Apocalypse Now?

Kent is an interesting place.

On the one hand there are the “Chi Chi” villages; villages so inbred and up-their- own-arses that you can buy 15 different types of organic asparagus which has been hand-knitted by colourful, ethnically diverse lesbians – but you can’t lay your hands on a Pot-Noodle.

On the other hand, there’s Gillingham; a town so down-to-earth it’s below sea level. The death valley of the southeast…..socially speaking. But what does Gillingham have that the ChiChi villages don’t?

I’ll tell you.

A real, honest-to-god, wouldn’t-believe-it-unless-you-saw-it-with-your-own-eyes NUCLEAR BUNKER!





Built in 1953, re-fitted in the 1980’s and accessed via a small inconspicuous looking building in a car par park. At the bottom of the stairs is an air-lock…..an air-lock!! In Gillingham!!

Presumably though, now that the cold war is long gone, and so long as the Americans don’t any of their Tomahawks aimed at us, the only thing this bunker could be used for now would be to hide England’s World Cup team when they crash out of the tournament in the quarter finals…...Again…… And they will
