Hopping Down in Kent
The high point of the summer for thousands of East Enders between the Wars was to leave the dusty streets of the city for six weeks hop-picking in the Kent countryside. The locals saw it as a massive annual invasion, the Londoners as a working holiday after which there might have been enough money to buy clothes for the winter.

Last of six programmes Jack Kerouac , writer
He was suddenly aware of the sound of language and got swimming in the seas of sound.
(ALAN GINSBERG , poet)
He has been called the patron saint of the American Beat
Generation. His life and writing were to that generation a symbol of rejection of Eisenhower's America. Kerouac went from college football hero to self-destructive alcoholic; 'a man on the run' his friend
Lucien Carr called him. But in that retreat he made at least one novel that challenged, and continues to challenge, the way in which we see the world.
He was the precursor of the revolution of the 1960s.
Strangely, that revolution has retreated, but 'On the Road' keeps on being read.
