Accident on the St Peters Margate Road on Saturday
“I believe it was a young lad on his bicycle-pulling out of the track that runs from Millmead onto the main road, and hit by a car..he died..may he rest in peace..”
Ed. I should like to express my sincere sympathy to his family and friends.
Update unfortunately this story is now confirmed as being true.
More details of this tragic event have appeared on the Gazette website click here to read the article.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
