  Your are right Roger it was only last night I was talking to you about.
  Yes T.B.B. stands for Town Business Bureau.
  I have to go out now but later I will tell you about it and like always I would like you have your say [Good or Bad] I do not care.
  I have been puting my T.B.B. plan together for some time now,and I am hopeing to put this plan to the Business and both Dover Councils.
  I like most of you was sorry to see T.C.M. go but it has so we must move on.
  One of the main players in this plan is the Dover Loyalty Scheme I have already had a talk with Roger about the plan.
  
  I remain yours faithfully Vic Matcham

  Oh noooo..I can see this scheduled for the Dubris column!!
  
  But fair does Vic, good luck with it as any new ideas are always good to hear.
  
  Roger has himself almost stepped into a town manager role as he sends out emails to his card members regularly keeping them informed of whats going on locally.

  Oh for goodness sake! Is there no end to this torment?
  He seems to think he can single handedly run Dover. How many more silly ideas is he going to have before he wakes up to himself and realises he's making himself a laughing stock!!
  He was told by several people last year that he will never win an election, never be taken seriously and would be better off saving his money. Did he listen? No he didn't because his ego is so big it keeps him away from the real world.
  Maybe if he concentrated on just one thing, like helping Keith with his youth club, he would be taken more seriously but he doesn't do anything without coming on here and trying to make himself look big. It ain't working mate - you are so boring!!
  If anyone could take on the mantle of TCM it would be Roger, a man who works quietly and successfully for Dover - without constantly looking for praise. As soon as we learnt that the carnival wouldn't go ahead along came Mr Matcham who would hold it on River recreation ground. How he thought River could cope with all the traffic etc that would have generated he completely overlooked because he has all these ideas and doesn't think them through.
  I'm sorry if I sound harsh but it's not just me who feels this way, several people I've spoken to recently have said the same things. These little "I know something you don't and I'll tell you when I'm ready" postings are straight from a school playground. Grow up Mr Matcham and stop boring us with all this rubbish
  Sue is right - boring boring boring!
  There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

  Loved your post but
  It's water off a ducks back...to coin a phrase Your wasting your breath ..to coin another.Where theres no sense ther's no feeling said my old dad.Vic doesn't appear to care less as to what people think or say about him.
  I am sure Vic has good intentions but maybe some of his ideas are misplaced and ill conceived.
  I always thought that if Roger had been running the TCM it would be thriving today.

  Hi Marek,
  
  You are so right I know, no sense no feeling - your dad was right lol Well if he's so thick that he can't see what everyone else does ...............
  
  I totally agree about Roger too - he would have been great as TCM manager. I'm not knocking the other guy, but Roger knows Dover so well, and what it needs. A missed opportunity methinks.
  
  Mr Matcham - no point in posting about you because you don't listen to anyone but yourself. As for meeting you - you have no chance!! I'm fussy who I mix with!

  Vic - so how many businesses have you actually talked to about this 'Town Business Plan'?
  
  You have not talked to the Dover District Chamber of Commerce as far as I know? No good talking to Councils - they are the worse people to talk to about business as they really have no idea at all....In anything like this you need significant business support.
  
  So what business expertise would you be bringing to the table and what business backing?
  
  Are you not going off on your own on a tangent without even considering about what serious business organisations might already be thinking, or even planning? Would that not be a bit silly and counter productive?
  
  Vic - I am sorry mate but your plan would be totally lacking any credability with the Councils without serious business backing and that is the first step.
  
  I and the Chamber have already had some talks with certain people, including Roger and DDC.

  I think Roger should be the man to deal with this. Roger obviously has a proven track record now, showing what can be done. Just look how far he has come with the Loyalty scheme.
  
  For me, when it comes to the businesses in Dover Roger is the man with a real finger on the pulse, and really we should all get behind Roger.
  
  Just my view

  Hi Mandie,
  With you there, no-one could be more committed to Dover than Roger is. He works so hard for our town and never looks for praise bless him. Just hope he doesn't get involved with VM, and I'm sure he won't because he's got far too much intelligence.
  So it ain't just your view Mand - it's mine too
  
  BarryW,
  Maybe VM will listen to your wise words, although I doubt it. What you say is proof of what the rest of us have said (and many more thought). You know I sometimes think that man comes from another planet

  Just want to say a big thank you for your kind comments above.
  
  I can't of course say anything, but I do look forward to the next few weeks to see what develops.
  
  Many thanks again, your support means a lot.
  
  
  
  
  
  Roger
