I don't get coffee or even water at important meetings even if they are arranged in the lunch hour (whatever that is !) ........but it is the NHS so I should consider myself lucky to sit down let alone think of eating uninterrupted - but that's a different story!! What is skirlie??????? :coffee:

i've been in 2 minds about this one - having picked it up a couple of times and put it back! Perhaps anyone -else has read and enjoyed it before I commit to buy? :read:

ours tonite was rather simple - genuine homemade Cornish pasties. Delicious.

For me it was always James Herbert - especially The Fog, and (I forget it's title) the one about spiders! Having an inborne absolute fear of these nasty creatures, it scared the c**p out of me, I could never read that one again

Yes - on Senlac Hill! That's all that most people do - hardly anyone stops here - -some though do catch up with wartime memories, which is understandable. Except the asylum seekers - there's lots of those! The town is mainly dependant on the Port of Dover, Hoverspeed (probably going soon0 and the nearby equally struggling Eurotunnel. Having said that I couldn't live inland - there is something about living by the sea

I have lived in 2 of the most famous towns in English history. I originally come from Hatings - the town where English history was to be changed forever! Infact the Battle of Hastings actually happened about 8 miles away in the village of Battle, on the site of Battle Abbey where Harold is meant to have been slain. Hastings is now a bustling and spawling tourist town. It has a really quaint Old Town with houses at least 500-600 years old. It also boasts one of the largest fishing fleets and is still managing to survive -just. As a child my parents used to buy their fish as it was landed - a custom which I have upheld to this day wherever I live or holiday. Once I got married I moved to a village near Dover -rolling White Cliffs (well really greyish), about 50 miles away. The Port is one of the busiest in the world - we are frquently gridlocked with lorries trying to get to the continant - especially when the French are on strike for one thing or another! (& that can be often!). We are however, blessed with lots of countryside around us which is great for walking and clearing the lungs.
