Sunday Times takes the Orient Express

FG ≫ 2006 ≫ Sunday Times takes the Orient Express

Did you know it still travels through Folkestone? Read all about it1, they didn't enjoy the change in our town though...

Then we reached Folkestone, got off the train and onto a coach, yes, a coach, for the Eurotunnel transfer: going round Folkestone roundabouts, having to ablute in some ghastly car-park toilet, not having access to a bar...

This is part of my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here 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 gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today 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 Twitter.
