What do you think of it, do you like living there?
I'm Welsh, from Newport, and my boyfriend is from Gillingham. We live in Caerphilly, South Wales now but we did try moving to Kent for a while so he could "go home". We lived in Gravesend and I hated it. I was so homesick.
The people were really nice though! I really liked everyone I met down there, they are all so friendly and chatty. To me they all sound like Cockneys but my BF insists he is nothing like one!!!
BF's family live in Sittingbourne now (or "S(h)ittingbourne as his brother calls it).
Best bits about the area? Rochester Castle. Bluewater Shopping Centre (or Bluewa'er" as the locals call it), Chatham Dockyard(Chatham = really Chavvy, just like Newport), Canterbury (very posh and historical) and all the really nice countryside around and about.
And I never met anyone down there who was rude or unpleasant to me about being Welsh either! They all loved my accent, hehe!
