Usual terrible reporting from Kent Online. This isn't a new takeaway they have been operating in Deal for almost 2 years and if you order online it will take you to the Wellingtons payment site.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

The old Ladbrokes at the front of the Charlton Centre is now a bait & tackle shop.

My carer took me to Canterbury last week so I went for a wander round M&S.
I was shocked to find the trouser section absolutely full of rail after rail of what appeared to be jogging bottoms with elasticated waistbands, casual polo type shirts and the area where suits and blazers used to be full of puffa type jackets.
Eventually I tracked down the more 'formal' wear to a tiny section round the corner where there was one small display of shirts various, a rack of blazer type jackets, a few pairs of trousers and no ties whatsoever.
Heaven knows what we are expected to wear if we ever return to the office after WFH!

On my 500+ mile trip on the canals last year it was the only town I passed through where I could not identify a mooring where I would feel 'safe' overnight.
(For anyone remotely interested the voyage continues next week).

Kings Lynn is lovely. Excellent 'spoons and St Margaret's Church is Grade 1 listed.
