  I took an enjoyable walk around River last weekend and was thinking why is River a village? Isn't is just a suburb of Dover? Why is it any different to say Maxton?

  I think the most exiting thing ever saw in River was a man walking up and down his lawn with those funny spiked sandels to aerate the grass and now theres gun crime,its a disgrace.

  I see it as the other way around, River especially Crabble Lane up the hill is part of upper St Radigunds

  Whilst this sort of crime would often lead to the scaffold, the word on the street is that this time it leads to the 'scaffolder'!
