Here are a few more...

Adverts afford us constant amusement down the ages. This from today's Telegraph...
" SIR - In addition to displaying the price of an item, a local, well-known supermarket also offers, in smaller font, useful information to assist price comparison, such as "42p per 100 grms".
I found myself searching for the best buy in toilet rolls recently, and was somewhat taken aback to read the small print: "34p per 100 shts".

A good day fro Kent on the same page, no less than two letters from Hildenborough.

Do you have any information on the murder at a Dover cinema? My Nan was working there at the time and although Mum did have some press cutting she has now mislaid them. I would love to obtain copies if possible. Nan, had she lived would have been 100 years old on the 27th Feb and although she was a Yorkshire Lass loved Dover.
