London bombings

FG ≫ 2005 ≫ London bombings

I guess you know what happened in London today. We passed through things but not close enough to be affected. Anyone planning to go to London, I would say don't. Likewise anyone planning to be bad at Folkestone station, there are police there, as there have been security alerts at other commuter stations.

Lots of info here, including emergency numbers for those worried about relatives still in London.

This is part of my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved 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 + voting for favourite places + things, + I hear it was a handy resource for others 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 knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and 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 Twitter.
