Investment has been at record levels and high profile projects, such as the new dedicated fast line from Folkestone to London, and the inter-city track upgrade from London to Glasgow, are starting to come to fruition, says the BBC... quick, this success has all followed a little renationalisation. We can't have this! Privatise it again and mess it up!
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. This site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, + I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. 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 about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake 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 anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
