There's a new Camden style retro shop opened in Folkestone. Today was the first day of opening, just low key at the moment, they're going to launch properly in a couple of weeks, I'm sure they'll [reply]invite me along for the champagne reception[/reply].
Unfortunately I completely forget what it was called :-( It's on the road where The Pullman is that goes to The Bayle. Check them out. The counter is a ship-shaped cocktail bar, and they sell the kind of clothes you wish you could find in charity shops.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
