there's a pup called the Dickens does a really good seafood platters
and further along that street is a italian ice c ream shop
and if he hasn't got the flavour you want
come back in an hour and he will have it
theres two good second hand book shops
ive bought many books from there

Had a colleague who lived there. Remember it being rather nice and a long way from his roots, which were Peckham. Seemed to be quite a few London retiress living down there.

Loved Ramsgate. Was that where Aunt Betsy Trotwood out of David Copperfield really lived. A rather smart house above the sands where Dickens used to stay as a boy?

the bus from london to ramsgate passed through
i thought i would take a gander

it was small but nice :-D

I reckon you have killed this thread, Lynda. Sure Sealyham was trying to compete for hits with the legendary Bread Bins thread. :-D

So are we talking Birchington-juxta Manston juxta Middlesbrough :-S

Is Kent near Middlesbrough? Must ask C J de Mooi. Or my daughter who teaches geography and thinks Harrogate is in Sussex :-(

when i lived in kent
i sometimes used to shop there a good little cake shop on the main road :-D :-D

Think we had better all own up. :-( :-(

No, none of us are among the 9,800 burgers of Birchington juxta Manston :-( :-(

Can we still join in on your thread? :-S

Isn't that Manston? My Dad said that it had such a long runway that Concord could land in it if needed. ;-)

KCC are quiet keen to promote Manston as the site for London's 3rd runway - even better if they were to extend HS1 and join it in to Eurostar.

Poor sealyham will wonder what s/he has started!

It is quite near France :-D And a possible site for third runway.

Birchington-on-Sea is a village in northeast Kent, England, with a population of around 9,800. (Wikipedia). Don't know all 9,800 that well.

Its got a good fish and chip shop ;-)

I have been there once - very smart, I seem to remember Who have you lost? :-S

Hi is there anyone out there who lives in Birchington on sea Kent ?
