Council misplace Olympic Torch Route
8 comments:
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.
Michael why ask this is Thanet and TDC are inept in all areas
ReplyDeleteThe council`s route is much better. King Street is a bit of an eye-sore.
ReplyDeleteThe only Olympic event in ramsgate and they get it wrong. Sack them.
ReplyDeleteObviously the TDC map was produced for them by the Isle of Thanet Gazette who recently claimed that the refurbished Charles Dickens pub was The Old Charles which is several miles distant.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Why are we not surprised ?
ReplyDeletePeter, I too get this impression. The trouble is that none of them has the gumption to find out.
ReplyDeleteFor the benefit of the TDC officer responsible, Ramsgate & Margate can be found at the following location: 30degs 51'.39" S 30degs 21' 29.95" E. Well lets not quibble, it's close enough. Is it time to go home yet. It must be gone four.
ReplyDeleteWhat about St. Lawrence the oldest and original part of Ramsgate where the 'Torch' Was advertised as going?. Instead it diverted at Nethercourt Circus and went along London Road. Perhaps there are more wealthy people there or officials.
