This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for those 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. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye 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 get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
