News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
I have just received the following from Clive Heart: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.
Thats great news! maybe now all the anti-airport people will move back where they came from!
ReplyDeleteA small tunnel in the depths of Ramsgate perhaps?
ReplyDeleteHilarious.
ReplyDeleteLike a failing pub adding a few umbrellas to the beer garden.
As for the £10,000 - why not donate it to a Ramsgate Lung / Asthma charity?
I'm sure that cars, coaches & lorries cause more damage to our lungs than a few planes, but I don't see many people trying to discourage those in Thanet (plenty of whining about lack of parking spaces or parking charges though!).
ReplyDeleteIf ToyTown Airport get's it's way, the roads will be clogged with freight lorries as well.
ReplyDeleteYour logic is great.
GOOG NEWS!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWorst possible news for Ramsgate. If it's going to create all these jobs they promise (it hasn't so far), why not realign the runway and make the planes fly over Margate? After all, it couldn't get any deader on its arse could it?
ReplyDeleteAnd think again before you dream of that Benidorm holiday - it'll just be crates of rotten fruit flying in and out.
It's dole-by-the-sea all over again but this time with wings.
Note to all- the people who agree with the airport- night flights, expansion, pollution, noise etc...mainly live in Margate, Broad-bean-stairs or Sandwich even St. Nicholas...who don't have any of the flying rust buckets flying over all the time!...the airport is not sustainable enough for a passenger airport...the people will not stay in Thanet as (1)there is nothing to do and two most of the people rnd here don't work...since when do piolets live here...it it would create jobs as much as a housing scheme would...for the majority of the time in its construction...then the builders move on! Maybe...building on the airport wouln't be a bad idea? :-)
ReplyDeleteLived at Nethercourt when the American Air-force were based at Manston with thunder jets taking off and landing around the clock, yes they make a lot of noise a lot more noise than the modern aircraft using Manston now. We had
Deleteno right to complain as we moved to Nethercourt after the airport was developed. The people who are trying to put Manston airport out of business by complaining every time the airport attempts to move their forward business will only achieve in making Thanet a more depressed area than it already is. Do not complain just move away.
If you moved to thanet or were born after the airport was developed you have no right to try and remove one of the only assets Thanet has.
GET A LIFE AND STOP TRYING TO DRIVE THANET IN TO GREATER DEPRESSION.
