00:00Yeah, Deal has changed because of them, and like the diversity, and without them this town would be totally dead.
00:06You know, I know the locals don't always like them, but the locals are always saying how terrible Dover is,
00:12but without the Londoners, Deal would be as bad as Dover.
00:16Well, there's nothing in Dover, there's hardly any football, there's no, you know, there's just nothing there,
00:22and Deal would go the same way without the Londoners.
00:26So it's kept up Deal's businesses?
00:28Absolutely, and especially it's public houses and it's live music.
00:34Without all the Londoners, the holidaymakers, that would go.
00:39Well, I welcome them, really, especially in the weekends, and there's reverberates around the town,
00:45and it makes it a little bit more upmarket, and I enjoy it, I enjoy it.
00:49There's no problem at all to me, they don't affect me at all, just livens up the town as far as I can see.
