Reply from Thanet council

Maybe Christmas comes early, after several weeks of enquiries concerning the purchase of the Marks and Spencer building, I have now had two replies from different council officers both confirming that there will shortly be an announcement concerning the above.

Just as a side issue why are employees of Thanet District Council "officers", does this mean that they're all trained at Sandhurst, should we salute?

Anyway it is great to have a reply, and I would like to thank these officers for their polite and courteous response.
