Ebbsfleet, what with its football team and its railway station, is in
the news more often than London these days. I wonder what it's like? I
bet it's a dump. If it's not too bad I might move there. Perhaps it'll
soon become the capital of the United Kingdom. That would be cool.

Oh, that would work, move the capital even deeper into the south east.
(thought it had moved to Brussels any way )
I'm not convinced there is an actual place called Ebbsfleet. The football
team in in Northfleet (used to be called Gravesend and Northfleet), and
the railway station is within sight of Northfleet station.


Multimap still thinks the only Ebbsfleet is near Richborough, south of
Margate. Is the new Ebbsfleet a 'new town' using the older terminology?

There has been a minor outbreak of should-know-better references to the
wrong one, including in a book on the history of St Pancras station.
