  Dear Jan,
  
  I think you are not ameniable to other peoples right to comment on how they view the town.
  I have my opinion and you rightly have yours. It ill becomes either of us to start slinging brick bats at each other. I shall answer your points in the order you have placed them
  1.
  If we had the development that Paul Watkins has been promising us all (Me included) all these years there would be no unkempt shops, the town would have no need for them.
  2.
  No I would not want a situation where the poor and needy could not buy goods second hand,but surely even you can accept we do not need 10 charity shops. Commercial areas of a town by there very nature are supposed to encourage entraupenners not charity shops.
  3.
  
  No I would prefer the needy obtain good items of clothing, or anything else for that matter.
  4.
  Please refer to answer no3.
  5.
  And now for my most controversial observation.
  If it was not for people like me who "Whinge" as you put it, then what incentive is there for Mr Watkins and his chums to get on with improvimg the towns peoples lot. Cant say I have seen you getting angry about the state of affairs that is our lot in Dover. I do not know much about you but I am quite happy to tell you I have lived in Dover for 22 years and since the day |I came here the town has been on a down hill slide,Now surely you are not going to tell me I have got that wrong as well
  P.S.
  I was stationed at Dover castle in 1959,then Connaught barracks and I can tall you the town looked quite prosperous then, now look at it, a sorry site indeed
