Hmm Folkestone B&Q is closing in January, something big will be able to take its place on the Park Farm estate. Debenhams was also rumoured to be closing then, so what could fill the place of Debenhams and B&Q? Where is the cross over between DIY ethic and soft furnishings...? IKEA! Come on IKEA, come to Folkestone, it's lovely!
Loads of bargains to be had at B&Q because of the closure I think, I will have to get up there.
💬 If I can get a bargain on these my robot might be underway...
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 '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues + things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper 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 great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
