So Roger De Haan raised more than a billion yesterday1, by selling Saga to Charterhouse...
Staff will receive a 1,000 cash bonus for every year of service, which is nice for them, and that nice for the town, where some of that money will be spent... Also nice for the town is that the 1,200,000,000 profit is also likely to be spent here... More restaurants please Rog!
This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
