Ramsgate High Street, a thing of beauty is a joy forever, Thanet council cuts and some sort of ramble

The scaffolding has just come of the building in the High Street and it now looks like the picture above.

Embarrassing this as I can’t for the life of me think what it looked like before, I am pretty certain that it was a lot shorter and at some time I must have taken pictures of it and put them on the internet somewhere.

Not exactly a carbuncle, more of a nonentity, I can’t even remember what shop it was before the town centre changed due to Westwood Cross, it was probably a clothes shop or a shoe shop and I guess they don’t register that much with me.

As you can see we have got some of the highest cuts in council spending http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30537288 I guess no surprises there. 
Oddly enough up my end of King Street in Ramsgate, we have a restaurant topping tripadvisor see http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186314-d6548468-Reviews-Il_Tricolore-Ramsgate_Isle_of_Thanet_Kent_England.html a new pub The Ravensgate Arms has been opened by the Late Knights brewery http://www.lateknightsbrewery.co.uk/ This has has a bit of a chequered past recently as Maguires / Hamilton Tavern but now looks to become a much better venue and as I have been saying my bookshop is much busier.

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.
