The Wheel

Postby Section8Bassist » 21 May 2006, 11:39

I have to say the wheel does look rather good along the seafront. It should be the foundations for restoring dreamland - Business has declined to a unbearable level now, the decline of dreamland has sucked the lifeblood out of our (used to be) great town.
My grandfather , Henry Smith ran dreamland from (i think) 1975 - mid 1980's a (it was ran by him when the only fools and horses episode was recorded) and although i was not born then (i'm only 16) i have seen many pictures and videos of what dreamland was like back then....simply amazing.
he now runs 'space city gifts' with my uncle and mother down margate seafront, and even that used to be very busy in the summer, now its just dead. My mum is best friends with Julia Godden, Mr g's ex wife, and she knows whats hes up to as well as all of us....HOW DOES HE GET AWAY WITH IT???
Dude where's my car?

Unless ofcourse a certain couple of conservative councillors have the answer. I wonder what makes them so supportive...something in the air? But you're right, it looks like we'll never know.
