  pig racing seems to be ok but welly whanging sounds very dubious.
  
  thankfully nearby lydden keeps moral standards intact.

  I'm off to the Carpenters Arms at Coldred this evening for a game of Daddlums - great fun, not on the Prince Harry scale but still great fun!

  for the uninitiated "daddlums" is a traditional game involving cheese and skittles, strongly associated with rural kent.
  
  readers will be pleased to learn that no sheep come to any harm in this game.
