I now live in Kent, am going to have a cup of tea and then pop to the end of the lane, where a footpath starts through fields, for a walk

As a Londoner, I can only reply that thou art a knave, Jason: a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition!

You can learn a lot from Lord Byron

I now live in Kent, am going to have a cup of tea and then pop to the end of the lane, where a footpath starts through fields, for a walk How delightful that sounds - I envy your position! When I left Britain I tipped about twenty OS maps, with all the footpaths delineated. Sometimes though when following them (mostly around Leamington) I would find myself in an impenetrable thicket, or - worse - in some one's back garden among the vegetables.

Thank you very much for the invitation, although on this particular occasion, I cannot make it down to Kent this afternoon. As it happens, I slightly know a German called Silke Tetzlaff in Staplehurst (she is the vicar), so if you happen to see her, pass on my regards, Jason! Staplehurst VillagePerhaps we ought to organise a debate with Silke at the King's Head about the relevance of religion to village life in the twenty-first century? Trip Advisor - King's Head, Staplehurst, Kent

I am a pagan so will try avoid her otherwise she will have me burnt at the stake, had fun at the tea shop lastnight, lovely people, met some property developers who told me you make the profit when you buy, can take months to find the right property.
Also met some people who moved here from essex, interesting place kent, nobody appears to be from kent, they just come here, I wonder where the natives went, australia I suppose ?

Interestingly, the venerable Bede claimed that the people of Kent, at least during the Dark Ages, were Jutes, presumably from Jutland (western Denmark). The evidence seems to be that many of the Romano-Britons who lived in south-east England before their colonisation, abandoned their luxurious villas and fled to France! English Heritage - Lullingstone Roman VillaOf course, it is true that people from Kent, and the rest of the British Isles, have subsequently emigrated all over the world, and the growth of the British Empire certainly gave our ancestors plenty of opportunities abroad. I have relatives living all over the Commonwealth, although I don't think any branch of my family has spent much time in Kent. Kent Family History SocietyThe social dynamics of rural communites are very different from big cities like London. If in any doubt, read ' Mansfield Park' by Jane Austen! To an extent, everyone knows your business, so to speak! I hope that you enjoy village life, Jason, although be careful. It is not for everyone! Wikipedia - Mansfield Park

I have learnt that the posh people are ok, the rest are morons. Interestingly enough it is the middle classes who are starting to annoy me more than the chavy lot who have a lovely habit of identifying themselves as stupid by dressing strangely, having tats and such things. The middle class lot do not believe in class, one told me 'we are all the same here, what you got does not make much difference', however, a few local super rich city types invited me around for drinks and they are nice, smart, have good libraries. Essentially, I think, we need to shoot all the people I do not like
