my understanding is that the totesport turf accountants was robbed, although there was an ambulance there, i don't think that anyone was injured.

Breaking News
After a recent shooting incident and following an armed raid on a bookies Dover Town Council(after an emergency all night fully expenses paid sitting in the Chamber) have decided to rename Dover as Dodge City. Sherrif Nigel Earp Collor said " I aim to clean up the streets of Dodge and free them from potholes and cobbles".
Vic Outlaw Matcham said that the town was in dire need of UKIP jurisdiction.

That's right Howard.
I was down in Town about 1pm and there were about 4 police cars and the ambulance.
I was going to post it on here, but you beat me to it - DF's roving reporter, well done.
Someone in Town said there was a stabbing somewhere recently, then with the shooting the other day, it's not good for those concerned, or the Town.
Back to work.

Maybe I am extra sensitive having discovered I have been living opposite a gunman, I do not find Marek's post in the least funny.

Ah dont be too sensitive there Jan although I understand your concerns, but its just a bit of satire there from Marek but you can see the point...if it is indeed the case that a woman was stabbed today as Melinda says there, as well as the shooting, then it is all going rather lawless.
The police did reassure us in former times (about a year and a half ago at a Neighbourhood Forum Meeting at the Town Council offices) that compared to elsewhere Dover was a good place to live. Is that changing?
Well done Howard with the picture..man on the spot!

jan
Looks like I Ricky Gervais-ed myself. Apologies no harm intended but just a bit of light hearted banter. Those that know me on the DF know that I would not wish any harm on anyone bar Vic but then he can take it

Sorry all I had a hectic morning at the shop and came home tired and irritable.
Marek,
I know you meant no harm normally I would have laughed but this shooting so near to my home and then finding out a bit more bad information about the boy this morning has shaken all of us who live near him.
Paul,
no I do not think it is changing, it is because this area is so law abiding as a rule that the shooting hit us so much.

it was a funny post, unless someone has been closely involved.
spot on there jan, dover is a very safe town, the police are right on this one.
i suspect that the bookies raid was effected by people who reside far from here, those raids usually are.

They must have seen what went on though and saw the robber make his getaway; whether they would, or more like it, could, give a description is another matter.
