I don't like how Folkestone seems to be being mentioned alongside other roughneck towns, in being one that's already banned hooded tops in the town centre...
It's not hoodies that are banned though is it, it's YOUTHS, disguising their faces by wearing hoods and hats and then robbing pick and mix from Woolworths.
This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places + things, and I know it was a handy resource for others who were moving to the area. 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 just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye 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 anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
