For King and Country 100 Years Later With thanks to Alf “Legs” Beeching Two Sons Killed 30/6/1917 Much sympathy is felt for Mr S B Williams a well known Broadstairs solicitor who has lost by death in what was German East Africa., his third son Percy Bright Williams. The deceased took part in the invasion of the Huns Colony serving with the East Africa Mercantile Transport Corps. He died from fever. Mr P B Williams was only 32 years of age and leaves a widow and one child. The second son of Mr S B Williams Lieutenant S B Williams East Kent Mounted Rifles died in October 1915 as the result of wounds sustained at Gallipoli. Another Margate Man Makes The Supreme Sacrifice 7/7/1917 The name of Private Leslie john Thomas Shinn, Royal West Kent Regiment, the youngest son of Mr and Mrs Shinn of “Maida Vale” Sweyn Road Margate is another to be added to the roll of gallant young men who have given their lives in the Empires service Private Shinn died on June 7th as a result of wounds received in action in the vicinity of the famous Hill 60 and his sorrowing parents have received from the Army Chaplin, a sympathetic letter telling of his gallant death and describing how he was reverently laid to rest in a little French village. An Officer of the Company in which Private Shinn was serving writes to Mrs Shinn -: I am writing to you on behalf of the Officers and Company to offer you our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son Private Shinn, who died from the effects of wounds received on June 7th. His loss is felt deeply by the entire Company as he was extremely popular with all ranks owing to his cheerful disposition and devotion to duty, both these characteristics being particularly in evidence on June 7th Private shinn who was only 21 years of age will be remembered by many Margate people. For some time before he joined the Army he was engaged with his uncle Mr James Knight in the business of hairdressing in Northdown Road. He was one of the first men to join the East Kent Volunteer Regiment and served in the 1st Platoon, in May of last year he joined the Regular Army and had seen service in some of the most desperate encounters on the Western Front. It is a sad coincidence that his last letter home couched in characteristically cheerful language-: was received by his parents on the day of his death. The late Private Shinn has a brother at present serving in France with the R.A.M.C, and his father had also served in France in the Army Service Corps, for a period of 14 months before his discharge. The death of young Private Leslie Shinn a loveable lad of the best type is much deplored by his many friends. To Advertise in The Margate Handbook please Phone 01843 571145

BBQ Chicken Burgers Ingredients 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 4 rashers bacon (optional) 4 large burger buns, sliced in half lettuce, tomato and red onion, to serve

For the sauce and marinade 4 tbsp tomato ketchup 4 tbsp brown sauce splash chilli sauce (optional) 2 tsp clear honey 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Make the sauce and marinade by mixing everything together in a large bowl, then put a few spoonfuls aside. Slice halfway into the thickest part of each breast and open it up like a book. Flatten down slightly with your hand, then toss in the bowlful of marinade to coat. Chill for as little, or as long, as you have time to. Barbecue the chicken for about 10 mins until completely cooked through, turning so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burn but is nicely charred and sticky. Cook the bacon at the same time until crisp, if using, and toast the buns. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, slices of tomato, onion and the reserved sauce on the side for dolloping on top.

GRANDAD NOW KNOWS WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG

Grandad was asked the question “What happened to the Good old Days”. Well, to really know the answer to that to have got to know what is meant by the good old days, what period of time can be classed as the Good Old Days. To most people, the Good Old Days was the period of time in their lives that they most enjoyed, again, to most people this was their childhood years. During Grandad’s childhood years we had Rag-and-Bone men coming round the streets leading a horse and cart and giving out Goldfish to anyone who gave them old clothes or, as it seemed to Grandad at the time, anything that your family no longer needed and wanted shot of it. There were also bus conductors on every bus or tram. Every major town or city had bomb sites where all the local kids would meet up. 80% of the adult population smoked cigarettes or pipes, so us kids would go to the shops and buy sweet cigarettes, sweet tobacco and liquorice pipes to be just like them, it was just the done thing then. Some days we were given a hand written note by our parents or grandparents, which was wrapped around a small amount of money and told to take it to the shop and give it to the man behind the counter, this man in turn would hand you back a paper bag that contained a packet of something or other and told you to “take this straight back home” he would then give you a little black sweet called a black jack, knowing that you would do exactly as you were told and take the package home. It took Grandad a few years to realise that he was being used to “Illegally” buy cigarettes. Because almost all of us had coal fires thick smog, known as Peasoupers were a regular occurrence, so our mums made us wear scarves over our noses and mouths when we walked to school. Many of us still had outside toilets and we had squares of cut up newspaper stuck onto nails to use as toilet paper. If you were lucky enough to know a “Rich Kid”, well the chances were that they had one of those new fangled televisions, so you went out of your way to become their best mate, on the off chance you would be invited to their homes to see this modern wonder. Every morning our mums made us have a spoonful of malt and a spoonful of cod liver oil, plus if ever we got earache mum had to go to the chemist to buy a small bottle of olive oil, as they were the only places that sold it, it was then warmed up and a few drops were put into our ears followed by a huge plug of cotton wool. At school we all took it in turn to be the “Milk Monitor” when we had to go and collect the milk crate from the school gate and bring it back to your classroom, we also took it in turn to be the “Ink Monitor” this meant that you were handed a jug of ink from your teacher and you had to go round all the desks in your class and fill up the inkwells. Then once every term we had the dreaded visit from “Nora the Nit Nurse”, who made you sit on a chair right at the front of the class and meticulously looked through your hair looking for “Nits” or god forbid something called “Ringworm”, and if anything was found you were given a letter to take home to Mum. However if the dreaded ringworm was found a few days later children would turn up at school wearing balaclavas, even in the height of summer, because if they were taken off you would see that their heads had been shaved and purple coloured splodges were dotted around their heads, if this happened you really found out who your best mates were.

As kids we all followed the latest fad, and Mum’s & Dad’s always seemed to find the money to allow us to do so, or if they really couldn’t afford to, they improvised and tried to make copies of the latest thing that was doing the rounds For us boys, at one stage it was Davy Crocket hats, every boy wanted one and, at the time every boy got one and was wearing it. Although this did cause a few problems in some families as fur stoles belonging to great aunts and grandmothers were “Borrowed” by some Dads and turned into something resembling a Davy Crocket hat, however if you hapened to be a boy who was proudly wearing one of these, you had very strict instructions not to wear it if you were near the homes of any of the aforementioned elderly relatives. The highlight of the week was the Saturday morning “Tanner Rush” where we went off to the local cinema, where we spent two or three hours watching Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless, and a great Cowboy film, although it seemed that all the films shown were aimed at mainly boys, the audience was roughly 50-50 split between boys and girls. In fact, everything was great it really was a time of the Good Old Days, every door was always left open neighbours were best friends and would do anything for each other, that is until the day it all went wrong. So how did it all go wrong, what changed it all, what made it what it is today, with lot’s of mistrust, crime on the up and up, burglaries commonplace, plus all sorts of petty crimes taking place, which in turn leads to major crimes. Drugs, vandalism, not knowing the names of neighbours who live more than 5 doors away, well Grandad has found out the answer to where it all went wrong and it can be summed up in 3 words GINGER BEER PLANTS. Well to anyone under the age of 60 this may not mean anything to you, but to anyone over this age you will know exactly what they were. Well it wasn’t a plant as such but a mixture of dried ginger, sugar, and yeast that was kept in a jam jar or something similar and covered over, usually with an old piece of cloth that was held on with string or an elastic band, Then every day you had to “Feed” this plant with a teaspoon of both ginger and sugar then give it a good stir. It was important to keep your plant in a warm place. After a week of all this “Feeding” you left it for a further 24 hours, then you poured the whole lot through a sieve, that was lined with muslin or, in most cases, a tea towel to strain all the liquid off. You then placed the liquid into a saucepan with a bag of sugar a pint of water a the juice from a lemon and boiled it all up until it turned into a syrup. This you allowed to cool, then once cool you added a further six pints of water and poured it all into pop bottles, put a cork in each one and allowed it to mature in a dark place for about a week, the result was lots and lots of delicious Ginger Beer, well nearly always lots, because sometimes the corks flew out or, even worse, the bottles exploded, but this was all part of it. Also, if the bottles survived long enough and were kept for a month or so because of the reaction of the sugar and yeast, sometimes a quite strong alcoholic drink was the result, which caused a few problems for some schoolteachers who had tipsy children in their classes. Right, once you had made your drink you had the “Plant” left over, so you had to divide this thing that looked like a pile of wet sand into two, keep one half for yourself, to start the whole process again and give the other half away to a friend or family member. For the first 3 months this was never a problem, because everyone wanted this magic must have plant. Continued over page Please mention The Margate Handbook when responding to adverts

Grandad Continued

However, if you do the maths, you give to one person, who passes it on, and so on and so on, plus you still had to pass yours on. Within 6 months everybody in the area had a Ginger Beer Plant and nobody wanted another one for love nor money. If people saw you approaching their houses with a jam jar in your hands, they would hide and pretend not to be in. Curtains would be drawn, doors that were previously open to all and sundry, would be shut tight, even locked. People stopped passing the time of day with friends and neighbours, just in case they tried to off load a ruddy Ginger Beer Plant on to them. Everyone was suspicious of everyone, people who were long standing friends stopped speaking to each other, and what was worse, if anyone saw the rent man knocking on a neighbours door, instead of telling him that their poor neighbour had been rushed to hospital and wasn’t at home, even though the neighbour was hiding in the back room, they would tell the rent man that if he crept round the back and looked through the window, they would find the person they were looking for, even, in some cases, allowing the rent man access through their own homes and helping him climb over the wall. From this point on, everything changed, everyone kept themselves to themselves and community spirit was lost, the Good Old Days were gone, all because of a ruddy Ginger Beer Plant.

Anzac Biscuits - nice & chewy  1 cup plain flour  1 cup rolled oats



Method

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Use 2 non-stick baking trays, or line them with non-stick baking paper. Sift flour into a large bowl, add the oats, coconut and brown sugar. Stir together. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup and 2 tablespoons of water together over a medium heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda. The liquid should froth up a bit. Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Roll level tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place on trays about 5cm apart (to allow for them spreading). Press with a fork lightly to flatten slightly. Do not worry if you have some left over dry mixture in the bottom of the bowl, just dispose of that. Bake for 10 mins or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to stand on trays for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen.

1 cup desiccated coconut  3/4 cup brown sugar  125g butter  2 tbs golden syrup  1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Pets in Hot Weather It's great when the sun is out and the temperatures are set to rise, but we MUST take extra care of our pets as they can easily overheat In warmer weather our pets' appetites tend to decrease, just like ours. Don't be too concerned if your pet does not eat all their meal or skips the odd one. You may find it helps to feed your pet at cooler times of the day (early morning/late evening) or offer small meals throughout the day. Moistening your cat or dog's dry food with water will help to increase their fluid intake Ensure your pet has access to water at all times, changing it daily to keep it fresh. Move water dishes out of direct sunlight. If you have a cat that likes to spend time outside, place a water dish in the garden for them to drink from. Don't forget smaller animals in outside hutches and cages! Ensure their water and food dishes are also out of direct sunlight and remove any fresh vegetables from the hutch/cage which have not been eaten. Dogs, cats and small animals can easily over heat in hot weather. Make sure you can recognise the signs of overheating in pets. EXCESSIVE PANTING LETHARGY INCREASED SALIVATION Try to limit the amount of time your dog or cat spends in the sun. Make sure they have access to a cool, shaded area indoors and outdoors. Be careful to watch where your pet rests indoors; conservatories can get very hot very quickly. Never keep your dog or cat in the conservatory and leave the house. Paddling pools are a great way for your dog to splash about and keep cool in the sun. Train your dog to get in and out of the pool safely. Popping a treat or a toy in the pool is a good way to encourage your dog to go into the water, and is a fun game to play. Ice cubes can be frozen with a tasty treat in the middle. Your dog will have fun playing with the ice cube to get to the treat, whilst keeping cool and hydrated. Never give your dog vigorous exercise in hot weather: they may over heat. Instead, try to plan your dog's walk in the early morning or late evening, when it's cooler. Exercising at the cooler times of the day will mean you can safely give your dog some vigorous exercise. Walk your dog where there is the option of a quick dip in water to cool off. Regular grooming is important during the warmer months. It helps to keep your pet's coat lighter and free from dead hair. When you go out, make sure your cat flap is open so that your cat can come in to escape from the sun. If your dog is kept in a kennel outdoors, keep an eye on the temperature inside it. Move hutches and cages out of direct sunlight to a well shaded area. Don't exercise small animals in the garden at the hottest time of the day. Instead, stick to early morning and late evening when it is cooler. To Advertise in The Margate Handbook please Phone 01843 571145
