If I'm not mistaken isn't it by Sheerness ?

if so then sittingbourne is the nearest civilisation

Cheers Mark.

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... )

Watch out for the Prison though

I'm sure he'll leave with a positive impression of our country

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
