Took a trip out to Chatham today, a place I've never been to before. A place that had a proud naval history that is now long gone. I know that there are plenty of places that are worse, Croydon and Woolwich for one but Chatham seems to be one of those places where its just vaguely depressing.
It's not multicultural and run down like Croydon, or just a shit hole that Woolwich is. Or smug and left wing shithole like Hackney with no proper shops. It has a Smiths and Poundland for christ sakes, its a proper high street.
No, I think its just a lot of people on electric scooters riding round that have put me off. A general twat chariot, for road men and dealers. Most of the pound shops were shut, they did have a gadget shop selling over priced records, but they did have modern stuff even if you needed discogs app to tell you what it is.
To make matters worse we wanted to go to Maidstone but got lost, so this is the compromise trip instead. Hopefully Maidstone is better. If we ever go.
