    Riasing much needed funds by way of charity shops is a uniquely British thing and does encourage people to bring footfall into the Town centre, whereas in Europe once a shop closes that can be it. I have seen recently whole towns in France that no longer have a single functioning shop because of the multi nationals opening out of town. Those shopfree towns are a very depressing sight.
    There is a book by Lorraine Sencicle that quotes how many shops Dover had about 100 years ago and it said there were 35 milliners amongst others, so shops closing cannot be a new phenomonem.
    Jimmy I would accept your caustic comments about Dover and Paul W if they were tempered with your solution to filling empty shops but as they are not your comments are merely the ramblings of a 'grumpy old man'.
    Perhaps if you believe you have the solutions required we can all look forward to seeing your name on a ballot paper in May
