Restored to full health, and wealth, beside the sea

The Telegraph does a feature on Folkestone property... Good work! They say:

For several very good reasons, this town is abuzz. The Channel Tunnel is just up the road, its to London is being extended into Folkestone's two stations in 2009 and will offer a journey time to St Pancras of just 53 minutes. But better than that, the place has its own billionaire, bent on investing in its future.

I will track this down - perhaps one was removed for being irrelevant spam, so the replies to that are lost in the system somewhere... I will track it down in a sec!

I have attached the lost replies to the original now, so a) they're back but b) the whole thread of things will make no sense!

Who are you btw, why you leave no name? Too much anonymity on this site!

I love Folky

It was me guv! Too much brandy for a rewrite? Just to say I'm glad I've relocated to Folky - when it was still thought of as(undeservedly)a dump by some. That's better, where's the brandy..

Wish I'd got in sooner

I found out the flat I bought was half the price the last time it sold, two years before I bought it... two years before that it was probably free!

Not sure about "Folky" though, it sounds a bit like old fogey... we're trying to encourage 'Stoney as a shortened form, reckon it'll work? It's a bit contrived I know...

Stoney!

err.. dunno if I like it, evokes a picture of Dungeness/Greatstone? I'm sure I picked up 'Folky' from this forum - hands up who coined it! Price hike, when I got my deeds and stuff I saw what the seller had originaly paid for my place - cripes, they had trebled their profit in 6 years. Could do with a Tardis and pop back 10 years and buy half a dozen places and still have change for a curry?

Really don't like Folky though, it's like "old folk" and "folk round here don't like change" and things... hmm, that describes most of my West End neighbours actually!
