Comments:	Mike : My young brother gets quite upset at times, that Adrian doesn't extend a Good Morning greeting to you. He mentions that in parts of Eastern Continental Europe, they add 'How did you sleep.' Perhaps you could add same at times, and see what happens?

Comments:	A previous disappointment : "Who was Mary's Family." The detective story involving Mary Gardiner Copp, created enormous local interest for a while. [photos taken during 1942] I vaguely remember, we were finally informed that the house where Mary worked was in Crouch Lane. All the thinking we put into it, we were hardly the wiser. Mike's interesting websites, are still among the very best I have found, however! You are still the greatest, Big Guy!!

Comments:	Alan : Was that : "pass on" OR : "pass" on? Surprisingly, [to myself] I do not have a hint of a clue about this. I've known quite a few others with those Christian names, in the BG area. And a few other Russells. I'm struggling immensely to remember a Margetts, I'll have to sleep on it. For many this is an enormously, interesting puzzle about "Mitch" and his parents, and the Margetts. I have this feeling, we will not find out. Sort of sad, really. Best of luck in your quest!

Comments:	Hi Mike Hope you don’t mind me leaving a message here but I am searching for someone and I thought you or your visitors might be able to help me? I’m am trying to find Michael ‘Mitch’ Russell who was a family friend. He lived in Long Mill Lane, Platt in the early 70’s with his parents Ron and Vera Russell. He then worked at Arcontrol. He’s about 63 now. I don’t think he moved far (Ightham or Plaxtol maybe)? If anyone knows him my email is above and hopefully they might be able to pass on my details! Many thanks Alan

Comments:	"The Things One Hears." I've heard that the immigrants from London [England], who never submit a comment, spend much of their spare time producing hits for the BG PC website. And Adrian is supposedly keeping up the hit rates for BG News and BG Community sites. BG certainly doesn't lack excitement. I love BG. It was also mentioned that a few years ago, when GS was looking remarkably young and healthy - he suddenly stopped eating an apple a day. It had been keeping his favourite lady doctor away. What an operator, that guy!

Comments:	From the Mid Kent News/1959. A reader writes : During recent very bad weather, a grey and white kitten/young cat was exploring the outside world on an early spring day in Basted. During his wanderings, this curious feline decided to check out ice on the nearby River Bourne/Basted Mill Pond. Unfortunately, he ended up on an ice floe and found himself too far from the safety of the Odham's Press premises. Luckily, workers saw the cat and called the 'in house' Odham's rescue service crew who were able to reach the feline using ladders attached to inflated van inner tubes. The frightened feline was taken to the Odham's animal shelter for immediate care. He had an ear tattoo, so it wasn't long before he was reunited with his grateful owners - sisters Doris and Kath Carter. It had been quick thinking, because the boat and boat house at the south east corner of the mill pond were undergoing repair/s. WELL DONE, Odham's workers!!

Comments:	I'm very surprised. There is much more interest in this, than I thought there would be!! That undefeated Platt Reserves FC, Division 3 season, was 1958-59. Three other outstanding players for the team, were : Eddie Maynard, Harry Hawkes, and Tom Whimsett Jnr. Tom Whimsett Snr., was Medic. Bill Webb Snr's dog, was mascot. I have forgotten his name at the moment. But he never missed a home game, and tried to participate at times. He never ever, did his business at King George's Field. And there was a photo of him, hanging at Platt Memorial Hall.

We went undefeated one season, in the Sevenoaks & Dist. Lge., Division 3; during the mid to late 1950's. The legendary Tommy Marmont, was playing in goal.

Comments:	My brother Steve still has a brilliant brain. Even more so. He's been resting it for 9 and a half years - it will be in tip top prime condition come springtime. Unfortunately, those less intellectual compilers of that Famous BG Person's List were unaware of that. Steve's hatters are currently building a winter version for his enlarged brain. As the brain is mostly made up of fat, he is highly delighted when people call him Fathead. But at the same time, he is extremely modest about this. Talking about springtime, does anyone know how my former sweetheart Rosemary is doing? Thank you!

If people's faults were written on their foreheads, Barber extraordinaire Sweeney Furminger of "Winifrith," No. 39 Western Rd., would be bankrupt and long hair would always be in fashion. Does Steve still have a fantastic brain? I do not see his name on the list of notable/famous BG residents.

Comments:	"The gloves are off, Adrian." I've heard that, as a bare knuckle boxer on the primary school playground, Adrian could more than adequately look after himself. Or maybe this is crafty promotional work to bolster Adrian's image/prowess, as someone still to be feared. When I got pushed into a fight on the school playground, and kids started shouting " 'Sa fight, 'sa fight' " I was into a real uphill battle, and generally on my way to a bloodied nose/black eye defeat. May true sportsmanship prevail, during our striving for a great BGGC victory.

No half measures for Steve - indeed a fine young man. And no signs of a beer belly either. I bet he doesn't remember throwing stones at Carol B's Wrotham front door, 30 minutes after closing time.

Or if I will even feel like a drink or 2." You were 'always thirsty' and feeling like MANY a drink or 2. I don't know if you were aware of it, but when you were a patron there, that washroom you used was reserved just for you. Something to tell your grandchildren, and their kids!

Do you remember that evening's performance, following when I'd been treated to a toasted baked bean sandwich in Wally's Café? And unbeknownst to me, Barry Pilkington Slater had concealed an Ex-Lax tablet in it? That performance was my most professional, highly-skilled modification to our act ever. The odds must have been 3,500 to 1 against us, at least, that our performance that evening would be a faultless world class plus. The concentration I needed was unbelievable. Looking back, that was my most proud evening during our career. And if Barry had owned up to planting that tablet, we would probably have received MBE's.

And football for BGPS., Wrotham Sec. Mod., Invicta Y.C., Boro' Green and Platt. Member of BG Wolf Cubs and Scouts. Must have set a record for accumulating badges. Quite a few for pool activities - his mum had to extend his trunks, to accommodate them all. Can't understand why he seems to have become 'Silent Steve' nowadays. Just to plug myself a bit, too. Does Steve remember my renditions of Tommy Steele's version of 'Singin' the Blues' and Elvis's 'Teddy Bear?' And also, our party piece of him saying "F*rt Hodges/Hoedoe," and me obliging immediately. Not only myself, but the way that he said that was true talent. We were an ultra-impressive team, with impeccable timing. Tommy Marmont said that Mr. Pastry had wanted us to appear with him on 'The Ed Sullivan, Coast to Coast Show.'

During the mid-1950's there was a Platt gravedigger named Haley Mills. It wasn't common knowledge that he supplied human skulls to several Platt Parish toffs. They became exterior lights - the light being within the skull. Haley drank in the public bar of the Chequers, Crouch. He had customers arrive in the saloon bar. Being seen at cocktail parties, and although his skulls being quite expensive, there became quite a demand for them. They 'all' had to have one of those lit skulls outside of their posh house. It was known by a few, whose skull was at a certain house. Someone had even arranged a guided tour.

Ron Toogood (gk); Harold Crump, Jack Bowen; Johnnie Stanley, Wilf Broadmore, Des Washford; Ron Bennett, George Francis, Bill Green (capt),Ron Gasson, and Andy Anderson. Venue : Ditton Corner. I guess it's partly due to this springtime weather. It seems like only yesterday!

The match was played at the ground of Gravesend & Northfleet FC. Cheers!

Comments:	Formed over 100 years ago, it is currently looking bleak for Boro' Green FC. The secretary and manager are wishing to retire, and with no one to replace them, the club looks about to fold. In the 1949-50 season, BG defeated Eccles by a score of 5 goals to 1, in the Kent Junior Cup Group 'A' Final. The first team from this area of the county, to win this particular cup, since Holmesdale FC in 1899! In the 1960-61 season, the Green won the same trophy, by the same 5-1 score, versus Dover Wanderers. Can anyone mention the player's names, and positions that they played, on that 1960-61 Final winning team? Or anything about the game? Please do your best to respond. Thanks!!

Fifteen firefighters and two trucks were called to a property at Axedale in central Victoria state after reports of a gas leak, the Country Fire Service said. "When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from." said fire Capt. Peter Harkins, adding they could also hear it. And to think, a BGite complained when gentleman GS tucked his napkin into his shirt at the popular Raj Tandoori Restaurant.

Warning : Yokitomo's garlic 'coffee' may taste just like coffee, but the aroma is definitely of garlic. Some say it would be an enormous improvement if GS starts drinking same, and it weakens his existing smell a little.

Only a handful of zoos in the world have George's distant relations held captive. Apart from staying at a safe distance to avoid being overcome by the smell, George would not be considered particularly dangerous. He wouldn't be eating bamboo all day long - just breakfast, noon, and early evening mealtimes. But he is a fast eater.

I'm told that he is chuffed about his looks being favourably mentioned - and thinks one of the best things about getting older, is that there is nothing left to learn the hard way. I wouldn't mind paying a little income tax, but I don't make enough money. Saving my receipts though, in case I get a job and claim a tax refund.

Whilst there may well be political machinations behind the path to war, and granted any soldier keeps his head down, in their hearts they believed that what they are doing is largely a just cause. They may not actually mean to give their lives, but we should honour the fact that their lives have been taken in our defence.

But it was felt important to start something, and 10am leaves time for people to get to their respective church services. Happy to hear suggestions. And it is a secular memorial, to commemorate every one who gave their lives, not just members of any specific religion

If the girls aren't ready to mate, they will often chase the boys away and may bite their tails or scratch their ears. Some are wondering how your life has differed on Planet Zog. Is there any chance that you might be a little less secretive about this? Mike might agree to you having a Planet Zog Section, here at BG News. That would be great - can't wait.

Why or where were the local Cubs, Scouts, Girl, guides, ACF ?

In terms of knowing the nuts and bolts of Council work John would have been streets ahead of anyone else. Before your time Mike, but do you recollect hearing of this?

Social class can bring money problems, especially under the present Government, and the stress of surviving that takes parent's minds off the real issues. And the other big issue is "my boy wouldn't do that, he's an angel"

It's probably good to take children along too - so they can see where they end up, if they choose a life of crime. Come to think of it, that photo would probably qualify to appear in a funny failures section.

I cannot conceive the minds of these people to carry out their attacks on BG, I can see no gain, and why risk public vilification for allying with the crooks at TMBC and developers. I get enough flak from a few pillocks like you, and I am on the same side as the Residents. And further bafflement because these people live here as well, they are c****g in their own nests.

And he is constantly trying to make the village a better place - close down the village hall because of noise, get rid of me, fighting off the ever present threat of a Gatwick Flightpath, and a tireless campaigner on ethical issues (provided they are his ethics). Credit where Credit, is due I always say, and don't forget his contribution to the Potters Mede construction project - he paid for the opening day flowers out of his own pocket.

Comments:	It is very easy for someone to make offensive comments whilst hiding behind a veil of anonymity. Firstly, the issues where I attack the real Autocrats at TMBC or the old Parish Council are issues that I pick up from members of the public, If you know me as well as you claim you know I can't walk 30ft in the High St without being asked for help or advice. That is far nearer to true democracy than the others. As for your allegation that I am being kept by the People of Borough Green, just go back and check the historic records of expense claims by BH and SM. Its all there on the TMBC website, unless they have now had it removed. So, when people vote for me to go, I will, until then you are a minority of perhaps 3. And I will go happy in the knowledge that I have achieved stuff that benefits the people of BG, carping twits cannot take that away from me. Look around you Ozymandias !!

Comments:	The point I am making about the commuters is a valid one - it is their choice to live and work where they like, it is still almost a free country. What I object most strongly to is subsidising their travel. This is a supposed to be a free-wheeling light touch market driven economy that will deliver a cornucopia of riches to us all. Except it doesn't. So they should pay their way, just as I pay for my van and my shoe leather. If any commuters are out there who can come up with a sound reason why the taxpayer should be funding your travel, happy to hear it, and will happily post it at the top of the home page, with an apology if merited

This follows the offensive letter you wrote and left on their cars. I would say there's more than ten of them. Yet, you claim not to behave like an autocrat.

Comments:	Dear Mike, I was horrified to read of the case you reported on Facebook as follows. 'Mike Taylor' 'Interesting Update re Hooligans and Vandals on Bikes. An older woman was blocked from crossing the railway footbridge by 3 of them, she pushed one out of the way, the Police swoop in and arrest HER for assault. If that is the standard of Policing we can expect we are all doomed. Our only hope is that responsible parents reading this keep their kids off the streets, out of the clutches of these gangs, before a really serious crime happens, and the Police are forced to take some action. Kids who are not inherently bad tend to get caught up in the excitement of it all, but it is always them who end up in Juvenile Detention, not the bad ones that egg them on.' Did this happen in Borough Green? If so could you demonstrate your usual public spirit as Parish Council Chairman by helping us fight this injustice on behalf of the lady concerned? If it happened elsewhere could you please furn

TMBC is autocratic, where the way to vote is passed down to councillors, and a Cabinet decision is unchallengeable. In BG, the Chairman can be removed at any meeting by a majority vote, and any group of 10 residents can call a Parish Poll at anytime, which is now binding on the PC. Now counting to 10 on my pinkies - Sue Murray, Barry Hughes, Steve Perry, Nurse Ratched, Anon George, Felicity Potts, that's only 6, and only 3 registered voters, Sorry Folks, do better next time.

Comments:	So Supermike believes he was performing a public duty for Borough Green by blocking the Headmaster's car at Wrotham School because he claims Wrotham School misappropriated £8,000. Has this claim been substantiated and was his action endorsed in advance by a unanimous Council vote? Perhaps in addition to the £5,000 he claims per annum the Council should supply Supermike with a flashing blue light to fix on his self-publicising gritter van when he embarks on his public spirited escapades.

I was acting on a unanimous vote by a committee of 7. 2) Yes I draw my TMBC £5k pa- when I tried to refuse it I was told that I would still lose my Council tax benefit, and be taxed on the amount even if I didn't draw it, and as an OAP I can use the money, and I do put the hours in. 3) If self promotion helps me achieve what people want , so be it. 4) and as for "autocracy - pointless accusation. If you want to see autocracy at work look at TMBC - that's like Iran, but without the beheadings (so far). If anon anon has a genuine grievance, contact me with a name.

Taylor has a long roll call of Standards Complaints from ordinary people whom he has mistreated, which he has the confounded nerve to call a "badge of courage". Oh really?

Their vitriol seems to be generated by their deep love of Barry H and his friend Sue. But we must remember these people are actual criminals, who have used their status with a corrupt leadership at TMBC to avoid penalties for those crimes, crimes that hurt Borough Green deeply. Now if the malcontents have any genuine reasons to support what BH and SM did to BG, let us hear it. I like Borough Green more or less as it is, I don't want it to be the huge urban area that they planned.

For instance,I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was Dorothy who pointed out the absurdity of Supermike's public grandstanding whilst frequently preferring to hide his identity on the'Borough Green News'. Indeed, with his hunger for publicity one can only assume he doesn't regularly sign autographs outside 'Sainsburys' because he would't know whether to sign them as 'Supermike' or 'Fred Anonymous'.

At an early age I came to realise that politicians are in it for the monetary rewards and that they never give a straight answer. Our councillor Mike is a credit to Borough Green and more than a match for any of the snide comments wrapped up anonymously posted here. I have no respect for any comment made that does not have a genuine name and profile to go with it. Take a walk through Borough Green and if you see Mike you will notice that people recognise him, stop to talk to him and respect him. I would not recognise any of the other councillors but they have never been out in the snow gritting the road or arranging social events.

Find a deep trance medium who can control what spirit speaks through him/her and will give sound and solid proof of a life after death. Our friend Kenny Punt is such a person and his sister Penny has the gift but to a lesser degree. We have spoken to the Watch Tower sellers about this and they have informed us that the Lord needs to save us and have even offered to send reinforcements to my house to rid it of evil spirits but I refuse to part with my ouzo.

Comments:	Thanks Fred. Whilst dissent and discussion are the cornerstones of democracy, I think George/ie can probably only muster a party of 2 or 3, indeed it could even be a single person with a disassociative personality - several minds struggling to exist in one body. I do gain some amusement from his/her/its antics- but the anonymity makes a nonsense of it all. But I must say they do have a good grasp of language syntax, even if they don't really grasp the concept of communication.

Comments:	All that bile? Why, that is great to hear! Bile is healthy! Essential for the digestion process and regulates your intestines' level of friendly bacteria, bile is the microflora that keeps you fit and strong. Bile destroys unwanted and dangerous organisms as they invade your body. Bile helps your body eliminate waste products. Rather in a similar way that the village needs to go through a detoxification process to rid itself of it's big girl's blouse. The day is long overdue that BG parts company with MT.

If the people of BG don't want me, the mechanism exists for them to get rid of me quite easily. There will always be a few malcontents like you, and the glory of democracy is that we allow you to survive and flourish. So your diatribes only serve to strengthen the system. If you think you have enough followers - get rid of me. I won't stay if I'm not wanted.

What is the point to you attending the meeting when you were unable to vote. Causing disruption and unnecessary scenes in schools and on building sites stopping people going about their daily lives. How can you represent Borough Green when you have been censured, rendered impotent and can't vote for us? You have let the side down. So quit with the ad hominems, they have become tedious and only serve to turn people against you. I've heard the rumblings.

Its the man of honour I have trouble swallowing - I often wonder what the benefit he and SM gained from Isles Quarry. I have always had difficulty in believing the "old brown envelope" accusation, although it has been voiced to me on many occasions. If someone volunteers their time to help the community, what synapse in their brain later misfires to make them harm their village? Baffling. Still good to see erudite comments resurfacing.

BGPC has provided a youth club, Potters Mede pavilion and sportsground, a skatepark, we fund foodbanks, the elderly luncheon club and foot clinic, the war memorial, expanding public open spaces, and are even fighting on behalf the new residents at Hazelbourne. Fair criticism is most welcome, anonymous and personal sniping is not. And to prove the power of my mighty mouse, read Col P's last post.

Comments:	Today is Easter Sunday, so I went to Liberty Church in the village hall. I thought I had the wrong day when I walked into the service, it was not dissimilar to the Rock & Roll Club held at the same venue. There was a thought provoking sermon on churches, which means an assembly of people. Churches are about people, not buildings, which are just bricks and mortar, that is all. A very friendly congregation who gave me a warm welcome, but I prefer the more traditional hymns at The Good Shepherd, such as Rock of Ages. One of my favourite preachers, Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892, said: "A lie travels all the way round the world before the truth puts its shoes on". He was right. Micky T lives down under where quite a few lies have reached him.

Even though he supposedly boosted morale during our darkest moments, he was unceremoniously booted from power in 1945. He met such incredible hostility; during one campaign speech he even "endured half an hour of booing" according to one newspaper report. We can live in hope.

Comments:	Ha, ha, ha, what razor sharp wit you have Mr. T. I can assure you there's no marijuana on sale at Sainsbury! But there was at the Rock pub before it was demolished. A Churchillian quote: 'Never in the field of human inebriation has an Alehouse been so missed by so few'. I must say, I don't get Councillor Clark Kent's obsession with that Den of Iniquity. In my youth I was ever thirsty but I stopped drinking there when it started going downhill fast. Out of the four pubs in Borough Green it had a reputation as the seediest. The goings on gave it a bad name. It was known for DRUG DEALING, patronised by the underworld where they met for their regular fix. It is common knowledge and I recently heard it again through the village grapevine. If your local Superhero wants BG to have a history he will have to do better than that. "Remembering the Rock Tavern"? I'd rather forget it.

I can tell you that a surprising number of the good people of Borough Green feel differently, they have seen another side firsthand. I hate to shatter your illusions but I speak as I find. Popular? Liked? Some of us have never been ones to follow the crowd as we're quite capable of making up our own minds!

Comments:	Einstein plagiarized the work of several notable scientists in his 1905 papers on special relativity and E = MC squared yet the physics community never bothered to set the record straight until over half a century later. We can now say with certainty that Einstein did not originate the concept of matter being transformed into energy and vice versa. It dates back at least to Sir Isaac Newton (1704). Einstein's special relativity theory was known in some circles as the relativity theory of Poincaré and Lorentz, he also copied key equations from fellow physicist David Hilbert. Brown (1967) said that the relativity theory arose from Poincare in 1900. Einstein, with his training as a Patent Clerk, more than anyone should have recognized the need to cite references in his article on special relativity.

So although you might be less than 100% in favour of 'Superman'/'Supermike,'you have to admire him somewhat. He has not ducked the challenge, and enjoyed soaring to success. Cheers Colonel!

Comments:	Colonel : One time I had a buddy in BG who was into wrestling big time. He used to train on Wall's ice cream, and was known as "The Spencer's Cottages, 16 stone scissor-kick specialist." Apparently, Sainsbury's are considering importing frozen dingo burgers. If he'd had the benefit of Sainsbury's specials in those days, he would probably have become known as the 20 stone scissor-kick specialist. He would have been awesome, and admired almost as much as Supermike is now - if that were at all possible. Don't wear out your carpet, while rocking the night away. burp!

Tell you what Micky, if you can't make it here for a reunion with Councillor Clark Kent to console him over the loss of his local boozer, perhaps you could invite him there. You could take him on a day trip to Ayers Rock for a picnic. I'm sure there's nowhere in Aussieland he'd rather go. Perhaps he'll come face to face with a dingo!

While you're looking things up, find out what he had to say about esteem being reduced to nothing. So it's odd you hold our local Superman in such high esteem. Hey, next time you jet over you could meet up with him for a beer in the Rock. While you're reminiscing, he might be able to tell you why the owners removed the roof, then you could cool yourself down with a Fosters Australian Lager Beer. There was once a picture in that pub of the Queen's father, George VI, on the wall. He didn't go by his real name either.

One of the reasons the country is in such a mess today is that too many ordinary people defeat themselves by saying "there is nothing we can do".

Comments:	Quite a character from the past was known as 'Bob Dog.' He had been employed by Curtis & Caine/F.P.Caine Ltd. for a while, and I heard older workers speak about him. He used to run head first into the side of a moving company lorry which was being driven by George 'Bandy' Fuller. Also head first into brick walls - one of his party tricks was to throw a brick into the air, and then head it. Some said that he was thus nicknamed, because he could catch a rabbit with his bare hands. His real name was Frank Hooker, and he lived in Addington. He played football for a few teams in the area - including while in his fifties, Ryarsh United. With the laws of the game preventing him from taking a hod load of bricks onto the pitch, he turned cartwheels during the game.

I have been told decisively by my Jackie, born and bred BGer, that Windy Knob is the hill by Bellows Lane on the Ightham footpath. Crowhill Knob was just called The Knob, but I stuck the Crowhill bit on because its real historic name was Crow Hill, hence the estate name. Incidentally, John Osborne has found a postcard of the "new houses" at Crowhill, with rolling field behind. Will put on site when I can. I couldn't possibly comment on who should play SP in a film, I cannot think of an actor with his inimitable character

About a dozen years ago Bill Maher wrote: 'Everyone has to stop pretending Woody Allan movies don't completely suck. Hollywood stars must stop pretending that it's an honor to appear in his unwatchable, recycled tripe, and critics have to stop pretending that a tiny old Jew could be scoring with Tea Leoni and Helen Hunt. Somebody contact wardrobe - the emperor has no clothes.' I was amazed how easy he was on him. Who would you recommend for playing the part of Steve Perry in a comedy - would you consider Woody Allan?

I can't seem to recall being asked my view if I wanted an extra 3,500 homes, plus amenities, in the village. I am strongly opposed to the development, and see it as greedy opportunist landowners with their snouts in the trough. Obviously they don't have to live here. I want to see a Borough Green by-pass, but not at any cost. My fiance and I have already decided if this monsterous development gets the go-ahead, we will be leaving the area. If I want to live in a concrete jungle, I would have moved to London. What will be done to protect the residents of Borough Green from this situation? I have taken the 'Borough Green Gardens' (Gardens? Ha! It won't be once the concrete goes down.) survey, so have expressed my views in the strongest possible terms.

And David Foxen started going with her friend. We used to take them to the coast on our motor bikes. For several years I had witnessed Steve's popularity with attractive girls. I had tried so much to be like him, to joke like him, but didn't know what to say, I just didn't have it - the harder I tried, the more I remained anchored in my unsuccessful plateau. To make up for those years, I have rubbed it in about that auburn haired girl.

In this energy flow, water and the 13 soil elements essential for life, are transported from the soil. A continuing supply of energy is required to maintain high order in the pumps. High order means health. Touch the trees and tell them I'm thinking about them.

Comments:	So let's see - I was mentioning that during the first few years, while the tree roots are establishing themselves to take in sufficient water, their need for the watering assistance. Already I've been contacted - by someone who goes on and on even more than me! - that the survival of a tree depends on 8 major factors. OK, that aside; too much or too little water will kill. Temperatures too high or too low will kill. I'll leave it at that!

Comments:	Mike: When asked, I was unable to accurately answer - what was Steve's job at the quarry? As a teenager, following upwards of a year in the Merchant Navy, he had been serving an apprenticeship as an electrician at Aylesford Paper Mill. Thanks! How's global warming? As they get established during the first 3 years, the Potters Mede trees will need watering - operating like a pump, their developing roots needing assistance in the uptake of water. Hope you don't mind me mentioning!

Always a step ahead. I remember all of those years ago now, as if it were just yesterday - and saying to my Mum, "I wish I was like Stephen Russell."

More than several of those, had transferred from Wrotham Primary School. For locals in that class who were not considered 'Grammar School material', it would not have been a good year.

Comments:	I don't see Campbell Higgins and John Carruthers questions being answered at Ian's website. An interesting survey would be to find out how much living memory there is in BG. There are a lot of surnames that I do not recognise now. Perhaps that influences things somewhat. But to use that as an excuse is stretching it a bit much, I should think. I'm sure quite a few viewers see the names of relations, friends, acquaintances, etc., mentioned - then just move on to something else. Well mate, nowadays, I guess 'that's just the way it is'.

And a barrage balloon in a cornfield at Claygate Cross. Les Goodall from Bristol was posted to the Basted venue that I mentioned. He later married Joan Gunner of Claygate Cross, and ran her father's farm. This is a long shot in case Sam and Les had known one another. And yourself and/or Jackie are aware of this.

A lot of newcomers don't realise the impact of quarrying on BG, they see these pretty wooded hills, and don't realise they are quarry waste. Thong Lane bridge now gone, our last surviving bit of heritage, but managed to salvage a length of the old tramway rail, to be cut up into souvenirs. I must admit I haven't done the site counts the past month or so, been very busy, normally run 100-150 a day each, so looks like a good increase- probably TMBC looking for evidence !! I do remember "Two-Way Stretch", and Lionel Jeffries saying "what's wrong, frightened of a little bang?", just before the cliff fell on him.

Comments:	The last time that I saw 3 BG quarry workers : Ron Woodger, Tom Merritt from Claygate Cross [next door to Alan Webb], and Stephen Russell from Western Rd. - was on a Sat. night, late summer 1966. I hardly got to speak to them - they were in the public bar, and I was in the saloon on a date. Tom's wife Rose, was serving me. You may remember seeing Stephen's Dad driving his truck, to and from the vicinity of Basted House, where he market gardened. A good customer of his would have been his Mum. She ran a greengrocery shop at the foot of Western Rd., opposite the Red Lion. I believe that the building was eventually 'written off/damaged beyond repair', following a few crashes of careless A25 drivers into same? Oh! and the pub where I last saw those quarrymen, was the Chequers - in jolly old Crouch.

At Ian's BG Photos website : For the 1956 building of the Recreation Ground, War Memorial Sports Pavilion, Dilla is mentioned in the 'shortlist' (by Frank) to represent all 62 volunteers. In one of the photos, I was quite impressed to see 17 years old Brian Summers - of Hill View, digging away at the bank. Campbell was living a door or 2, from Pat Moorcroft, in Sevenoaks Rd. [not Councillor Pat Moorecroft apparently, but similar age and looks]. Re : Campbell's Christian name - Ann, his Mum, was Scottish.

The Higgins I knew are Janet, still around in BG, and Fred "Prungy" Higgins, a quarry worker who was a bit crippled, allegedly from playing football barefoot in his younger days. Used to go to work walking his bike using it as a zimmer. He drove a stock lorry and stayed in the cab all day. Famous event when he went under Mill Lane Bridge with the body up at speed, and got the cab reared up in the air against the bridge. He couldn't climb down, and it took the lads several hours to extricate him, with the truck stabilised with two loading shovels.

Actually, Jackie looks like a mixture of some Garretts and Ashbys. Is Shirley related to 'Tich' Bowman, Arthur 'Moe' Tebb, or Robert Tebb? If 'Moe', ask him if he remembers going to that coffee bar in Riverhead for 2 years. If Robert, if he remembers killing my fish from Long Pond with a knife. I'm still grieving.

The two on the bench are my Jackie (l) and Shirley Bowman (r), nee Tebbs. All 4 benches are now installed. Crowhill is actually named Crowhill, but common parlance is "The Knob". Windy Knob is the hill on the old footpath to Ightham, and sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theory, but it was named that long before the new houses were built at Staleys Rd.

Comments:	Hi Micky. Jackie's Dad was Jack, married Tess (Cicely) Perkins, who lived at Orchard House at the time. The marriage broke up when she contracted TB and was sent to Northampton. Jackie was bought up from 6 months by her Aunt Bess and Uncle Sam Stebbings. Sam came from Attleborough in Norfolk and met Bess Garrett when he was posted to Basted on Ack-Ack and searchlights. Jackie always called Bess her Mum. Years later when we got engaged, we had to track Tess down because Jack wouldn't give us permission to get married, and Bess wasn't Jackie's legal guardian. Jackie and Tess got on well, but Tess never took over Jackie's love for Bess as her "Mum".

Comments:	George "Sam" Salt had sons George,John, and Dave and lived closed to the Harrow. Dan Salt was one of Sam Salts grandkids who has been mentioned on this website. Very close knit family and had a reputation for looking after each other. As long as you keep out of England you should be OK

Comments:	Hi Micky - Jackie's maiden name was Garrett. When I told my landlady in Ightham that I was going out with a "Garrett girl", her face visibly paled. But she was wrong, and I never had a single regret - without Jackie I wouldn't be a Borough Green-ite.

Many of those my age didn't really have an education - little more than a smattering of the 3-Rs (like me). I can understand that limiting comments from them. For 2 years I've been thinking about a comment which appeared on the History of BG website [Themed - Basted, section]. I also knew Tony O'dell well; know her name, but cannot place Sue Ashby; and wonder what your Jackie's [broken-up] maiden name is. I've been told that strictly, the majority of the time, I do not qualify for 'news', 'comment on the site', or 'grumble'. Oh well!

Comments:	Hi Micky, sorry I haven't responded to your multiplicitous posts, been busy. Doll Fissenden was the cleaner with the MBE, no other awards except my 4 standards complaints - recognition of a sort!! I exercise every day with the specific intention of surviving to cause trouble. I only know that my Dad's depot was on the Danforth Hoghway out of Toronto, and that he had occasional trips to California, but I lost touch with him when I was 5, so no trucker's stories. I remember Ron Woodger very well from mt Stangate days - shovel driver, used to have a little inner tube to sit on because of his boils. The frogs all hopped off before we could harvest their legs. The Counts always impress me - but always surprised I get so few comments, excepting yourself, of course. We did find out that Mary was in service at a big house in Crouch Lane. We do have a stonemason, Don Sheppard from Chiddingstone - does a lot of local cemetery memorials,The design of the War Memorial grew from some artists impressions, a guy called Ramon Higgs, a Legion friend of Ray Chopping. We have tried to incorporate local history into the memorial as well. A-Z was a complete stitch-up by crooked developers and a cowardly Borough Council. They only have to commit to locals for affordable housing, so they will be importing more commuters - what these people never realise that by piling everyone into the southeast, they destroy what made us special in the first place. I am glad I am not on the road anymore I knew Frank Davies well, and am still in touch with his family in BG. Jackie remembers him from the Cinema, but I was a newcomer in the 60s, just as the Rex was closing down. And I can confirm that Mike Gear is really Mike Gear, and quite unique.The Coronation Oak consultation was kosher - no point doing it any other way, I can posy all the figures (in fact I think I did at the time). Put an email address in sometime

And that during the 50s, Bernard Gear had raced with 'Squeak' Gosden (from Crow Hill) and Alan Fuller (Claygate Cross) for Sevenoaks Wheelers Cycling Club. Now I'm wondering if Mike is related to Bernard!

Comments:	When Sue’sbury’s opens it will do well for a short time because people will want to “nose” around it but living in Borough Green and actually talking to people here the general consensus is that this place is not wanted. We have the COOP just around the corner which is more than adequate for the needs of the villagers so why have we lost a very good pub and gained an unwanted shop? Did TMBC completely ignore the wishes of the people of Borough Green; I think they did, once again. It is some consolation that we have Mike Taylor in our corner but surely there is a limit to the punishment he can take; just lately he has been well and truly “in the wars” and some of the local newspaper reporters must have done their training with the Sun.

Comments:	Hi Rikki, that is a surprising attitude, you don't work for Sainsbury, do you? I suggest you look at what Nisa, Loco and Co-op actually stock before you suggest they need replacing by Sainsbury - who sell exactly the same range. The survey we carried out showed 3-4 people out of thousands who wanted it, so you are a very small minority. Local produce is mainly grain and rapeseed, (and sand). We aren't against progress that adds something to the village, but unfortunately progress by corporations always means destruction of something.

It's a real shame that we don't have more shops selling local produce. Our high street needs a revamp, then the likes of Sainsbury's wouldn't stand a chance, but as it stands, i bet they do well.

So the mere act of raising a complaint does not in itself affect an officer's reputation.

If the appetite from the community is there we can go another route (as Underiver did) and go private: http://www.gigaclear.com/ There has to be sufficient interest to make it viable though. What are your thoughts around this? I have no idea whether it is just me being impatient with my broadband or if other people are after faster speeds as well.

Comments:	Thanks Dot and Dave. I will explore that. My primary concern is that a media company is claiming that it holds the copyright to an image which was supplied in good faith. It belongs to the Bangay family and I have no wish to seek permission to use one of our own images, nor to pay a fee to do so. Nor do I think it lawful that somebody can pass off somebody else's image as their own and seek to gain from it. It goes against inteelectual property rights. While this is being clarified I will keep content off line. The entire archive has copyright asserted and is only to be used on non-profit sites. That does exclude the Chronicle. The Mail too quoted chunks without permission, though of course it helps to understand the background of this issue.

To apply you need to have a housing need (you may be over-crowded at your parents?) and need to be on a low income, and of course join the list.... you may jointly earn too much but just wanted to flag this up just in case it may help.

Comments:	Crest Nicholson must be loving this publicity especially with some gay people openly stating they would love to live in a road named “Bangays Way”. Maybe we will see a few rainbow flags displayed outside their new houses and if even luckier get an invite to their house warming parties (please note we drink ouzo). It would be good to show the Borough Green community spirit and welcome newcomers with open arms, after all Borough Green accepted Dot and Dave (eventually) and couples do not come much stranger than them. Do not use audio search for Dot and Dave because it translates it to “Duck and Dive” if you have a Cockney accent like us. Long live Captain Mike Taylor, you sleepy old git.

Comments:	We all need to very clear, this comment comes from someone who is bitter, the fact he is gay is irrelevant. This is an attack on all sensible people, gay or straight, and the best way to treat this is to treat it with contempt. I would not want to see a backlash against an unfortunate comment, Borough Green is better than that, Borough Green is tolerant, and we have actually won a small victory - the Parish Council wanted "Frank Bangay Way" in the first place. Can I go back to sleep , now?

In any event I trust that the village remains the wecloming place I recall and that the press find time to focus on its many positive quailities. I also hope that those with grievances have the civil courage to dicuss these with their neighbours.

Comments:	I would hope that the initial complaint gets some serious consideration, much as I gave it this week. This did however go into the planning process and was approved years back. To undo that is complex. It requires clear benefits to be indetified. Bangays Way has merits in that it makes the women in his life and other family members enter the frame. Without support from Edna and Freda. Dad would have achieved so much less. From a feminist persective Bangays Way might seem ideal. Frank Bangay Way makes it clearer who it is about. I am sorry that BG has received national attention because of the way this was overly hastily brought to the press and due process side stepped. I am also aware that many comments on gay online sites have thought this a little trivial and that more important matters require attention. I tend to agree. If like accident spots, data is collated and an increase in homophobic incidents takes place due to this sign, then a case may be made. As this will only

Comments:	Bangays Way This all seems a little petty to me. The road name was chosen in recognition of a local person NOT as a homophobic slur. TMBC I presume approved the road name in the first instance so not sure what would now make them change their mind? As a note TMBC's website states as follows: "What happens if a street needs renaming or renumbering? Renaming or Renumbering an existing street is to be avoided unless the benefits clearly outweigh the obvious disadvantages......" I'm not wholly certain that due to a couple of people with an alternative mind constitutes a disadvantage or requirement to change a road name?

Comments:	It’s very sad that a gay couple in Borough Green are objecting to a street named “Bangays Way” People would probably have walked past this sign and not given it a second thought but with the publicity it is receiving there is now a fair chance it will be vandalised. We have read some of the comments on the many articles published about this street sign and the only sympathy this “drama queen” has received are from gay newspapers. The people of Borough Green are proud of Frank Bangay’s achievements and after talking to many villagers our gay couple seem to have really alienated themselves. We would be interested to hear if the Parish Council intends to change the street name.

So do we change the name to TOXIC TERRACE that's more befitting is it not I am sure most of the villagers will agree . we could call any other roads Costa lot avenue and bankers garden Some people really should get a life or move back to a town Brighton maybe .

I currently reside in Borough Green and have done for 31 years. I live with my partner and our little girl. We are currently living with my parents as our rented accommodation came to an unfortunate end. ( we do not qualify for a "council" house as we are both working ) We can not afford to buy a house in the area and the lack of properties and huge demand and extortionate pricing for rental has left us with limited options. After applying for the shared ownership scheme, we were sent an email inviting us along to view 2 properties at a specific time at "Hazlebourne Avenue". Both were 3 bedrooms properties priced at £315,000. I called the number on the email to arrange another time so that my partner could view too (he was at work at the time specified). I was told that this was the only time available and they could not accommodate my request. (Great st

Comments:	Correct me if I am wrong. I was lead to believe that if Isle Quarry was allowed to take place it was going to be largely, affordable housing for first time buyers. My daughter and her family are indeed first time buyers. Yet their average annual salary combined is not enough to purchase a 3 bedroom house that they require. However, they could afford a two bedroom apartment !!! We have also discovered that the part buy part rent scheme (which they have been approved for)is a fantastic opportunity if you can afford the minimum of £1450 per month for the rent, service charge and mortgage on a 3 bedroom house. So in short, my daughter, who works part time and looks after the children in-between, her partner who works full time on the national average wage, can only afford a 2 bedroom apartment on a complex that was originally approved under the understanding that it would be affordable housing for people in the area. So please can someone explain what exactly clarifies as affordable ho

Arriva run the bus from Wrotham, and they flatly refuse to go the long way. So we either put up with the Quarry Hill route, or no bus at all. And there was a strong petition from Borough Green and Wrotham to run a bus route to the surgery now that Wrotham surgery is closed. At least we seem to have stopped the Quarry Hill busstops.

I am willing to concede that the actual corruption is just a few people, and the rest either stupid or covering up. The evidence of that corruption is all here on this site, and hard copies as well. There are sound planning reasons why Isles Quarry and A-Z should not have housing, and why the Henry should remain a PH. I will admit to being brutally stubborn, and no threat will stop me if I think I am right, but it is all in the hands of the electorate. If people want me out, that is fine, at least I would then not have to endure working with these smiling liars. Regards Mike. PS why no email address? Why anonymous?

Undercover happenings are always revealed, and quickly, yet not one person has revealed or uncovered anything untoward or corrupt... not even our newest councillor! I know you are trying to do the best thing for our village but so are the othrr councillors and officers. What possible advantage could they have in damaging what we have here? Maybe it is time to stop fighting and to try to bury the hatchet. You will do far more good working with people than accusing them and publishing offensive material.

Comments:	Hi Nicky, I am afraid that the only time you will hear the Bypass mentioned now, is either from Sue Murray and her friends, or a big developer. I know now that the old Parish Council & Sue had their eyes on the triangle of land bounded by the Bypass, the A25 and the A227, to get it removed from Greenbelt, get the Parish Boundary moved up to the M26 so Wrotham didn't get a full say, and get housing built. Now that area would probably take 1500-2000 house, with enough profit to build a bypass. Unfortunately, it would generate so much extra traffic, it would negate any effect on BG Traffic. That is why Tim and I have been concentrating our efforts on J5 slips, which will shift traffic off the A25 onto the motorway network, and that campaign now has the support of Parishes from West Malling to Westerham, and has now moved upward beyond just a local campaign. So if someone suggested a Bypass now, we know it would come with very heavy strings attached, and unfortunately would be s

Comments:	Hi Nicky, my own personal Jiminy Cricket As a former member of the Christmas Lights Team, I can answer that question: after the Manor House, all the posts are too far to be powered from private houses. We did start to move outwards, but the lights had to be powered by EDF direct from the streetlight power. This work for the first year for the two outside Tollgate, but then EDF lost interest, we lost power, and it became a waste of time, so we pulled back to our original boundary. It is also becoming more difficult to get volunteers to help with the lights. If anyone reads this who is interested in joining that happy crew, call Sandy on 884336. Because the Parish Council cares deeply about the drab and monochrome life in the grimy north of the village, last year we extended a burst of colour with 5 new hanging basket sets as far as Tolsey Mead.

Comments:	Hi Adam. I do understand your anger and frustration, and it is echoed by the Parish Council. You are quite right that vehicles from the Hornet Industrial Estate are required by a condition of their lease, and the planning permission for the site, to use the Haul Rd. But the plain fact is that Mr Dunn, the owner of the site , professes to be powerless to act unless he has hard evidence. That of course means that residents would have to sit out there all hours, which just compounds your suffering. I do not hold out much hope for the intended 7.5 tonne limit being imposed on Quarry Hill to solve the problem, if these cowboys ignore the current rules, why should extra rules have any greater effect. If we could get just one registration number, perhaps pictures, then Mr Dunn would be unable to hide anymore. I have copied this reply to Roger Dunn, and to Lindsay at T&MBC Planning, who may be able to apply some discipline via Planning Enforcement. I am sorry I cannot be any

Comments:	Dear Ann As an aside, as a receiver of the current levels of Police Service, I have a comment. Our new pavilion at Potters Mede suffered criminal damage. It was not an emergency, and the PCSOs attended as booked, were extremely professional, and our CCTV will help to apprehend the perpetrator. Coincidentally, one of the PCSOs was Roxy from Wouldham Burham, who attended our own little meeting. She and her colleague got lost and had to be guided in by my wife and I on the phone. Now I stress this was not an emergency, and I was more than happy with their excellent service, but what if I had been an old lady in the process of being burgled? This is where your brave new policing model falls down. When we had our own officers, they would have known the venue, and probably even known the perpetrator . And you have ditched all that experience and knowledge. Regards Mike Taylor

Curious that they can always find the manpower to protect Government and Big Business interests, as witness Balcombe, Kingsnorth and the G7 "riots" in London. But there will be a fortnightly visit by a mobile Police Station, so long as our merry local hoodlums join in the spirit of the scheme, and only commit crimes on that day, we will be OK.

Comments:	Hi Nicky That works both ways, its only if both are vigilant that safety can be achieved. A driver is deemed to be trained to drive, but modern vehicles are so swift and comfortable that the motorist is often lulled into a glazed indifference. A pedestrian should not be expected to have the same level of road awareness that is expected in law from a driver, so the duty is on the driver to be ever aware that a pedestrian might step out without regard to what a driver might expect to be a reasonable level of awareness. By a curious coincidence, yeaterday I was crossing at the very courtesy crossing we are discussing. The High St was completely clear, a van came from the railway bridge, indicated to turn into the High St, but didn't bother to stop. Shortly behind him was a Veolia dustcart, moving quite fast, no indicator , and starting to lean into the bend to go down Western Rd. I started to cross, and he swerved without slowing down into the High St, I managed a quick burst of speedand he missed me: if I had been older or not paying attention I would have been wiped out. Fortunately, as a driver for 50 years, and most of them as an HGV, I am more road aware than most pedestirans, and even I can get caught out. The onus is on drivers to be aware of what a pedestrian is going to do, possibly even before them, but not all drivers are aware. The only answer is to use well planned crossings to lure pedestrians into a safe crossing place, where a driver should be even more aware that they are likely to cross. We can only aim to reduce risk. Rgds Mike,

Comments:	Hi Nicky, the reason we are going down this route is because of concerns from the public about the apparent lack of safety of the courtesy crossing. KCC simply will not allow non-standard signs, and I believe that is reinforced by the Highways Act. I personally believe the courtesy crossing works well: the majority of drivers will stop if a pedestrian is waiting, and a smaller number will stop if someone else has already stopped. There will always be some motorists who are so blind to their responsibilities to pedestrians under the Highway Code that they don't even bother stopping at redlights or zebras, controlling them is outside our responsibility. Crossing any road is always a hazard, all we can try and do is limit that hazard, but in the end it boils down to responsible drivers and responsible pedestrians. I know apparently sane people who tell me they refuse to stop at the courtesy crossing because its "not a proper crossing", completely forgetting their absolute responsibility under the Highway Code to give right of way to pedestrians, they simply ignore the Law.

Comments:	Hi Nikki Valid moan: but it is in hand, but we have to contend with the glacial slowness of KCC, The block paving was removed a year ago, and within the next few months a proper zebra crossing will be installed right there. We have had a few carping that it is a dangerous place to put a crossing, but if you don't put a crossing where people want to walk, they don't use it. This is part of a 9 point traffic plan that BGPC is pursuing, and some are already in the pipeline, the rest will go before KCC for a funding decision in the next financial year. There is a great deal of support in KCC for this, they are very aware that Borough green has suffered from traffic for many years and the standard response to our complaints has been:"That will be resolved when the Bypas is built", then they c*****d up and lost the Bypass.

Comments:	I'm sorry but I am about to moan again this time about the piece of road outside the supermarket and Westminster Bank, This strip of road is not a pedestrian crossing and is not marked so, there is going to be a accident soon, as people are just stepping out into the road as if it is there right,cars and lorries coming from the railway bridge into the High Street suddenly have to break as someone steps out, this could cause a rear end shunt and either a pedestrian or driver could be hurt or even killed I think its about time the council either put warning signs up saying this is not a pedestrian crossing of mark it up into a crossing

Is anyone supposed to take care of it? I would be happy with the help of my husband to tidy it up but am not sure who I would need to contact to see if this would be ok to do. It just looks such a mess and is a real shame given it's importance in the village.

Russet Homes own the hedge alongside Tollgate which has been cut right back, and the PC is now taking responsibility for the hedging between Oaktrees and Tolsey Mede. You may have noticed in recent weeks that the grass has been cut, and the hedging tractor cut. As we have time the idea is to make the pavement safe, and improve the look of the entrance to the village, as we are also doing at the Western Rd junction. Our staff are also beginning litterpick along this section of road, where pupils of Wrotham School make such a mess everyday.

Comments:	Most people in BG accepted the Celcon/Bypass deal, but since that fell through, we will only get our Bypass in return for unacceptable levels of development, whether that be 1000's of houses, or a railfreight terminal. You are right, Paul Carter made us a genuine promise, but KCC now do not have the money. We are in alliance with our neighbour PCs to persuade Paul that in the short term, and for far less money than a planning application, he can bring real traffic control to the A25/A227, traffic control that he would have had to put in after building the Bypass anyway.

Oh, how misleading is that? on investigation i/e phone the mayoral office, asked the question : turns out that they hire a limo to run her worship about . So that is why it can be seen in Staleys , Tillton and roads around the doctors surgery awaiting pick up so come on Messrs EVAN, MURRAY & SAYERS, who are you trying to hoodwink?

We realised that KCC were unable to comply, but had concerns for our residents, so the PC bought the saltbins and supplies so we can all help ourselves. The work on pavements you have seen is carried out by the PC's part-time staff and volunteers. It would be more than helpful if uninformed people stopped criticising our efforts, and pitched in as volunteers.That way the whole VILLAGE could be made safe. Happy Christmas!!!

The 6 bins were installed by the PC using the staff and volunteers, and were kept filled, and the High St pavements kept clear. However, this was done despite KCC, and was prompted by the abject failure of KCC during the bad weather last year. A lot of people worked very hard, and you are seeing the start of a program. If you have a complaint about your KCC bin in Sandy Ridge, I suggest you direct your complaint to KCC website, not us : we are not allowed to touch that bin. Rgds Mike

Comments:	Good Morning Trudy, Of course I am quite aware that Rachel Evans is not a relation of David Evans, and the mention on the website is quite clearly just humorous musing. However, I am not the architect of the suggestion that Rachel Evans is related to David: Their campaign literature says "we are both young women with views of our own that are not always identical to our parents", and several people I have spoken have read that as a relationship to Murray & Evans Senior. That was an opportunity I simply could not resist: you must admit that as a campaign slogan, "Murray & Evans, want more of the same?" does have a certain punch, even if you do not agree with the facts. Still, it is only a game, which your Dad enters into with the same enthusiasm and Machiavellian joy that I do, and it isn't quite as childish as spraying graffiti on campaign posters. Nice to know you are using my websites to keep up to date, and it is curious the family similarity in writing styles( and spelling errors). Mike Taylor

Comments:	Curious indeed! Having lived in Borough Green for 22 years and now living in Ightham I have a keen interest in the village and find it interesting that this website, whilst claiming to publish hard facts, chooses to alude to and intimate that a shared surname means a relation? Does this mean that all previous articles and messages are assumption and purley used to misguide there readers? Unless my father has led a double life I can state that Rachel Evans is not related to David Evans.

Comments:	Mike - using the link via BG News Guest book for a change. Hope it works? Can you put a section on Bypass website promoting up SLIPS campaign....leave to your profesional imagination but something really impacting especially at a time when Bypass Website is not doing anything due to KCC needing time ....could get something running on SLIPS during this quiet bypass time.

Comments:	I would like to comment on the vote which asked if we wanted the PCto resign. I fail to see how can they not resign,last time I looked we were a democracy, does this now means Gorden Brown cannot lose the next election,as every vote not taken must be a Labour vote. come on lads, swallow your pride GO now,you had a vote you lost, GO ! SURELY THERE MUST BE A GOVERNMENT RULE ON THIS. This is England, fair play and all that.

Comments:	What the bloody hell are the Parish Council up to. We have seen the work that Mike does in the rec and the way he has helped to keep the kids out of trouble. We also are very proud of our DIY village and agree with the bigger percentage of Borough Green Its time for the Parish Council to resign and let someone really represent us.
