Why Live in Dover?
- 1 November 2011 16:09134465Today we got asked a question that stumped a few people in the office..I guess hangovers from too much Halloween Treats were present !.
Chap comes into The Accommodation Shop who is thinking of relocating to this area and wants to "try it out for 6 months" so asks the simple question..
Why would I want to live in Dover?
So....anyone got anything to say :-)
Greg - 1 November 2011 16:31134472difficult to say greg - dover is just one of those places you either love or loathe.
i would say the relaxed and friendly atmosphere is its biggest asset, i go for the scenery and great walks but others would have no interest in such things.
i bet this will be a long thread though. - Brian Dixon

1, i love to loathe it.
2,i loathe to hate it.
but its a love hate relationship. - 1 November 2011 16:46134480I would say to him, if you are a glass half full person, give it a try. If you are a glass half empty person, get back on the 0844 to St Pancras.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 1 November 2011 17:12134481How about beautiful parks (Kearsney) fantastic heritage (Western Heights) bundles of enthusiastic volunteers, lovely schools and a beach.
- 1 November 2011 17:22134483Yes that it Peter when you have had enough of Dover visit John at the Station
,Dover's History,Heritage, Walks, People ,Cliffs, Buildings ,Vic, and after a trip to Europe you can be in doors in 20 mins from getting off the boat 
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 1 November 2011 17:26134485Because everything..... all roads/rail/ships .......etc....lead out of it
So you can go anywhere................
It is the epi-centre.............so it is Calm...
- 1 November 2011 17:30134486Charlie you can go everywhere,because all those road lead you out to new places,one way Europe and beyond the other anywhere in this Country and because we are close to London we are nearer the one place to take you anywhere by any form of transport without having to live in the Busy city of London.If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

- 1 November 2011 19:02134500Why live in Dover
Why indeed, grows any tree, but where it does
why there the briar and elsewhere bloom the rose
if not by chance then it is by man's design there put
the hand of man arranges what to his mind will suit
While sage he is that matches like with like
and wise too is he that balance seeks to strike
as true as none can live by bread alone
nature has a place for those self-sown
From wherever and from whom you have new-come
there is wide scope for friendships in this new home
some who shall challenge, some to share your mind
that shall compensate you for all you've left behind
Welcome then to all who wish to settle in this town
and to marry their fortunes in-with it's high renown
and in fellowship bear too it's oh so happy yoke
know that the jewels in Dover's diadem are it's folk
and the park
and the schools
and the...
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 1 November 2011 19:17134506The history and historic sites and attractions, the countryside, the cliff-top walks, the lovely villages, the seafront and the potential to be the real jewel on the south (east) coast.
And Blakes !!

- 1 November 2011 21:20134532It certainly got us thinking ! We are used to being asked some silly questions, but this was a out of the blue one...much debating went on I can tell you!..
We were trying to come up with a "one liner" but then realised as we cover quite a large area of Kent we would have to do it for all the other towns/villages we let property in...
Thanks for some of the points raised, much appreciated :-)
