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.

Not before time!!!!! But like most promises in Thanet I'll believe it when it happens
ReplyDeleteI think this is a welcome development isn't it Michael ?
ReplyDeleteTony Beachcomber is in touch with people with such expertise in local and aviation history. It seems to me that the missing ingredient to harness that to a Museum Service, worthy of the name, is good will.
I wonder if Ralph Hoult and Tony could promote the good will ... let bygones be bygones ... the former trustees of EKMT are now out of the picture ...
And thus a resource of volunteer expertise could be availed to the new museum service.
As far as I am able to tell the Steam Museum has £267,000 of Butler Trust money to spend in Thanet. Let's see that Cervia restoration get going.
Michael I retired today by the way. Just blogging on weights and other training in lung disease now.
I may still contribute helpful pointers to your own blog threads of course

ReplyDeleteSurely not razor blades its killed enough people as it is!
