    I went on the railway from
    We took the railway from Hythe a couple of years ago and got off at some of the stops along the way. It's a wild and remote part of the country to be sure but the whole area is beautiful. Saw my first, and only, Hobby there.
    Isn't Romney marsh where they use to dump 'night soil' from London in the olden days?

    oh I’m not on the dark side of things just the turbine side so 2/3 years maximum I imagine the reactor will stand for years and years.. hopefully if hinkley c is a success then 2 mini nukes will get approved for down here as the cost of electricity from France is huge
