The king and "the king" related stuff, including venues, pubs, gigs and blog posts about the king. If you have anything to contribute concerning the king that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have anything to contribute concerning local pubs or other venues, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other places it will only return the king pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. It will hopefully return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try the king on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...
