RE: Something apparently "as pikey as Wilkinsons" to open in Folkestone - 10762

Shop owners tend to do market research, which is why M&S closed down, why Sainsbury's in town can't sell any of their top-end lines and why we're getting a Wilko rather than a Waitrose. You can't expect a bevvy of blue-rinse bingo-bothering biddies to turn their back on a lifetime of industrial-strength girdles and tinned food just because a few newcomers fancy a bit of a property boom.

This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fever of excitement when we first moved here sometime in '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful resource for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just 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. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
