An “Independent” view of Ramsgate.

I have just noticed the post “Restaurant Praised, Ramsgate Rubbished in Independent” see http://eastcliffrichard.blogspot.com/2009/11/restaurant-praised-ramsgate-rubbished.html and thought their view of Ramsgate seemed a bit warped.

Anyway I just shot down the road to pick up the some tomatoes for lunch and tried to take some pictures, not easy as there were so many people in the way, what with that and being pretty streamed up about a national paper rubbishing the town where I live they didn’t come out too well see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop/id15.htm
anyway I am off to put a pretty stiff comment on their website.

The pictures from this morning’s walk aren’t quite as bad as the previous lot see http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop/id14.htm although I may yet still get the award for the world’s worst photographer for the odd one.

Making some explanation about restaurant reviews to my two eight year olds resulted in us all making our own lunch and having a competition to see who’s was best, click on the link for the pictures http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop/id16.htm mine was the top one, the middle one, my youngest’s won.

Update I did manage it in the end see http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/reviews/age--sons-charlotte-court-ramsgate-kent-1814670.html if you don’t mind filling in an online form, you could go along and comment that your town is not that bad.

    they might be shoppers but cannot see one person in your photos wearing a poppy for remembrance hence the visit to the market and charity shops to by a bargain but not to afford a couple of pence for a poppy try a photo on a normal shopping day without the market ithink you will find a lot less people

    18.43 market day was Friday the picts were taken today, badly I admit. Bit early for poppies I think the locals were checking on the youf (locals) in battle tunics for possible repercussions, I bought mine from the prettiest (girl) a pound, been going on here for nearly 100 years but I didn’t have all day.

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.
