Nice!
Did he brag about his name being inside the tent or did you find out by accident?

I had heard Margate be referred to as "Chatham by the sea", so doesn't surprise me

IvorHughJackolantern · 23/10/2012 21:11

Margate is my home town. It is terribly chavvy. My old art teacher went to college with Tracy and his name is one of those sewn inside her tent. This is my only terribly terribly tenuous claim to fame.

TheLazyGirl · 23/10/2012 20:43

Tracy is from Margate. Smile
She's definitely chavvy, but not from my home town.

Oh good idea. Tunbridge Wells local site could be "Brought to you by Petit Filou, market leaders in disgusting since 1975."

I do think Mumsnet local sites should have a 'Skegness is so bracing' type strapline, which could be sponsored.

Brilliant idea. All posts must begin with "Am I the only one who thinks ... " or "Why oh why oh why .. ". And the fonts should be green obv.

I nearly drove through Tunbridge Wells yesterday but the lady in the sky decided to take me through Paddock Wood. I was quite cross with her because it was dark, foggy and wet. Silly cow.

OatyBeatie I think that's a brilliant idea. It could be done like a weather forecast: Harpenden starts the week being very enthusiastic, turning to tiredness on Wednesday until optimistic enthusiasm resumes on Friday, settling in for the weekend.

And what about the mustard?

OatyBeatie · 22/10/2012 14:04

As part of the revamp of Mumsnet Local, we ought really to assign a reactive state to every locality. Tsarinas will have to scout out the prevailing sentiment in their area.

This week my locality is mostly teetering between indifference and optimism.

CunningPlan · 22/10/2012 13:59

Helen how can you be Grin?

You're supposed to be outraged and disgusted.

It's disgusting and outrageous. Someone ought to do something about it

Grin at this thread.

Where does Tonbridge figure in all this? Sloppy seconds?

FreddieMercurysEnormusPumpkin · 20/10/2012 23:52

It's a fantastic forum:) There's something for everyone, it's quite educational.

IvorHughJackolantern · 20/10/2012 23:21

No one ever says 'discounted' in The Royal Borough Hmm

GranToAirMissiles · 20/10/2012 23:18

'Discosted' - is that how they say 'discounted' in The Royal Borough?

IvorHughJackolantern · 20/10/2012 23:11

I live near Tunbridge Wells. I am often discosted.

It's the Royal Borough of though, if you please.

AngryFeet · 20/10/2012 23:03

What the hell is that boards forum about? They also have topics for sweets, cakes and pies, beerguts and hunting Confused

FreddieMercurysEnormusPumpkin · 20/10/2012 23:00

As is mustard. The most maligned and misunderstood condiment.

THERhubarb · 20/10/2012 22:52

Zombies are much maligned and misunderstood.
