You can tell us more about Tunbridge Wells.

• Jeff Beck lives in Wadhurst Mark Gilly Gilham - the original lead guitarist from the Anti Nowhere League (1982 - 87) lives in Ticehurst Davina Mcall lives in Wadhurst
• There's a film made in Tunbridge Wells and it's totally hilarious called We've got The Toaster
• It's nice that grunger and metaller are still current parlance in not-at-all-insular tunny wells. i haven't heard these slightly odd and sort of inexplicable words (meaning = anyone eschewing hair gel?) used anywhere else since leaving school there over a decade ago, so ta for the memories!
• skate park!!!!!!!!!!! (indoor)
• You may not know it but a film was recently released that is SET IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS. It was released 8th September and played at the Assembly Hall to 600 people and was covered by a live report by the BBC. It's a teen comedy called 'We've got the Toaster' and features young people from Kent & Sussex. You can check out the hilarious official website at www.wevegotthetoaster.com where you can view the trailer, see clips from the premiere, and have a laugh at all the other stuff on there. Apparently the makers trashed the location whilst trying to make the film! Everybody's trying to see it....
• Tunbridge wells is the perfect size; small enough so ill know at least one person in each of the "social groups" but big enough so there are always new people to meet! theres also a radio station down by Hoopers (radio kent or something) which has glass windows so you can stand outside and pull faces at the presenters while theyre on air.
• just do your own thing. don't do something because everyone else is doing it. if you don't sk8, start. and if you do sk8, carry on shreding. legalise skateboarding. $cott.
• Yo face.
• If you want to get out of this town and move home or just buy a holiday home in a sunnier climate contact `Claremont Property Services` or clickon www.claremontpropertyservices.com
• When i was a kid, i used to love hanging around outside the forum(and still do occasionally now!), especially with all the grungers and skaters, i always had a wicked time. BUT now all the chavs and the tarty girls with their gold jewellery and slicked back hair are causing problems there, 'alternative' dressers are much better than the people that just follow the trends from magazines and copy their mates, us people who actually show abit of individuality just scare brainless, moronic fashion victims cos we can actually get dressed in the morning without having to ring a friend to ask what to wear or to consult vogue!sorry, i just felt that rockers, etc where being picked on quite badly on this site so i had to put my point across, which, by the way is SO true.
• DO NOT put lemonade on any cuts gained from running up the down escalator in RVP!!!
• twells is a rising boho film centre! uber-hip teen comedy "weve got the toaster" is going to be made in and around wadhurst and tunbridge wells
• Reputations Royal Tunbridge Wells doesn't deserve its one. What possessed King Edward(?) to give this town some royal recognition, in reality where people brought their mistresses, having left their wives and families in really genteel places like Bath
• There is treasure in tunbridge wells my friend, if you do the pantiles tour, it hints clues at the treasure. a map was found in the pond opposite the old train station. there is meant to be another peice to the map in crowborough.
• If only Tunbridge Wells was more European.
• the boy that works in gas station is fit!!!
• I think we should fight the housing quotas for our area. I don't want to see fields etc disappearing under housing estates. I know the council tries to build as much as it can away from that. I think there should be more interaction between young and old in Tunbridge Wells to break down barriers. There are some great kids out there and some great older people. They could both learn from eachother. We've got a great heritage in Tunbridge Wells, the hospital is a massive thing for us and really positive. And we should all look out for eachother and celebrate where we live - Tunbridge Wells is cool - that's why people love it and that's why people who've left go misty eyed when they talk about it.
• i would still like to see more stuff about pagans, witches, vampires etc- and it's not the same as goths who dress up to make a rebellious statement.
• Obviously Tunbridge Wells is the fittest town in the world. A casual jaunt through the town centre or sainsbury's most days of the week is sure to achieve results. In fact as Tunbridge Wells is so incrediably good looking there should be a folder devoted to the fitness that is 01892.

• I was brought up in Tunbridge Wells, and went to Skinners School for 5 years. Ever since I left the town, I've appreciated it more and more, and now I'd quite like to live there! At the time, being an angst-ridden teenager, it was not a wonderfully exciting place ( we're talking 63 - 68 ). I liked the town library, and I remember many local roads where I learnt to drive. There are generally some excellent surrounding areas of countryside, for walking and cycling. However, like much of England, suburban retail parks ( the North Farm Industrial Estate ) and urban lookalikes ( the new shopping centere ( Victoria ? which makes TW look like any other town centre in Southern England ) have encroached. In my youth, as an impoverished student, I swept the roads and cut the grass verges for the council. Any others with similar memoreies ( pay was 25p per hour).
