  No prizes for guessing who it is.

  From comments I have recently read the high standard of Rooks has deteriorated recently since their move.
  
  I have not used them since their move to the Market Square so I can not judge this perception.

  Net profit seems incredibly low. For such effort.
  
  Chief Executive of the Dover Harbour Board earns that.

  Only the shops for sale and not the factory and I believe they own a farm so they will still be heavily involved business wise.

  Judging by the small profit I think we can assume some shops are making a loss.
  
  The triumph of advanced consumer capitalism - the arrival of a national chain always pushes out local independents.
