So does this mean the new high speed rail link is up and running for everyone now? From Ashford to London only I'm guessing, that's the bit of the journey where you'd notice the biggest difference anyway...

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, and I know 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 The town is becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake 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 great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
