Does anyone know of either job/hovel in the Lydd - Folkestone stretch of coast? or know of anyone who might?

What takes you down to the Marshes?
There's always the nuclear power station or the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway...

Would you stay in Leicester more than 4 years?! Pastures new init.
Like your fusion of nuclear and coal powered suggestions :-p don't think the railway will need many people its tiny, but your thinking in geographically the right area
Waiting to hear back from Saga as it happens!

In the early 70's I was offered a job as Production Controller in Smith Industries in Hythe. I see they are still there masquerading under the name of
Smiths Medical International
Military road
Hythe
CT21 6JL
They are the only company I know in the area.
Good luck

Any more ideas?
There's a possible opening as an 'Insurance Technician', but the job description's fourth and fith words are, respectively, "boring" and "repetitive"
!
A certain lower end supermarket seem very interested but can only offer part time, which just isn't going to cover the rent.
Get thinking!

Sandwich is a long old trek from the Marshes (does anyone remember seeing the Ham/Sandwich signpost?), though maybe not by Aussie standards! Though I do recall a few fellows making a happy few quid testing Viagra - sadly, I think that's all over now...
I used to live in the Dover-Folkestone area, Ben, and I hate to be negative, but I can't think of a good employment-based reason to move there right now.
However, I'm a great believer in 'where there's a will, there's a way'!

Had an interview, didn't get job because of something I told them right at the beginning, they still carried on interview/test for an hour, waited an hour an told me I hadn't got it. =waste of at least £30 in their wages, and more importantly my time.
may have something part time in hythe, find out friday.
fyi, it costs ~£1100 to move in to a £350/month flat when all fees included, hahahahaha, oh sh1t.
anyone in the money lending business?
