Maidstone I remember it well: Very funny account of life in Australia Bernie; you may well end up in Poets Corner when you shuttle off this mortal coil!!.. It's great reading ALL the various memories over many decades of some people, spread far and wide and those still living in Maidstone!! Maybe someone from the Kent Messenger might take a look at all these wonderful thoughts and cobble them together in a weekly section: Perhaps called Maidstone Now and Then!!.. What about it then Peter?? When i lived in Maidstone as a youngster (Yes even i was young once!!)i always felt safe wherever i went and folks "looked out" for their neighbours, including some of the Big Employees like The M&D, Sharps and Tilling and Stevens (and many more)!! To Mr Cameron and co: That was the "Big Society" he now craves for!!.. Like many political groups around the world he should look back to go forward!! The "Bankers" (think i spelt that right!!)have done more damage to this lovely country of ours than Hitler and Thatcher ever did and that is saying something!!.. My late father Mac McKenna (former Mayor of Maidstone 1983/4) would be appalled at the cutbacks on public services that ALL the country is now going through. When is it all going to end?? I want to take this opportunity to wish EVERYONE a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year: Family and friends too. And lastly well done to Peter for this lovely site. See you all next year, God willing.
Are you sure you were young once Terry lol Have a great Christmas my friend. Pete
