  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC.
    That’s ‘Before Computers’.

    Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as

.. and not a “mad dog” in sight.

Posted by Big John on June 26, 2020

I live on the North Kent coast of England, just a few minutes walk from the sea. It’s a fairly peaceful place to live and the street where I reside sees few visitors. That was until yesterday when the bloke who looks after my garden was unable to park his vehicle anywhere near my house due to the large number of cars parked all over the bloody place!

He returned today and told me that he had never before seen so many people on our local beach as he had seen yesterday. So it would seem that, even, our tranquil…

… little resort, (pictured in previous summers), was not safe from the half-brained lunatics who seem to think that a suntan and a few cold beers will protect them and those around them from a deadly virus.
