I specifically went to Sheerness to go and see the UKs only scorpion population. A local copper saw me, asked what I was doing, and offered to get his massive UV light out of his car. Saw quite a few!

But yes, otherwise all rather run down. The extreme wealth discrepancy was an eye opener.

I couldn't have guessed that Sheerness had a natural scorpion population and yet somehow it isn't surprising either.
