Apologies to those that thought they were in for a treat, the link should have read “Readers Writes”.
This is where I will be publishing any letters that come my way, either knocking my attempts at site building or to give me encouragement.
Feel free to let me know what you think of the content, and how you would like to see the newly designed site to progress.
I look forward to hearing from you.
All letters will get a response, but I will never print your name or e-mail address (unless you ask me to).

Just a quick note of thanks for a very entertaining and darkly ironic site.
I was born in Whitstable in '64 and have lived on and off there for years, seen it transformed, twisted and become something odd. I'm writing a couple of novels and Whitstable features in them a little (and like you, with a loving tongue stuck firmly in a cheek... now there's a disturbing image) and your site made me laugh, so thanks very much!

Hi ?
I just wanted to say that what a brilliant job you have done on this site. I enjoyed it way better than the "official" sites. I have to say too that your photographs are exceptional.
It was great to se a lot of places that I know. I now live in Australia and have done so since 1979. I lived in Swalecliffe in Herne Bay Rd. The pictures of the bus stuck under the bridge by Swalecliffe station bought back memories of the chip shop, opposite where we used to hang out as kids. When I lived there, Whitstable seemed such a dull place,maybe that's why I buggered off and joined the Royal Navy to pursue a career in diving.
I have been back a few times the latest being in 2004. Whitstable has changed a lot since then. All those people from London have moved into the area, now it seems to be a trendy place to live which seems ironic to me. Wheelers had not changed at all from when I used to go in there as a teenager and eat huge amounts of cockles after a few pints.
Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for bringing back a lot of memories.
Kind Regards
