Some flags combined with something other than all day lager and sky sports might have helped. Not sure exactly what though. When I see the waving of flags at the last night of the proms, I still only think of bigotry and jingoism.
This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, and I hear it was a useful resource for those 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 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 newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper 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 the twitter.
