It is indeed on the isle of sheppy. (See here www.sheppeyscum.com)

Once you get on there, its quite easy to find queensbrough (you can lap the island within 20mins or so... :lol: )

Watch out for the Prison though :shock:

I doubt he's coming on holiday or anything, or even on purpose. In fact perhaps he's being deported and expecting to end up in the one of many prisons :shock:

Not all bad
I used to visit the island all the time when I were a lad, however it is only good for one thing.......... WINDSURFING. Great shingle beach and you can really get the sail cranked down, very flat for high speed blasts and practicing water starts etc.

Oh there is another place which is nice for walks, espically with the kids. Go down to the far end of the island pass Lays-down "Funny name, I assume this refers to the female sex on the island"
But if you carry on pass Laysdown and go to the far end of the island, go down an unmade road right to the south end of the island, you will find a nature reserve, that is away from all the chav's.
The kids love it cause it's the nearest sand to south london, Yes there is actually some sand here, very quiet, well until the kids turn up and start playing soliders in the unused pile boxes.
