Still a bit ill at the momment, a small case of the overs...overboosting overheating and oversteering.....

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

Cool, I used to live in Gravesend, grown up there pretty much all my life! Used to be ok, but slightly ****e now!

I must admit I quite liked working in gravesend bit of a foody thing going on for me when I was there. The indian cash and carry around the corner from the BP garage is the best ever, especially for huge fresh bunches of corriander and black onion seeds (essential in tikka masala) and other difficult to get items. The butchers down queen street sold uncooked salt beef impossible to find anywhere except cooked in a deli at silly prices. Chinese buffet resturant eat all you can in the high street and there was a supermarkt in St Georges that sold slabs of slow cooked pork belly for next to nothing. the one system is sh!te though I'll give you that.

Allcomers welcome!

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

I know we spoke about it Mike but I didn't realise you knew Gravesend THAT well!!! I used to work in a shop on the corner of Queen street

[Sizey1980]

What shop? Newsagents?

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

Nah, there was a shop called Bennett & Brown in New Rd (I think it's an Estate agents now) & they had/have a large concrete apron behind it accessed from Queen St next to the Newsagents. We are talking 1980 when I joined them though! :think:

[GeeVRSman]

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

This could be a big meet!

[Sizey1980]

I think carpet time was the same building? Who was your old boss? Not Stuart was it?

I've put my name down on the list, the variables with me are A. How well my parents are at the time. I've been doing quite a lot for them of late! B. Whether I can take that time off work. C. Who else goes, as 3's a crowd!! Lol.

Fair play to Mr Collins for organising yet another trip!

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

Well Mr Lok has asked me to confirm his attendance, so it's a party of 4 so far!

[Sizey1980]

Oooh, was he a Jehovah's Witness?

[Beryl's Chief Pilot]

You got it! I remember him working in Star carpets so when you said carpet time, I put 2 & 2 together!

[MacFadyin]

hope to make it as back in the UK that weekend.

Busy with the Folkestone MRC show so depends how knack-eared I am.

OK if I just drop in for a pint?

Hi there all welcome, as long as you bring the chevy I haven't been to the folkstone show for a while, That's a definite for the diary

I've been a bit remiss in coming along to these lately (I think the last one we came to was last Xmas!) :( Had loads of 30th birthdays and weddings this year to go to (sad to say I'm getting old!). I can't make the October one but will have a look at the Xmas trip and try and make the Nov one.
