Where is Kidderminster

[Caribeing]

Watching Coach Trip two Public School educated contestants didn't know where Kidderminster or Herne bay was obviously geography isn't on their cirriculum.

[bednobs]

i don't know where herne bay is

[firewatch]

herne bay is i think in either kent or norfolk, kidderminster is worcestershire! KIDDI rocks lol

[fadeout73]

I'm buggered then, don't know where any of them are!!

[fadeout73]

Well I do now, thanks Firewatch lol

[firewatch]

get me Herne bay is in Kent!!

[Prudie]

Unless you've been there or had some connection I shouldn't think many people from any type of school would know where they are. I mean, they aren't exactly centres of excellence.

[firewatch]

I only knew where Herne bay was because of upstairs downstairs the original series makes me sound old for 26 ;)

[bednobs]

but you didn't know where herne bay was!

[NoMercy]

Kidderminster is Worcestershire/West Mids. It's a whole in the ground.

[Postdog]

well, who really cares where they are......

[FredPuli43]

Neither place has any significance in geographical or economic terms, although Kidderminster was once very important in carpet manufacture. Why regard ignorance of them as ignorance of geography ? And anyway,the people are public scholboys and neither place has a public school. Not knowing where Kimbolton or Repton are would be another matter; that would be true ignorance of geography .

[Maydup]

I've heard of Kidderminster and have lived in Herne Bay, but I've not the first idea which coach to catch for either Kimbolton or Repton. Neither got a mention in my Geography class.

[NoMercy]

*Hole*

Lol. Never cook and post simultaneously...

[HowardKennitby]

I have heard of both but have no idea where either of them are other than they are in England.

[grasscarp]

I was a boarder at school in herne bay

[grasscarp]

And unbeknown to the nuns used to hitch into Margate on a Saturday!

[Maydup]

LOL

I can remember hitch hiking around East Kent too Grasscarp. Shame you can't do it anymore. (I'm sticking with the zinc by the way!)

[grasscarp]

Those were the days. Young and reckless. I hope the zinc does its stuff.

I am dismayed that people don't have a clue where different major towns and cities are in the UK, let alone knowing where they are flying off to on holiday. It's not new though - 20 years ago when I went to live in Brighton, my colleague thought that it was near Blackpool. A current colleague flying to Ibiza thought she was going to the Canary Islands. <<sigh>>

Kidderminster is 5 miles South of me..It's a nice place.
