Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

Yoinks, yesterday someone chucked themselves off the roof of Bouverie Square in Folkestone, and today the end of our road was sealed off by police because of a "scene". Police were stopping anyone getting close to what had happened, so a) we had to w...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

It was mentioned in the Folkestone Herald this week

Pick one of those up, I think there's a phone number in there, Starbucks are looking for fifteen "partners" (not employees, oh no, partners).

Is Nero that much better?

I can't remember the name of the one I like, possibly it's Nero, is that the one in the wonky old building in the middle of Canterbury?Where Costa and Starbucks lead maybe the others will follow... having a Starbucks in town's got to be a good thing ...

Let the coffee wars begin!

Councillor Dan Hassett says Starbucks are definitely coming to Folkestone now:There has been much speculation about Starbucks opening in Folkestone. I can finally confirm that they will be opening in the new Bouverie Place shopping centre. They have ...

Work continues apace at the shop

but the posters advertising for people to work at Costa (the only clue that it will be a Costa Coffee have VANISHED? Is this to be like the Starbucks saga - first mention of rumours of the store online and everyone backs away..? I hope not....

Costa Coffee coming to Folkestone

Costa Coffee are moving into Sandgate Road, in the old QS premises. the store opens in September, and they're currently advertising for employees.So, does this mean Starbucks still is, or they never were, or what? Did the Costa factoid confuse the ne...

Oh, in other news....The area that my new flat is in has just got a new Starbucks!!

Where's this Starbucks then..?

Nice long weekend in Sandgate, Folkestone, Hythe and Portchester

FINE weekend, thank you far asking, good long weekend too, but a bit tiring. Thursday was birthday day (my birthday and also the wife's birthday), and while we were working in the day we'd booked the Friday off so we could have a night out with no fe...

No progress on Starbucks yet

There are new security signs on the old Marks and Spencer, but who can tell what's going on behind those wooden boards...

ZZ blows his top

So what was said then? Must surely have been something racial. Man alive it's a dirty game.Cream-crackered today, don't feel like I rested for a second at the weekend, not only did we stay up far too late on Saturday, but we went OUT on a FRIDAY! Thi...

Is this the new Starbucks then?

I've not read The Herald this week, so sorry if this has already been established. I took this picture last weekend on the way back from the pub, and then the next day had NO IDEA where it was or why I'd taken it.http://static.flickr.com/76/178591934...

Meat Rumpus!

We don't seem to get nice gentle tales like this in our local paper, it's 90% council issues and 10% drink driving round our way, bah. Still The Herald is out again today, and I'll buy it again today, got to keep up with the latest news on the town.....

Hermione Norris

Her from Cold Feet, in the Starbucks on Kingsway, nearest to the United Grand Lodge building. I strongly suspect she was waiting there for filming to start of Spooks.

More chain fun

I've just remembered, the takeover of Ottakers by Waterstones has been approved by whoever it is that approves these sort of things (not the staff of Ottakers is my guess). What's this going to do for the town? Maybe Starbucks will move into the clos...

What am I, a scone?

Spent most of yesterday doing doctory things, had to head down to the surgery and register, see a nurse, fill forms, fill something else, etc. Then much hanging around until I could get to see a doctor. Too much of this was in the waiting room. Parts...

RE: As one store closes...

An old property investment adage has it that a good place to invest is somewhere that has a Blockbuster, but not yet a Starbucks. So Folkestone must be on the up.Dunno what the denizens of Folkestone would make of Fresh & Wild; probably think it was ...

Starbucks delayed until July

Further to my earlier comments about Starbucks, today's Herald has it that the store won't be opening until July now... do you think we put them off with the comments here? It also says in the paper that the Ciro Citterio store opposite Debenhams is ...

Yeah as I say it was before I lived there

Oh no, I sounded like one of those "Folkestone Arts" types... I loved Fresh and Wild, most people do, but I'm just saying that some people (the early adopter bohemian meeja types who lived in Stokey in the early '90s) see all chains as bad, but then ...

RE: It's another chain though

The villagyness of Stokey! - blimey pauly, delusions of grandeur! Folkestone is unfortunately not Highgate on sea and loosing M&S is a blow (it's been here for 80 years I heard) and so even a chain such a Starbucks can only be a good thing. The more ...

RE: Where starbucks lead, yo below will follow

fresh and wild, now THAT would be fabulous! Let's start a petition to get them here!

Where starbucks lead, yo below will follow

Hmm, that's another chain, and lots of people don't like them, but I'd rather have a few quality chains like Nandos, Fresh and Wild, Pizza Express and so on, than street after street of independent pound shops.Is there such a thing as English Sushi? ...

RE: As one store closes...

Getting a Starbucks is not a sign of regeneration... They are everywhere. They're just expanding their presence. They just don't have one here yet. Simple as that.A sushi bar opening up in Folkestone - that would be a sign of regeneration... and of m...

RE: As one store closes...

Starbucks "Only in it for the money" - no sh*t! Folkestone need companies like this to help bring it back to life.

RE: As one store closes...

Having a Starbucks is not a good thing, what will happen to all those little cafes on our street corners, particularly the fabulous Chambers? Starbucks will not provide healthy competition as some people might think,they are a multinational company ...
