Deal is doing very nicely thank you (though I'm still working on our sole 'down and out' moving back to Dover)
The question Dovorians should ask is what, with a third of a million visitors to Dover Castle, a quarter of a million to the White Cliffs, over a million passengers travelling on P&O alone last August and countless wealthy punters on over 60 cruise ships this year, all passing by less than a mile away, they should provide to entice them into town where they can be relieved of some of their cash (and I DON'T mean by that woman who hangs around the cash machines).
Wetherspoons and a half a dozen charity shops, each with a vagrant sleeping in the doorway fuelled on free soup, just isn't going to do it I would suggest!
