		<title>Not sure they sell flats in the Grand</title>
		<description>but in The Metropole which is right next door and opened at about the same time, you can get a two bed flat with sea views from 200 - 300k. Not seen inside one so not sure why they vary so much. The apartments in The Grand are very nice, we went to l... </description>

		<title>Fig Cafe RIP</title>
		<description>AARGH, can't believe it, got down to Folkestone only to find the Fig Cafe has been closed! We're not sure if it's permanent or just for refitting of its host the Metropole.

I doubt that the area has seen such a thing before, and our lunch was so good (I...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clarkeology.com/m/469/Fig+Cafe&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fig Cafe&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/2581233622_801fd83ca2_m.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
