Not that sort but got your attention
I've only been on here a few months so don't know if this has been noticed before, but if it had I guess it should have been changed by now.
The white cliffs from DTC website -
The Seven Sisters in East Sussex, check out the peaks in middle and distance view -

Yes indeed well spotted Ray. I did wonder over that picture before...wondered where it was really. Thought it might have been St Margarets initially after a cliff fall....but no.

Yes Paul, I originally thought it was somewhere between Kingsdown and Dover but happened on the Seven Sisters view when looking elsewhere.

Don't worry Ray, I doubt if many people, apart from those of us who are unfortunate enough to live under the aegis of this Council, will visit the site.

last time i looked the site it said we had a great variety of shops and international restaurants.
they listed the international cusines, the one i noted was american.
i suppose that macdonalds and kfc make the staement true, but think tourists would be thinking along the lines of creole food.

This has got on the KMFM and Radio Kent news today...oops. Odd as I never even realised. They are asking for people to submit a high quality picture of the White Cliffs to replace it with. Although I presume it is a slow news day as this has made the news of two radio stations, not really news though is it?

It seems that Dover and East Sussex have each a twin sister. Or may-be someone in DTC went on a trip to East Sussex and brought a postcard back.

Hey, I see you in the Daily Express Ray - page 27!!
How can you "be born under the White Cliffs of Dover" though?? The mind boggles!
I know a million ways to always pick the wrong thing to say

This was a simple mistake that could have been rectified had someone who noticed it while on the website left a note on that website. Instead we have the complete nonsense of local media, and now the national press, trying to build a news story out of the difference between two sections of chalk cliff-face. Had the distant headland not been visible there would have been nothing to distinguish it from Shakespeare Cliff, a big chalkface slowly crumbling into the sea.
If the media showed the same level of attention to the opening of the Charlton Green riverside area or the public consultation on spending or the work done on allotments or any of the many projects underway from the Town Council we would all be better off.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

May-be it explains why so many tourists were going to East Sussex and Brighton.

There are also post-cards at the Dover Museum, and some displays inside the chambers of Dover's coast past and present.
