Perhaps there will be some movements with some of his 'investment' sites now.... ???
Been nice knowing you :)

Any relation to Maidstone's own Jimmy Godden the actor who died in 1955?
The people at somewhere called 'folkestonegerald' are bound to be a bit cut-up on hearing this news.

I automatically thought of 'our' JG as well Brian, what a relief when I realised it was not.

Sad that his idea of an investment was to let things go to rack and ruin and spend no money on them... and just leave them like it until they are needed as part of another development and flog them off at a huge profit...

From the little I managed to read of his doings I am left wondering if the phantom fire-starter will carry on his grizzly work?
