Hi! I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me. I’m from the US and I’m trying to reconnect with an old friend named Liam James, who I believe lives in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

I’ve been trying to find a way to get back in contact with him after losing touch, and I’m hoping someone local might know him or know the best way to get a message to him.

If you recognize the name or think you might be able to help, please DM me. I don’t want anyone to share his private information publicly — I’m just hoping to get a message to him. ❤️

Recently moved to the area and been a bit lonely lately.

Love gaming, movies, tv and warhammer 40K! Hmu!

Could a kind Folkestone local help me with a little surprise? ❤️
I’m bringing my partner to Folkestone for a sea-glass hunting date, and I’d absolutely love to arrange a little surprise for her to discover on the beach.
Would anyone local be willing to spell out a short message in pebbles for us to find when we arrive the following morning? Nothing massive or fancy — just something simple and thoughtful to make our day extra special.
I’m happy to discuss a small contribution for your time if needed. I know it’s a random request from a stranger, but it would genuinely mean a lot.
Please message me if you might be able to help. Thank you! ❤️

Hey guys

I’m 31m and have been in a bit of a rut for far too long. Struggled over the years with anxiety etc and need to try putting myself out there more. Does anyone have any recommendations for welcoming, easy going social groups based in or around Ashford?

I’ve lost interest in a lot of my old hobbies and looking to try spark something new. I used to be quite active about 10 years ago and was regularly in the gym or doing races but have since stopped. Otherwise these days I play a few pc games.

I guess ideally I’m looking for a group that meets up for drinks or a walk and through that, maybe someone will suggest a hobby I could give a go.

Thanks

Edit:

A couple of us are meeting at spoons in Ashford for a drink this Friday at 20:30, if anyone else would like to pop in and join us for a drink feel free

Hi everyone!

I'm a Computer Science student and independent developer from Kent, and I've been working on my own UK bus tracking and journey-planning app.

I started building it because I regularly use public transport and wanted an easier way to track buses without relying on multiple operator apps.

Current features include:

• 🚌 Live bus locations and vehicle tracking
• 🚏 Nearby bus stops and live departures
• 🗺️ Journey planning with walking directions
• 📍 Route maps and vehicle information
• 🔎 Search for routes, stops and places

The app is currently available for public beta testing on Android. An iOS version is planned for the future.

I'm looking for people who regularly use UK buses to test the app and provide feedback.

I'd especially appreciate reports of inaccurate information, bugs, confusing features or suggestions for improvements.

Please note: the UX design was helped with AI, Im not fully confident in front-end UX design yet; I'm mainly a backend developer

I have appointment in Queen's Mary hospital in Sidcup. Would be much more convenient for me to go there by car. Does anyone know how is the situation with parking there? Is it easy to find parking Wednesday noon? How long can one park?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are looking to move out of Gravesend to somewhere new in Kent - we have lived here all our lives and want to make a something ‘ours’. Our families are still here so we don’t want to be too far (within 30 mins drive), and it will be helpful to have grandparents close for childcare.

Our budget is £700k for the perfect house, but lower if the house will need a lot of work done to it. We currently have no kids but are looking to start a family in the next few years, so we want to buy a house we can grow into. Ideally, 4 bed detached, if possible.

My husband prefers “suburbia” whereas I wouldn’t mind a village in the countryside, so suggestions of either would be great.

Must have:
• Under an hour commute on the train to London. Not on the HS1 line - we both refuse to pay those extortionate fares. Don’t mind having to drive 10-15 mins to a station if it means a lovely village
• Excellent primary schools
• Lots of greenery, countryside and parks nearby
• Leafy roads
• Few nice pubs, cafes etc
• If a main town, a nice high street and not run down
• Amenities such as supermarkets within a good distance
• Low crime and not run down
• Not entirely white - the reason why I say that is both my husband and I are Sikh, Punjabi. We don’t mind moving to an area which is majority white, but some other cultures mixed in would be nice, especially for our kids growing up (I had terrible experience being only one of 2 non white pupils in my year at primary school and suffered a lot of racist bullying. Want to avoid this for my future kids).

The areas we have considered
• King’s Hill - phase 1 only
• West Malling (very expensive and our budget doesn’t buy much house)
• Sevenoaks and surrounding villages (same as above)
• New barn/Longfield
• Bearsted

For our budget, phase 1 Kings Hill seems the best option. It has everything, but I am hesitant as they’re newer builds. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

25M looking for friends for dartford. LIFES TOO BORING HERE I USED TO LIVE IN STRATFORD

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what they might be doing here.

For several months I have seen landscaping works from the train between Charing and Lenham. The area looks fairly rural - it’s between cow / sheep fields.

I’m just curious if anyone knows what they’re doing.

Thanks for any help.

Not sure if this is the right place to post - staying in tenterden this weekend, looking for a quality pub lunch for the sunday afternoon. We'll be travelling on our way back to Brighton, so near anywhere roughly on the way through East sussex. Help !! and thanks in advance !

Hi! I’ve been trying to find a small local book club that focuses more on romance/romantasy, but couldn’t quite find one that felt like the right fit.

So I’ve decided to start one myself! 🙂

I’m calling it The Bookish Bunch — a small, relaxed group around Swanley and the surrounding Kent area.

We’d read one book a month and meet up somewhere local for drinks, book chat, fictional-man discussions and generally good vibes.

Romance, romantasy, fantasy romance, sports romance, dark romance, spicy books etc. all welcome.

I’m currently looking for our first founding members. If anyone is interested, I’ve made a very short form to see if there’s enough interest:

I’d love to hear from anyone who thinks this sounds like their kind of thing! ❤️
