Britannia Hotels have just bought the Grand Burstin Hotel from Grand Leisure Hotels, and show flats in that crazy crescent down on the sea front should be available to view any time now, one bed flats from only 89,500 and the three bed duplex penthouse for 249,500 I think... that bit of Folkestone is on the UP! Whatever they do, let them leave arm wrestling night at The Harbour alone...
This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake paper in an episode of Brasseye 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 get in touch if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
