I won't pass any comment on the following, except to say that my hilarity on reading it caused some concern amongst fellow passengers on the Margate to Victoria train.

Obviously, any views expressed in the Isle of Thanet Gazette in no way reflect the views of the Save Dreamland Campaign.

From the Isle of Thanet Gazette Letters Page, 13 Feb:

"Give him a medal
As a former pilot I was pondering if Thanet Council has considered contacting the German government to nominate Jimmy Godden for an Iron Cross. He has been unfortunate enough to be connected to the destruction of this area on a scale the Luftwaffe could not better.
Ramsgate seafront, Margate seafront, Folkestone seafront and now it seems the hotels at Cliftonville. Surely bad luck on this scale deserves some recognition?
Group Capt Tony Bennett (RAF retired), Ramsgate."

Hi sarah,
Only one medal ? He is tring his best.

I can`t think of anything at all which Mr Godden has done for years which has been positive for the area. All of his decisions seem to have been designed purely to increase his personal wealth.

You would have thought that 30 million was enough, but apparently not.


I suppose he`s got his point of view though. If you ever visit this forum Jimmy, as I suspect you do, then you are welcome to "say your thing".

The problem with putting your money into property or land is that you can only free up the money when it is sold, or when you claim on the insurance.
