Dave,

I'm considering a move to Medway because it is cheap.
of corse itscheap.its the arse end of england it says so on the sing
posts when you get there


Nah, you've obviously not been to Thanet


In Medway, avoid the Luton area like the plague. Even the 'near' end of
Luton Road (where Maplin is) is a bit dodgy. I used to park behind Maplin
when I went there, and someone was murdered there...although I think his
card had been marked.

Also Parkwood (on the way to Gillingham), as that's Chav central. Also
the Brompton area. And nowhere in Strood. And the area around the Delce
Road (parallel with the A229 City Way).

(this from SWMBO, who's worked in various parts of Medway for 25 years).
And taught kids from these parts...





Does it have to be Medway?

The Charing X - Hastings line is pretty civilised and gives you a choice of
Sevenoaks, Tonbridge (OK if you don't actually live anywhere near the
station) T Wells, and all the random places south of there.
