I was working as a waitress in a cocktail.... No, no, no, I was working as a waitress in a seafront hotel in Ramsgate and was being paid 20p AN HOUR (this in 1975 or so) and a bottle of Cresta was also 20p. That advert brought it all back, thanks for that Red Devil! After having my purse stolen by a customer I told the manager to stuff their 20p and walked out, and got a job working as a waitress in a cocktail b.... nooooo, in a seafront caf? in Margate. Much better pay!


And yes, CHAMPAGNE!!!!!!!!

The Cherry Cola.

And Cream Soda.

Margate's on the up. First the Turner Contemporary art gallery, and now a new ITV comedy/drama, Edge of Heaven, based on an 80's themed guest house in Margate. What's not to like? :)

SMBS make their own. Prices fluctuate...

    • Thanks, I had googled!    There is loads of info online, but I just wondered if anyone locally had more specific knowledge. It looks like it's probably too early for it to nest, but nevertheless I don't want to drive it away, as I like having birds in my garden!

    • I've just seen a wren in my garden ❤️ I haven't seen one there for years, though of course it may have been there, just hiding. Unfortunately it seems I may  have left it too late to cut back my thug of a Holboellia. I just googled (re the wren, not the Holboellia)  but I'm still unsure. I don't want to drive the wren away if it's about to build a nest in there (or has one already). Can anyone who knows more about wrens than me advise? Also, as the Holboellia flowers have a wonderful scent later on, I probably should have cut it back after it flowered last year 🙄
