No, it's a joy to finally some wit and sarcasm instead of and at the expense of the cancerous negativity beloved of so many Thanet residents who can't see beyond the value of their neighbour's house prices on the online property selling sites.<br /><br />Well good luck to Euroferries. I shall use it next time I am there. Hopefully they shan't be discouraged by the "I've been here longer than them" brigade. Considering the utter mess Thanet remains in, it appears that some incomers, who might just have fresh ideas, might not be such a bad thing. <br /><br />One attempt at constrctive comment - I'm not sure I'd bother with a coach service, though. Sounds like an expensive drain on resources when they could perhaps have done a deal with Airport Connections or Nat Express.
