Even quieter this afternoon except that bloke with his bagpipes, weather dry and not too cold so maybe most people are buying online this Christmas.

So what's with the 'Christmas' bagpipes? There was a bloke (same one?) playing bagpipes in Canterbury last week.
Meanwhile a total of only 5 'religious' 2nd class stamps left in Deal Post Office this a.m. Not impressed.

Different one, this bloke has been around for about three weeks now.

Exactly Howard, maybe us oldies who have the ability to talk sense should be listened to.

No. I do believe that parade is actually owned by DDC?
Knocking it all down and opening up the area between the Museum, Library and Painted House would do more in the long term for Dover regeneration than a squirty paddling pool ever will.

I hope you don't think I am being critical of you Bob but sometimes you ramble on for ages when a short response is all that is needed.
