Hello
I wish to complain about the sign on the London Road coming into Ramsgate. See photo (taken yesterday) attached.
I used to alternate between saying "Welcome to Ramsgate" and various other messages, it then got stuck on saying "Please park in designated places" I think this is an entirely inappropriate and unnecessary message to display to people coming into a tourist town.
I would also like to ask the following as an FOI request.
1 Which council is responsible for this sign?
2 Which council department is responsible for this sign?
3 What have been the costs of supplying and maintaining this machine?
Best regards Michael

Due to the nature of Clown Computing this email has been sent to you from some sort of fruit, it may make you more comfortable to know the following:- If it makes sense, it was sent by my PineApple Device, which has an ordinary keyboard. If it contains random wrong words, it was sent by my RaspBerry Device, which has predictive text and a small screen that I can’t always see properly. If it makes no sense whatsoever, it was sent by my new BaNana Device, with which I develop the persona of a chimpanzee and hit keys randomly hoping it will produce the works of Shakespeare, or at least something coherent

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.
