                                Is Ramsgate still as much of a shithole as it used to be? Haven't been there since I moved up north 20 years ago.

                                    It is a funny mixture.

                                    Very stoned cadaver-like zombies sitting around on benches, lots of public day drinking (slightly more vocal zombies), proper punch-ups in the street (we got involved in one at 8pm on Sat night, lot of blood involved - not ours) but a really great selection of restaurants. Met a whole slew of lovely people, but mostly they were visitors in the marina......
