Didn't we already know Vasa was becoming a Costa?

Didn't we already know Vasa was becoming a Costa?

Now it has been confirmed... I was hoping it was actually the group that owns Costa that had bought it and it would become a pub, but no. Does seem odd, it's not even right in Sandgate will they get enough footfall? Guess they know something we don't and it will be worthwhile for them. Can't see us ever going in it though.

This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend 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 GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
