It seems the Brits have built a number of shoddy nuclear plants . The results may be electrical shortages this winter. In theory, at least, Britain now has 10 operating nuclear power stations, stretching from Torness on the Firth of Forth to Dungeness on the south Kent coast. Each has two reactors, and ministers boast that they supply about one-fifth of the power that keeps the lights on. The reality,...

It was then in his garden until experts at the town's museum looked at it.[...] Source

Kent Online displays its ignorance and trivialises the English Parliament issue by claiming it's got us "hot under the stiff upper lip" (surely that's "British"?!) and allowing the final say in its quoted comments to go to somebody with no grasp of the facts at all: Robbie Craig from Dungeness, said: “ The only point of new government tiers is if they increase the accountability of politicians and...

It's a bank holiday weekend, so pack your bucket, spade and dictionary of modern cultural terms, and head off to the seaside. Kent is home to some brilliantly idiosyncratic coastal life and Margate, Dungeness and Chatham have received creative attention from, respectively, Tracey Emin, Derek Jarman and Billy Childish.
