I thought the attached was quite amusing.  So good that I made my own BayRaider version (also attached).

Gosport?

Cheer up, those "skyscrapers" will look better once it's dark....at 16.30!?!

The refineries of Fawley make even Southampton Water seem glamorous, at night!

Gillingham.  I particularly like the deflated and probably redundant gasholder in the background, somehow symbolic of what we're going through.

A River Runs Through It, a river which, by the time it gets to Gillingham, is quite big and quite salty.

Not to be confused with Gillingham Dorset which has a tiny river running through it.

Ah! So it does....clearly, I need to get out more!

I blame Google maps; it gives me Dorset first....Must be a bumpkin thing? :-[

Kent for me has been ferry ports only.....
