  Found this cutting whilst rummaging for odd bits of glass to repair a window. It's from the Dover Express a quarter of a century ago.
  
  

  

  
  
  Given that this idea might possibly be revived, what motto would you suggest?
  
  Rude ones on a postcard please!

  Don't know about entering but perhaps "Will the last shop to close please turn the lights out" might be more appropriate!

  Ne illegitimi carborundum.
  
  I have today discovered a community where the locals are more down on their town than the good burghers of Dover- Aldershot. Lots of ethnic shops in the town centre, they even seem to have displaced the charity shops. Found a Turkish grocery selling fresh dates flown in from Saudi Arabia. Fantastic. But the locals moan about it all. What a shame.
