Life, love, games, real ales, fights, dirty cash, dirtier videos and imaginative ventures. This book tells the (almost) true tale of our times, describing how a hardworking band of pavers progress from pikie to respectability in the Kentish community. Only occasionally may the Godfearing, honest, hard working, tax paying citizens of Kent stop to wonder how the local miscreants, throwbacks and the altogether less conventional manage to send their offspring to the same schools and drive their 4x4s to the same Waitrose car parks. This book tells the (almost) true-to-life history of the descendants of hop pickers that settled in The Garden of England from London's East End. Their rise and more than can be imagined by polite society is chronicled through the riotous adventures of one gang of loveable experts of rolling out the black stuff. Paved with Good Intentions leads you along the wayward path followed by Timboy, Pedro, Spike and Leggo - from pikies to respectability in the Kentish community. This sympathetic and humourous tribute was written with the willing cooperation of the main characters.
