July 6, 200618 yr 6 July. Feast Day of St Sexburga, a daughter of King Anna of the East Angles. Despite her name, she was a paragon of virtue and founded and governed a convent at Minster-in-Sheppey.
July 7, 200618 yr Do any of you guys know what Isle of Sheppey is like to live on? We were looking at the price of houses there and they are super cheap. I take it there's a reason for this? I heard early last year when working there that a big port is going to be built there? If so the property prices will go sky high. I love the place myself and have spent many a happy holiday at leysdown. Although the place seems to have gotten a bit quiet of late. Did anything come of your enquiries?
July 7, 200618 yr Author We didn't make many enquiries TBH, it was just a passing query. We were considering it as a way onto the housing market as its so hard to start off. I think we're going to keep our eyes out for a self renovation project in cornwall, or something similar near the coast somewhere (anywhere!).I deperately want to get back to the surf as I like the active lifestyle. Its hard to balance lifestyle and career eh?
July 7, 200618 yr if you or anyone is thinking of moving think about this little prob whihc might not show up on your local search...copied off the BBC news website The wreck of a warship lying off the Kent coast could cause a huge explosion within 10 years if no government action is taken, a report reveals. The American cargo ship SS Richard Montgomery was carrying 1,400 tonnes of explosives when it grounded and broke in two, 2km off Sheerness, in 1944. The report says if the wreck exploded it would cause a metre-high tidal wave. Local MP Derek Wyatt is to ask people living nearby whether they want the wreck detonated, removed or left alone. 'Communities swamped' If it explodes it would be a "significant event" causing injuries and £1bn worth of damage, according to the report. The report, which was handed to MPs this week, said in 10 years time munitions "will be disturbed...which could pose a risk to the public." If the ship were to explode it would cause damage to property, together with injuries from flying glass and hearing damage, the report said. "In addition, the explosion would generate a tidal wave up to a height of one metre which could possibly swamp local coastal communities in exceptional tidal conditions."
July 7, 200618 yr Author Awesome, I'm going to set it off. About time we had some waves around here bigger than 2foot! Seriously though I did hear about that. Apparently it is now too unstable to remove the bombs due to corrosion and so on, and so the only way would be to blow it. A 1 mtr wave isn't exactly that big is it, a hard storm could whip that much up easily enough.
July 7, 200618 yr That would also cause a tidal wave up the thames then and London would need the woolwich barrier to work.
