The DOVER express has details of the switch on gives half a page to Folkestone and half a page to Ashford who are not going to have a lights switch on, Dover gets 26 words!
Remind me how the hell they won an award!

Everything you need to know
here.
Following the ancient tradition started last year, Dover Tales will again be performing the story of St Martin and how he became the patron saint of Dover at various points in the town centre.

Sorry Bob meant they're not having a lighting up event. but my point that the DOVER EXPRESS continues giving far more column inches to our neighbouring towns, yet won an award for being the best LOCAL paper stands and Ashford gets the Ashford express given out free!

There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
