Fairy snuff. I've been to TW quite a bit and I know what it's like - the average tree hugger couldn't afford to live there anyway, thank heavens.

TW always seem to feature on Points of View where "Outraged from TW" would be complaining about some program or other, to the point where it became a cliche.

Whilst I'm here, is that rather charming nightclub at the top of TW High Street still there (has some ironically poncey name IIRC)?

Have to agree this one really winds me up - it's the use of the word 'black' in the name of the award. In society today the use of the word 'black' is discouraged when talking about ethnic groups - yet it's ok here, why?

It isn't so much that they single out MOBO that bothers me, but the fact that sandal wearing lentil muching tree-huggers from Tunbridge Wells would be up in arms if someone started the MOWO awards. Jeepers, I'm boring myself now...
Oi! I ain't no lentil muncher, cheeky sod! Plus it's Royal Tunbridge Wells to the unclean masses like you

Its simple, Black is used to mean positive and empowered, white is all being racist and negative.
