Did you see Folkestone on TV last night?

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Nice pub, nice location

Bit pricey though I think. Maybe I don't put my hand in my pocket often enough, but three quid for a pint of bitter and one pound eighty for a diet coke seems a bit excessive to me.Lovely to sit out in there garden though, it's the only place within ...
