Is "Iconic" the most over used word in Thanet?

It seems that every building in Thanet that the nimbys either want to whine about, or wish to use toi defend some other cause they want to whine about gets labeled as iconic.

Surely Iconic should mean just that.

Lets look at what has been called iconic, and what it REALLY is for a moment;

Arlington Tower - Iconic = 18 story slum
Dreamland - Iconic = derelict amusement park, past it's sell by date a LONG time ago
Scenic railways - Iconic = burnt out, past it roller coaster, surpassed many many years ago
Pleasurama - Iconic - no
Ramsgate Royal harbour - iconic = small harbour, with royal in the title. How many visited because the word "royal" appears in the title I wonder..
The slipways at Ramsgate harbour - Iconic = unprofitable ex industrial equipment

I could go on and on, but I think that will suffice to show what these clueless clowns are worth.
