Well said, Keith.
All this stuff about talking Dover up and accentuating the positive simply doesn't bear up when you look at the grim reality of the place...full of drunks, junkies, boarded-up shops, utter doom and gloom and generally resembling "a holding bay for the Jeremy Kyle Show", as Mark Winter said in his Dover Express column today.
God knows what the few tourists who wander bemused into the, ahem, "town centre", think of it. It's actually probably very threatening to them, unless they stumble upon the very few pleasant oases like La Salle Verte, The Allotment, The White Horse or Cullens Yard.
Poor sods - Dover tourists, that is. It's shameful and shaming. As a Dovorian, I'm embarrassed as hell.
