We had a nice long walk in town and decided to have a cool of in The Pullman. Went in there about a year back and they let us in with a kid. Yesterday (21.5.2010) we tried to go in again and were told that they don't allow kids in with a somewhat snotty attitude from the bar staff lady. And this was about 1500-1600. Its not like we would have let the kids run around or anything as we wanted to sit in the garden but we could not even do that. I hate to say it but they will NEVER see me back there if they want to be that way.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when I 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 handy 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 Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from the name of a pretend paper 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 GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
