Does not look like they're in a hurry to reopen Escondido Sandgate, but they're trying to make a go of the Deal branch, there's an offer of a free cocktail with presentation of the advert in My Shepway1 free sheet.
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 previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful resource 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 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 something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
