I would like to say thanks to Ken?? and Keith Sansum1,
Both of your comments are practically friendly, although I shall not push my luck!!
I think the main point of my diatribe has become a bit obscured.
I really do not have any objection to charity shops, provided they do not become the main stay of the commercial heart of the town., which I am sad to say seems to be the case.
Lets face it if our dear leader prefers to do his shopping in Deal or Canterbury why has no one had the guts to ask him why he does not shop in Dover?? could'nt be the quality of the shops, could it??
Ken,
As a mere 69 year old you have to appreciate that us old uns (71) have to slow down ,not by choice but by nature. Once upon a time I also was a very active man, why, I would get up a sweat making a cup of tea, As for walking round to the corner shop for my paper I was always properly attired, running shoes, sweat band shorts and of.course the obligatory dog on a lead. I have had to fore go all these physical pleasures. If you can do all those things you claim you can do then I am exceedingly jealous!!
