Taking and "taking" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about taking. If you have something to contribute concerning taking that is not mentioned here, please chip in. 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 taking 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 general search please try taking on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...
