I really enjoyed it but where the hell do all the people who were involved in it live, certainly not Cliffe I didn't recognise any of them.
Dwyle Flunkinfg was a laugh though but I didn't stay till the end, who won?

You had a good time and a lot of money was raised for good, just causes.
Top day and very lucky with the weather.

Well seeing as passports were sold and elections were held I think it does matter.
A republic should be run by the inhabitants surely. We seem to have a president of Cliffe who doesn't actually live there how wrong is that?
I should be running this country.

Fund raising, having fun, people enjoying themselves, that sort of thing. It's not a serious breakaway state. Any the passports were given for a donation.

What!!? You mean we're not really an autonomous independent republic with our own elected government.
Something is very seriously amiss I have been hoodwinked and I'm not going to stand for it I'm going to go and blow the bridge up and I want my quid back.

We are ex-Cliffe now living in Malling. Can we set up a consulate and issue visas? Visa fees and an export tax on Harvey's would fund a presidential guard.

If Cliffe want to set up a consulate in San Francisco I'd like to volunteer to represent them there.

From what I saw of the CID, it looked like great fun. Well done to CBS!

I was walking home from work, tired and grumpy at about 4. When I met the barrier at cliffe bridge asking for a quid, I'm afraid I refused to pay saying "I live in the cliffe, do you?"
I lightened up a bit after a couple of pints of rat in the gardeners.
