Some see it as a place for people who are still coming to terms with the death of Edward VII

Canterbury divides opinion. Some see it as a place for people who are still coming to terms with the death of Edward VII:  a theme park for vaguely distracted gentlefolk, who find the sport engaging but would really rather be pacifying the North West frontier or civilising the dusty outback

I really, really, want to go to watch Kent play.
