  Keith, you ask why does Folkestone thrive, perhaps it is because:-
  1/ It has a delightful harbour with cafe bars, pubs, a market and a sandy beach.
  2/ It has hotels, one being the Burstin, geared to tourist trade.
  3/ There is a reasonable nightlife, catering for most tastes.
  4/ The Leas where you can walk, enjoy views of the channel and if you so wish have something to eat and drink.
  5/ They have a more vibrant council that it is not afraid to look to the future.
  These are just a few points there are of course others but i'm trying to keep it brief.
  Now look at Dover in comparison.
  1/ The key part of the seafront occupied by a block of flats.
  2/ No tourist type hotels.
  3/ Little nightlife.
  4/ Few decent cafe bars, pubs or restaurants and certainly none on the seafront.
  5/ A town that is afraid to look to the future and still lives for the second World War.
  Sue it would be interesting to know how you would like Dover to be.
