaminated :cry:

I find Kent relatively easy to avoid. Yorkshire can be a slippery bugger though, and I don't know if it's just me, but Norfolk just seems to spring out from nowhere when I'm least expecting it.

The answer to your question Bratty, is no.

HK will back me.

Bratty, I would strongly recommend avoiding anywhere in foreign England. For all our sakes. :|:

How is that possible? You have to be heading there to be there. You can't exactly go through it enroute.

We suffer from being too close to London and France. The Romans came, saw and conquered through Kent. Watling Street (parts of which are now known as the A2) is Roman in origin, heads to London from Dover via Canterbury, crosses the Thames and heads off to Holyhead. We built much of Nelson's Royal Navy (HMS Victory is one of ours, built at Chatham Dockyard). The Luftwaffe gave us a fair old pasting in 1940, and again with the V1s.

According to the Wikis:

Wikipedia wrote:
The modern name of Kent is derived from the Brythonic word Cantus meaning "rim" or "border". This describes the eastern part of the current county area as a border land or coastal district. Julius Caesar had described the area as Cantium, or home of the Cantiaci in 51 BC.


Traditionally, Kent has been known as the Garden of England. This was because the county's economy was mostly rural and the place was stuffed with farms providing all kinds of produce - hops, apples, strawberries and plenty more. While there is still a fair amount of that rural Kent about (ten minutes from where I live - between Maidstone and Chatham - and I'm out in proper farmland), we have our fair share of motorways and railways. We have High Speed 1 linking the Channel Tunnel with London, and the M2 and M20 pave over large chunks of landscape heading for the Channel Ports.

There's a lot of nice about Kent, and a lot of bad. The area known as Thanet, for example, is one of the most deprived in the UK. Perhaps Bratty's eBay sellers come from the dodgier parts. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

not likely, hitler always craved an alliance with UK as he loved "britain" according to historians and all my weird books, he attacked it but probably only enough to "subdue" them not to totally annihaliate, hard to explain :cry:

one of my 1933 books which doesnt make sense before ww2, and it has pics of hitler and hes referred to as "herr hitler of germany" plus the book is called "the first world war" which books before ww2 never referred to it as that, creepy :(

Brataccas, be careful now. I don't want to have to start swinging the Banhammer again.
