Something about it being handy for regular trips to the in-laws in Belgium. So this morning I pottered down the street and picked up the latest edition of Motor Boats Monthly.

This time from The Independent's writer Will Self who opens: "The Isle of Thanet has always been a little problematic for me". Of Broadstairs he writes "seldom has anywhere more gentrified become more chavvy" - a comment which has some grounding in fact, sadly. Broadstairs does have a "youth drinking problem" (not to mention an adults drinking problem at some pubs if all reports are to believed).

One of the things that the area has going for it is a massive culture of arts and music. This guide is intended to be an introduction to the not-so-mainstream that still hangs on in Thanet. It is my hope in writing this guide that I can spread the word about what's left of the area.

The site is based around the theme of getting naked in the south east corner of Kent known as Thanet - a fiendishly simple concept....but you need a brave kind of model who is willing to expose themselves to the sea breezes blowing in off the English Channel!!!

Self describes Kent's Ramsgate Peninsula as 'the very coccyx of Britain, with its seafowl and its foul maidens.' Writing about Boredstares, he continues: Seldom has anywhere more gentrified become more chavvy.

Serious and objective reporting about the dire state of Margate! Yep, it took intrepid, investigative reporter Rolf Harris to get to the bottom of things - Margate's dying on its arse. On his Made in England art show on BBC1 last night, the Aussie ocker said the town looked 'mostly shut' and one young Margatonian he interviewed commented: 'It looks like a shanty town.'

I see our beloved local council features in this week's edition of Private Eye, where it's described in the Rotten Boroughs section as 'supine'. Reaching for my OED, I see it defines the word as 1. 'lying face upwards' and 2. 'failing to act as a result of laziness or lack of courage'.
