The colouration in this lot is not so good and in some cases
the yellow peril seems to have got a bit out of hand.
Some dating points, Granville tower shortened so after 1899,
no Westcliff Hall so before 1914, Pavilion built so after 1904
An eclectic batch of books in the bookshop today see http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/will-you-be-quiet-please-in-bookshop.html
Been one of those days of bad internet buying experiences
which are very time consuming and make me realise why the bookshop is doing ok
at the moment.
There is nothing on earth like filling in a few online forms
to make me want to do all of my shopping in proper physical shops and yet I
often make for the automated checkout in the supermarket.
I have also been trying to reason with the council about
building new social housing on King Street with the bedroom windowsills at
about knee height. Trying to get across to them that it is bound to go down the
road of bad tenants on the ground floor and eventually souring the whole
development is an education. Speaking to individual officers , well the all
obviously agree with what I am saying, there can be few of us who haven’t at
some time or another, pubbed, clubbed and eventually wound up at the takeaway
at about 4.30 am. Trying to get this converted into some sort of council action
where the design is modified so the flats are habitable, well that seems
impossible.
In a way it’s very like trying to get anywhere with the
Pleasurama issue inasmuch as everyone can see that building residential
accommodation on flood zone designated high risk is bonkers without first doing
a flood risk assessment, the closest you ever get is opposition councillors
saying there should be one. Once they are in power it’s another matter.

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.
