Then read their Wikipedia pages. Walk to Margate Pier and look pensively at the sea. Bring a photographer – if possible. Collect seashells. Start a friendly rivalry with the Shell Grotto. Grow your own vegetables. Best eaten with store-bought vegetables for maximum flavour. Always wear at least one thing from the 70s. 1870s. Shop for quirky glasses. It’s a well-known fact that hip people are always found shopping in a Specsavers or Boot’s Opticians. Keep a journal. Write about your seashells and ways to collect more than the Shell Grotto. Become an artist. Buy some brushes and watercolours from Lovelys oand give it a try. Start with something simple, like a drum.
Always ask for a Wisconsin cocktail. If they don’t make them, settle for a hand-pressed apple juice. Then, tell the bartender about the time you read about Wisconsin. Only consume organic coffee beans. The best ones are from Colombia. They have a great crunch to them. Cycle. Then cycle some more. Recycling is hip. Write a poem about Margate. It absolutely is so great.
