Alors, comme un homme de Kent (pas un homme Kentais), il faut vous dire que je n'ai pas vu aucun manifestation d'introduction de la "cafe culture" francaise ici en Milton Regis. Existe toujours ici notre "pikey culture". So if they catch me talking froggy, I'm going to get duffed up! Zuts alors!

Ribbit, ribbit!

Hey Kevin, there's plenty of 'Cafe Culture' here in Maidstone (1066 and all that). I was given to understand it's more 'Agriculture' in Milton Regis.

It should be remembered that the article we are discussing here appeared in the Daily Mail, a newspaper for those who like to moan about things, so at best it is probably exaggerated.

I looked at a copy of this journal the other day and once you got pass the news bit there was a gripe on every page, these people should go and live in the 1940's, they might be happy there, (but I don't expect that would be good enough either)

I come from north of the Thames so Kent was always a foreign country, big deal.

We English barrack each other when we tire of lambasting the French, the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish (if that is PC these days) and damn Yankees. With apologies to those I left out like Texas and Belgium.

Actually, John, it's probably less "agriculture" and more "aggro-culture"!

No doubt I'll see you soon amidst the sophisticates of Maidstone!
