Here I am, looking for a nice non political topic to start.

. Deal yesterday, a glorious warm sunny day, and a touch of Dover plantation`s. Are we twinned with Deal?

we were all wondering where you were colin.
seems a long time since you last posted, i will call the dogs off now.
Phew - no-one noticed that Colin and I ceased posting at the same time.............and are now back. What can I be suggesting...?
Don't worry Colin - I am too old and tired to move fast enough to catch you!!!

No worries Bern, I shall slow down to ensure you catch me.

Actually, the title of this thread was an alternative to the `where is our MP then?` thread, a little p... taking on my part, with no politic`s involved.

Sorry Colin, that's not Deal. That's Strand/Dover Rd, Walmer.
Big difference, like River or Whitfield not being Dover.
Big diplomatic gaffe!!!!

Ooop`s, apologies to all, I`ve always thought this was all Deal. Thank you for that Paul. Good job I`m not out for people voting for me!

Walmer ,effectively starts at Deal Castle on the seaward side as you head towards Dover. Not hard to be confused, Colin. The Bandstand and former Royal Marine's Barracks are all in Walmer.

It's all beautiful, whatever its name! The coast is somehow more radiant along there - same as Kingsdown, where it always seems just a bit magical.

i get confused as to where walmer ends and deal starts.
no problem with the outlying villages of river and whitfield though.

I can`t say Howard I`ve ever seen a sign saying you are now entering Deal. I`ve seen the Walmer signpost. Have to keep an eye open next time I`m that way, though someone on here maybe able to enlighten us.
