The post you are reporting:
Totally agree with most of keiths post, but I do miss Woolies. You could get a vast array of stuff there, and my girls always enjoyed spending their pocket money in there, and was brilliant for getting good quality school wear made by ladybird.
You can still buy school stuff in Dover but it's either over priced, or cheap and lasts a fraction of the time.
Some of our local shops don't always help themselves by being competative in price, and a prime example of this is Dixons. Went there the other day to get a black ink jet cartridge for my printer. £17.22 for a black cartridge. I walk up to Argos and get the Exact same one for £8.49. Is it any wonder when there is such a huge difference in price that people choose to go somewhere like Argos, instead of using our smaller shops?
Roger's post hits the nail on the head about Dover and what it needs, and he finishes by saying "who's going to be given the task and when?"
Well in my opinion the town is missing out BIG TIME by not asking Roger to take on the job. His track record
with the loyalty scheme speaks for itself, he dragged it up by it's boot straps and made it work. Yes I know he called it a day, but that was down to people not using the service to full advantage, but you cannot say that Roger didn't promote every business within the scheme. Even now he sends regular updates on special offers being run, or special events at places like Sal Verte.
The town has a great assest in Roger and we are not making full use of his talent, and it is time we should
