One of the owners of No6 Brasserie on Market square was in partnership with someone to develope this new restaurant, except this guy decided to nick all the money, not pay the rent or service bills and the recievers closed a perfectly good business down. Margate is struggling and its not being helped by scum like this guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-24760981198098997752010-03-24T19:45:05.934+00:002010-03-24T19:45:05.934+00:00It takes three years for a business to become esta...It takes three years for a business to become established and therefore 'thriving'.

They are like a Band Aid on a gaping wound.<br /><br />That is not small minded pettiness, as you call it. Small minded pettiness is a council that is based in Margate spending tens of millions in Margate, mainly to line the pockets of its greedy supporters, with no great benefit to the place, and to the detriment of the other towns on the island.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-23634730241110522432010-03-19T20:27:03.471+00:002010-03-19T20:27:03.471+00:00Amazing how much of this site is dedicated to slag...Amazing how much of this site is dedicated to slagging off Margate. <br /><br />We all know it has problems, however the old town is starting to look busy with plenty of new starts and excellent established businesses such as Cafe G and the Harbour Cafe. <br /><br />Sad when small minded bloggers can not see beyond local pettiness.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445989927403226283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-12394477660818364352010-03-18T16:32:15.748+00:002010-03-18T16:32:15.748+00:00The truth is, 3.27pm that successive local governm...The truth is, 3.27pm that successive local governments in Thanet, blue or red, have pissed money up the wall on hare - brained schemes no good for the area.
