Comments:Paul Noakes doesn't mention the official name of the 'Prisoner of War Camp' at Wrotham Road. Apparently some of those young German soldiers had better command of the English language than local farm workers. Camp 629 was the Broom Cottage Camp at Mereworth Woods, Seven Mile Lane.

Comments:There has been some discussion about whether it was actually a POW camp, or a camp for foreign nationals trapped here when war was declared - I suppose the local perception would have been the same - workers on farms who were from the "enemy" countries.

Comments:Re : Former POW Italian Labour Camp 629, Wrotham Road. I see that Paul Noakes has submitted a comment at BG Photos site Chat Page, about the above. Wrotham resident Paul was older than myself, and I remember him (just!) attending BG Primary School. I think he passed his 11-plus exam. I commenced attending Wrotham Secondary School during the 1952-53 school year - in the former POW Camp southeast building (in Miss Bailey's 2a class). Several vaguely remember, and hearing about, Italian and German prisoners working at local farms. It was said the Italians would sit around smoking, and the Germans, many in their teens, were hard working and quite scared. PS. Coincidence! Al Fuller mentioned buttons. His dad Alf had some of those prisoners working under his supervision at a local farm. I think he gave up with the Italians! For a while, I was also a lowly farm worker!

Comments:I do have some freshly minted Independent Alliance buttons, in a tasteful green, featuring our green countryside logo, but for the discerning collector I also have a small stock of vintage "Gagged by TMBC" buttons , designed by Plaxtol College of Fine Arts Professor Emeritus Dave Sutton, but these may be beyond the reach of lowly local farm workers. The run-up to the election on May 4th has been somewhat eased by Conservatives at TMBC and Westminster busy drilling holes in their own leaky boat - all the hard work is being done for us.....

Comments:I'm seeing more and more polls - reading more and more about what Yanks think of our Royal Family. Who cares what Yanks think. Why don't they concentrate on their royalty - like the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Ellen Degeneres, etc. And National Rifle Association members Ted Nugent, Chuck Norris, Tom Selleck, Whoopi Goldberg, James Earl Jones, to name but a few. I'm sick of our 'special relationship' with the Yanks - Irish American Democrats have always been against us. However, well done in keeping up this most excellant website Mike. You're still the greatest!

Mum reminded her about exposing her knickers of which she replied, "No Mum, Stephen was not seeing my knickers." "How come?", said her Mum. "Because I took them off Mum." she replied.

Most have powerful motors with multiple speeds, different patterns, are customisable, or can be utilized with an app - some will even vibrate to the beat of your favourite song. Swiftly becoming known as a notable Borough Green resident, I'm sure Welsh Wizard Fred is linked with the beats of "Cwim Rhonnda." Way to go Fred - We are oh, so proud of you!!

With the climate change, I've heard that Rex's Kentish ragstone shed has dried somewhat. In the past, I heard that sitting against one of his damp, cold walls made visiting BH's backache worse. Even slowed him up on the cricket pitch later in his career, while representing the BG Veterans XI. He had to have his back massaged following every over, and when the players left the pitch he was transported on a wheelbarrow. Well, cheerio for now Peter. Elaine.

It was contested during playtimes over a period of one and a half weeks. The two eventual winners were Stephen Russell and Robin Hodges. They had selected special trees into which they hurtled sticks to bring down their nuts. Stephen's were close to where his father market-gardened, by Basted House - and Robin's were just off of a lane at the other side of Oldbury, in the direction of Stone Street (he lived in Ightham). Prior to the tournament commencing, Robin and Stephen cycled to Meopham to practice there together. They said it was to breathe in the air of John Tradescant the Younger's birthplace - he had been responsible for the introduction of the horse chestnut tree to our Isles in 1633. Robin and Stephen were serious about their sport. There was controversy that Stephen's conkers were pickled with a mixture of malt, apple cider and Balsamic vinegars

However, Roger's semi-final opponent, did not turn up for the final to meet Steve. 'No one' seems to know if Steve carried off the winner's trophy in a 'walk-over.' What happened Steve?

Comments:The Government Local Boundary Commission is requiring updates to polling ward boundaries to ensure population growth doesn't affect the average number of voters in each constituency/ward. Very laudable and democratic. But the local conservative party executive have instructed TMBC to reduce councilor numbers from 53 to 46, ostensibly to save money. But at £5k per councillor, that saves at most £50k, small change compared to TMBC's £60M budget. By judiciously adjusting ward boundaries they can ensure that Independent and Lib Dem wards suffer the most cuts, and they hope to reduce BGLM to a single seat, and put adjacent Indy parishes into Conservative stronghold wards. It will also release Tory financial resources and candidates to blanket remaining Opposition wards. It will probably backfire spectacularly, because people do not like being manipulated by politicians. We have made our own submissions, pointing out that the savings are minimal, but there will be a huge impact on representation Torys are members of TMBC, we represent the people AT TMBC

Activists in the audience were newly inspired, and men at the result – sundry of whom had never viewed pornography as a problem first – queued up afterwards to guarantee their support. The mise en scene highlighted Dines's explosive charisma and the factually that, since the death of Andrea Dworkin, she has risen to that most difficult and spellbinding of public roles: the community's cardinal anti-pornography campaigner.

The fact is if leaves and mud etc gets into the drains it will cause a blockage thus floods and we are the rate payers who pay for this service. totally irresponsible of those in charge of our services But wait and see them give them self's a pay rise in the very near future. that's all folks .

Some of these habits - say, pretentious vocabulary - aren't likely to protect one's health. Others - working out - will definitely have a positive impact. Indeed, it has apparently been shown that poor people living near Tugger Tom exercise more, smoke less, and are less likely to suffer from obesity. I'm approaching obesity, my neighbours are poor and I don't think they would fancy a diet of West Malling baby spinach, Wrotham cheese and Beirut peacock. They could do with some of Tugger's money though.

Jake admitted to pigging out on Glaswegian fried Mars bars - saying they were "absolutely delicious...glad to see there's something with which I agree with the Scottish National Party." Tugger trimmed one and a half centimetres from his waist during 2020, in his bid to show that rich Tories are doing their bit to reduce levels of obesity. Gavin Rees-Mogg forecasts there are going to be changes made, if/when Tugger becomes PM.

During 1958, I wrote that down in my diary, supposing that one day I would find out what it meant - especially when seeing how successfull an operator Steve was with them. Well, I'm getting closer - apparently Barry was referring to their uppertail coverts. I might start a correspondence course about it in January.

Comments:You might think that people search for jokes more often when they are sad. Many of history's greatest thinkers have claimed that we turn to humour as a release from pain. Humour has long been thought of as a way to cope with the frustrations, the pain, the inevitable disappointments of life. As Charlie Chaplin put it, "Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease from pain." --- However, searches for jokes are lowest on Mondays, the day when people report they are most unhappy. They are lowest on cloudy and rainy days. And they plummet after a major tragedy, such as when two bombs killed three and injured hundreds during the 2013 Boston Marathon. People are actually more likely to seek out jokes when things are going well in life than when they aren't.

Or we let gays marry but not own homes - come out against gay mortgage." He said, "With both sides so set - one being all for gay marriage, and the other side being completely against it - how about we just let lesbians marry? It's a woman's thing anyway." He continued, "When people talk about homosexuality being 'not natural' and 'an abomination', they're not talking about women - they're talking about the men." His opinion gradually used to change.

Comments:Arguably Miss Griffin's favourite boy pupil (1949-50 school year) was Ross Layberry of Tollgate Estate. Often naughty Ross, always escaped punishment by correctly answering Miss Griffin's difficult questions. Arguably again, Miss Griffin's favourite girl pupil that year was Heather Crowhurst from Wrotham. Heather later became 'Reception Class' teacher [previously, Infant's teacher?] at BGPS... A few years later, Roger Pettet and another boy were taken by Miss Griffin to see 'Hans Christian Andersen' (Danny Kaye), at the Rex Cinema. Roger lived in 'The Fort' - the next house to Heather in Wrotham... Do any other former pupils remember Miss Griffin? You might have been in her class when you took the 11-plus exam.

And this happened in 2016... A title such as "Revolting Footage Shows Chinese Woman Eating a Whole Bat at a Fancy Restaurant as Scientists Link the Deadly Coronavirus to the Flying Mammals" (Thomson 2020) - which is exactly what 'Daily Mail' titled their story - is not totally false. But it's not even true.... The 'Guardian', in response to this way of presenting things, suggests going to YouTube and looking for videos of Westerners who feed on black pudding. You can find many such videos, but nowhere will you f

"The film 'Team America : World Police' (2004) featured graphic sex scenes between marionettes. If I had any interest in wooden sex with strings attached, I'd have got married. NO puppet nooky, PLEASE!"

Comments:Hello, Mr. Stephen Russell : I get the impression you are still a kind, considerate man - staying out of mischief! - and would not mention having a [made-up] headache when spurning romance. Hugs and nooky can ease the pain of a [genuine] headache. Like chocolate, hugs boost levels of serotonin, along with the hormones dopamine and oxytocin, all of which feed into our general sense of wellbeing. Nooky does this too but on a much grander scale. So when you have had a bad day with a niggling headache, self-medicate by wrapping yourself around a special loved one. Also, remember all those good times at Borough Green Invicta Youth Club!

Comments:During my 1954/55 arrival to Western Road, from Manchester, my neighbour and friend was Stephen Russell. His surname is not strictly Russell - Rissole is his correct name. Via French origin, it is from russeolus - Latin for rissole. On leaving Wrotham Secondary School he joined the Navy. One of his favourite aunts, from Ivy Hatch, expected him to become Rear Admiral Russell - however, that was not to be. After a comparatively brief time, all were happy when he returned to Boro' Green. During his mid-teens plus, his steady girlfriends were Margaret M. from Kemsing Road, Wrotham and Carol B. from Wrotham. They were understandably, very proud of him.

It was some time before she realized Mr. Raymond couldn't read or write, so didn't cotton on to much in those days. Plus the fact for the last part of it, she had dreadful morning sickness - hiding that from all was a mission. In Borough Green and West Malling, I had never heard anything like that mentioned about Mr. Raymond. Jean said she hadn't told anyone else about this.

Comments:During the late 1950's, I got my hair cut in a converted part of Manchester House in BG High St. It was named 'Raymond's', and run by 'Mr. Raymond' (a Mr. Bligh). Sandra Cripps, from Wrotham, cut men's hair and was alluring and popular. Men were also happy to see pretty Nona Judge, one of the ladies hairdressers. Nona had lived with her mum above Mr. F. J. Clark's grocery shop at No. 35 BG High St. At about this time, Mr. Raymond opened a hairdressers in West Malling High St. I believe Nona worked there for a while - does anyone know about this? The receptionist there during 1965 informed me that Mr. Raymond couldn't read or write. During the late sixties, David Bance had the Gent's section at the Raymond's, Manchester House, BG High St., location. Do you know if he was related to Peter Bance, Mike?

Comments:While occasionally chummy with lower classes, does Tom Tugendhat with the tweaks to his diminishing upper lip; grins/frowns and gait adjustment; give you the impression he is trying to look like an East Ashford, Willesborough window cleaner, from near where he grew up in the sleepy village of Sellindge? He has been known to hang around the Chatham area to take in the Kentish form of Cockney; so here and there we might hear him slipping in that accent and vocabulary. So doing, he seems to be thinking he can tap into securing the support of disillusioned Labourites. I've heard that his big admirer, fellow-toff Jacob Rees-Mogg, is considering a makeover copying Tom's adeptness. Are we about to witness the Frog and Mogg Show?
