@DialMforMara found a couple of interesting threads (which you have probably already seen) https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-99954.html and http://alt.books.pratchett.narkive.com/zHoZ9rKd/significance-of-ashkente but the lovecraft reference and also the county of kent being mainly retired people fits for me
