The paragraph in this article that reads as follows:
‘Ramsgate (The Kent Coast at its best) Pictorially Presented’ a ‘guide book’ of the 1930’s, on its section on Broadstairs describes the town as: ‘a very conservative place which, for example, has enjoyed a sequence - not revival - of nigger minstrelsy (which) is outstanding in these days. (concluding) Tradition and progress is a judicious mixture at Broadstairs.’ A.H.Simison, a photographic chemist of St. Lawrence, Ramsgate, the publisher of this photo tour of Thanet describes Broadstairs as having developed ‘always with a consistent policy of retaining those characteristics for which it has for so long been renowned.’
...is not intended to cause offence, but is an accurate record of the language of the time, slightly quaint and rustic, before political corretness was an issue.
It is included here because an encyclopedia must avoid political bias and reflect the broardest possible interpretation of any given subject.
I do not object to its removal if it is thought to be discriminatory, but uphold the opinion it is not, but informs accurately on the period discussed.Faedra
[edit] Format change
I reverted because the most recent format change made the page look untidy with gaps, and with the box straddling two sections. Was there a reason for the change? SlimVirgin 07:59, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

- Apologies. I use the Cologne Blue skin and my version of the page looks better in that skin. Having looked at it in the original skin I see your point. S. Mrsteviec 08:53, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I had no idea they would make things look different in that way. No need for the apology, but thanks for it anyway. Best, SlimVirgin 08:58, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
