Harking back to that lamp post yesterday, I'd just like to make it clear that it wasn't in any way meant to be a slur on the brave lads and lasses at Kent Highways, who do a difficult job, often under dangerous circumstances.No, it was rather directed at the 'higher ups' who have clearly made a decision that Wellington Crescent deserves less than gold standards when it comes to the new lighting along there. The new posts are definitely not of the same quality, calibre or character as the ones they erected along Victoria Parade last year. They're not black (yet - but let's hope they paint them soon), and I counted at least four which were just the old lamps with new bits bunged on them.
Why? Search me, guv. Perhaps one of my frequent KCC readers would like to explain.

Or, perhaps, your cartoonist chum, who's in charge of that kind of thing?
Maybe. But it's more likely to have been someone in Maidstone who decided that, with Wellington Crescent being 'at the edge of teh known world', they could get away with the B&Q option.
You blighters up on that eastcliff are just take take take
Ask not what lamp posts your county can paint for you but what lamp posts you can paint for them.

He's only jealous they don't have lights in Margate.
