Britannia Hotels have just bought the Grand Burstin Hotel from Grand Leisure Hotels, and show flats in that crazy crescent down on the sea front should be available to view any time now, one bed flats from only 89,500 and the three bed duplex penthouse for 249,500 I think... that bit of Folkestone is on the UP! Whatever they do, let them leave arm wrestling night at The Harbour alone...

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, + I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
