A few Ramsgate photos from the last few days and some sort of ramble

 Only in Thanet could you have a tourist information map that doesn't show the town's tourist information office but shows one in a different Thanet town, i guess it's a good thing we don't get much in the way of tourists

 Not much movement on the Pleasurama site although some rumours that Cardy Construction are going to pay some of the repairs to the cliff facade.

 I find it strange the castellated building that houses Pete’s Fish Factory and the Belgian Café and appears on the 1822 map isn’t listed, anyway it has now sprouted an extra floor by enlarging the roof.

 There is a fairly large dredger on the slipway but no sign of the new development there.
 No sign of any activity on the Pavillion yet either.

The amount of sand at high tide on Ramsgate main sands is becoming very depleted

 No sign of any historic vessels on the historic boat pontoon either

 This is the view from the cafe in the new Sainsbury


 Salad, pot of tea and mince pie, good quality, just as if you had bought the ingredients from the supermarket, cost just over £5
a first attempt at sketching from here didn't work out too well, cars and large modern buildings fairly far away, something which may improve with practice.

And here is a bizarre one, the facebook page for the Manston Airport Independence Party. Shades of Python and Woodehouse https://www.facebook.com/manstonindependentparty?fref=nf


Anyway the screenshot gives you some idea; “An open letter to Leader Iris Johnston and the Cabinet. Ridiculous demands have being made by RiverOak” I think they are supposed to be on the same side as the American property hedgefund RiverOak but what they say seems to have got a bit muddled.

 All I can say is vote MAIP

    Meanwhile, Will Scobie was too busy watching ballet to attend last night's meeting (I guess he hasn't quite got the hang of the "Let's pretend I'm working class" bit), and Ian Driver seems to be avoiding TDC now that he owes them 20 Grand (as reported in last week's Gazette)... So IF this cpo eventually goes through, perhaps you should remember what your heroes were doing when they should've been representing you!

    I love the comment about Riveroak "breaking even in 18-24 months"

    If they are so confident that they can make such a profit so quickly, why don't they offer a decent amount to the current owners to take it off of their hands OR offer to go into partnership with them OR even go as far as saying that TDC can own the site and they just use it?

    Something doesn't add up and the Save Manston lot still don't care about doing any investigations into Riveroak....

Please note comments that may be libellous, comments that may be construed as offensive, anonymous derogatory comments about real people, comments baiting internet trolls, comments saying that an anonymous comment was made by a named real person, boring comments and spam comments, comments in CAPs will be deleted. Playground stuff like calling real people by their time stamp or surname alone, referring to groups as gangs, old duffers and so on will result in deletion. Comment quoting what people have said elsewhere on the internet must contain details of where and when the quotation is. Comment that may be construed as offensive to minority groups is not allowed here either, so think before you write it, remember that the internet is a public place, that it is very difficult to be truly anonymous and that everyone who uses it leaves a trail of some sort. Also note the facility to leave anonymous comment will be turned of during periods when I am unable to monitor comment, this will not affect people commenting who are signed on to their blogger accounts. When things are particularly difficult on the commercial spam front I may turn comment moderation on for periods.

If you feel that someone has left a comment that is offensive and directed at you personally please email me (link on the sidebar) asking to have it removed, you will need to tell which post and the date and timestamp of the offending comment. Please do not reply to the offending comment as I will assume you continuing the dialogue as meaning that you want the comments left there.
