Ancient sweets in (groan) mint condition

FG ≫ 2005 ≫ Ancient sweets in (groan) mint condition

Jars of sweets which are thought to be at least 45 years old have been discovered at a bus station in Folkestone, says the BBC... they're being shipped off to a museum in Battle, Sussex - why could they not be kept in Folkestone somewhere?

Will we get more discoveries like this, now the whole town centre is to be ripped up? Went walking through the car park area intended for the new shopping centre the other day, and I think I'll go back to snap some pictures before some of the old buildings are knocked beyond recognition.

This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came here in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, + I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
