Speed and "speed" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about speed. If you have something to contribute concerning speed that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return speed pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try speed on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...

As it turns out there are no pubbing / places concerning speed anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
