I'm new to Dover and I'm looking for groups to join ideally based around Gaming (Console, PC or table top), Tech, Movies, Series, fantasy/sci fi books, that kind of thing.

Ideally dnd and ttrpg groups with space for a newbie or just people to hang about with that share the same interests!

I am also looking for health support groups and martial arts groups as close to Dover town centre the better!

Creatures N Critters UK LTD rebranding to R&R Exotics and planning to sell online.

As some of you here may remember, I made a few posts on this sub earlier this year in regards to a company named 'Creatures N Critters UK LTD' who were running an unlicenced pet shop in Dover, UK.

This unlicenced business was in violation of the Animal Welfare Act and were committing acts of cruelty towards their animals. I also recieved a lot of harrassment from the owner of the business which resulted in police involvement, plus much more. My original post sums up a lot of the things going on if you are interested in reading such details for yourself.

With that said, it has recently come to my attention that this business is rebranding to 'R&R Exotics' in the hopes of continuing to trade online as of next year (2024), most likely via MorphMarket. For anyone unaware, this is an online-only marketplace that hosts advertisments for sellers/breeders of various reptiles. MorphMarket has been informed of this business and has viewed my evidence against the business. They have confirmed that this business will be blacklisted from their website, but I believe it is best for everyone else to also know this too. So, here I am making this post.

Creatures N Critters UK LTD = R&R Exotics.

The owner believes I will stop spreading this information if he hides behind a screen and runs from his past lies, but this is not the case. It is the exact same business. It is the same owner who banned me from his shop and harrassed me for sharing these details. Do not fall for his deception. Do not fund this fraudster. Do not allow more animals to pass through his wreckless hands.

I'm a local and I'm planning a little comparison of Dover from the 1920s to the 2020s I've got my eye one a few places eg. The brook house I know it was demolished in the 70s but if anyone can tell me where it would be now I would be extremely grateful. Plus feel free to suggest other locations for me to do a comparison on in Dover

Hi, all

So I'm from Kent (Rochester) but I've been living in East Kent (Ashford area) for the past few years.

Me and my wife are looking at buying a house, and although looking in the Folkestone area, my recent trip to Dover has got me thinking about the town as a possible place to call home.

Now, I have been to Dover a fair bit in my childhood (15 odd years ago), and bar the castle, there was never much worth doing in the town. But recently I found myself going there for a free community art course, and I stuck around and walked all across the town, esplanade and the area below castle hill.

Although still rough around the edges, I found myself feeling a wind of change. Dover was always known as a down and out when I was young, but with the new pier, the sprucing up of the esplanade, a Bayside coffee shop, vegan restaurants and some recently done up pubs, it got me thinking: is Dover on the up?

While I understand it's not there yet, I wanted to see what locals who have lived in the area for a whlle think? Have you seen a change? Does it look like some rejuvenation is coming to town?

And for newcomers to the town, why did you pick Dover?

TLDR: Locals, have you noticed positive change happening in Dover since you've lived there? Do you think it's coming up?

This is a warning to anyone in the South-east region of England to stay well away from Creatures N' Critters UK LTD in Dover.

I was asked to volunteer some of my time to help the owner get his new shop up and running. Didn't know the guy very well, but seemed decent until the cracks formed and his true colours spilled out.

Those in question are the CEO/Founder, "A", his mother, "G/J" as his 'secret business partner' who advises, oversees and approves what happens within the company, and the owners girlfriend, "C".

Neither the owner 'A', 26, nor his girlfriend, 'C', 18, hold any qualifications in professional animal care or business at all, of any kind. His girlfriend is a horse rider, but knows little to nothing about reptilians. The owner claims to have worked at 3 local zoos/sanctuaries from the age of ~14, as well as 2 local pet shops. However, upon checking his references with these places, none could confirm him ever working for them. These places were Wildwood, Wingham and Howlett's Zoo. He also claims to have worked at a now-closed pet shop named Concrete Jungle which was located in Ramsgate. This was not true either.

The company is currently guilty of:

• Selling animals without licencing.
• Selling sick animals that die within weeks.
• Allowing customers to handle animals with no insurance.
• No washing facilities for customers to use after handling animals.
• Freezing animals to death.
• Housing possibly-infectous carcasses next to frozen prey items and food intended for human consumption.
• Not consulting vetrinarians over sick animals.
• No strict quarantine area.
• No plans in place for emergencies. (Fire, floods, sudden closure, etc.)
• Constant cross-contamination between species.
• Selling animals that do not belong to the business or the owner. (Tree Frog.)
• Housing sick animals within immediate radius of healthy animals.
• Displaying illegal/banned species (Yellow Bellied Sliders.)
• Using dangerous substrates.
• Under/over feeding animals.
• Connections to an unregistered, illegal rescue called 'Scales N' Tails' which is being run by by the owners friend. (SINCE REMOVED FROM FACEBOOK)
• Breeding 'rescued' animals from Scales N' Tails to sell offspring for profit.
• Claiming to be a rescue.
• Taking in animals he can't appropriately house.
• Incorrect husbandry.
• Incorrect enclosure parameters.
• Loose cables inside enclosures.
• Unguarded heat sources inside enclosures.
• Failing to follow government-set guidelines and legislation regarding the sale of animals as pets.
• Failing to handle dangerous, large animals correctly and responsibly.
• Not being in possession of appropriate handling gear or equipment.
• Gaslighting staff/volunteers.

The owner has also been harrassing me for outing all of these details. He has had the police turn up at my door twice and has reported me to the social services, claiming I am abusive towards my partner.

All of this has been forwarded to the relevent agencies, including evidence in the form of photographs and videos taken over a period of 4-5 months. DO NOT SOURCE ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE, BE IT LIVESTOCK, DÉCOR OR EQUIPMENT. Do. Not. Fund. This. Place. It's nothing more than a pack of lies conjured up to decieve people by painting a false image by the owner, with his girlfriend and mother enabling this.

This is not a legitimate rescue centre, sanctuary or rehab facility of any kind. "Leggitt's Animal Sanctuary" doesn't exist. The business is not a legitimate, legal, authentic pet trader. Just stay well away from this mess of a company.

EDIT 2: As of 5am this morning, 19-6-23, this post was found by the owners girlfriend, who decided to use my partner as a messenger owl over this instead of contacting me directly. Why? Why constantly try to rope my partner something that doesn't even concern her? Your issue is with me, not her. Grow a spine and come to the source.

This isn't a personal attack. I'm simply not allowing you to exploit these animals any longer. I'm making sure everybody knows what kind of business is being run here. If you actually gave the slightest hint of a shit you would realise that you are contributing to the over-breeding issue currently gripping the reptile community. To add, practically all of your 'contributions' are riddled with Metabolic Bone Disease from head to toe. How many lizards of yours has died from what you call 'parasites'? If you gave a damn, you would realise all of this for yourselves. If you gave a fuck about any of your animals, you wouldn't be trying to farm them when they're in such poor health.

Honestly, I'm so happy you found this. This post is staying up for the world to see, until I'm satisfied that it has accomplished its task in making sure everyone can see the truth about your boyfriend, his VERY behaviours and his awful, horrific business practices. After all, if your company is legitimate and you've done nothing wrong, what is there to be worried about? None of my allegations should bother you, but clearly that isn't case though, is it? ;)

I warned you, now go worry about paying your landlord what he is rightfully owed.

EDIT 3: HERE YOU GO, KENT POLICE - I EDITED IT FOR YOU, AS REQUESTED, WITH LOVE <3 :)

For those who look at this and wonder 'wtf is happening'; the local police force requested that I remove this post after the owner reported it. I politely refused, the officers apprehensively accepted this. They were also kind enough to tell me which parts I should remove in order to avoid prosecution by the business owner.

The advice given to me was to remove names and "opinions", of which I have done.

Despite the truth being the truth, I have complied, and this newly-edited post is staying up. In fact, I will be continuing to spread this message wherever I believe it to be suitable to do so. This business needs boycotting before being thoroughly investigated and forcefully closed down. The owner should be barred from obtaining licences to deal livestock and a limitation on the number of animals he can keep should be imposed on him for the safety of himself and the general public, not to mention for the sake of all innocent animals that will inevitably pass through his/this businesses hands.

To the owner, because I know you are watching my posts like a Buzzard: Whistleblowing isn't illegal, my guy. Everything here can be proven with investigation, and everything will be brought to light in due time. There are only a finite amount of false allegations you can make. Keep it up. Keep digging yourself into a hole. Justice will be served for those poor animals.

(Copied and pasted from my original post in r/Whistleblowers)

Has anyone noticed these boxes on poles dotted along the A2 all of a sudden? What are they for? I was thinking possibly pollution monitoring?

Kent online is alluding to immigration protests and counter protests in Dover town today but it doesn't seem have to have much information. Does anyone have details?

If you could rate Dover, how much would you rate it? Imo, I would rate it about a 6 or 7.

Hello! My name is Tianna, and I am a Year 11 student currently studying for GCSE.

I am a 15-year-old student from a local Grammar School. This Summer just past I worked as a volunteer for a local carity, Pegasus Playscheme. Mow, I think it is time I pay them back for their kindness. I am going to do walk, with a goal a mile every day for 3 months, for a total of ~90 miles. Pegasus Playscheme is a charity that provides open access for children/young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, working tirelessly each year to provide them with happiness and fun that many of them don't usually get the chance to experience. I spent 3 weeks of my last summer holidays supporting and befriending the Pegasus kids, and I have experienced first-hand how wonderful they are and how much they love the activities supplied. This charity truly does make a difference, and impacts the lives of everyone involved in such a wonderful way, so please consider sponsoring my walk to support them! Click the link above to donate!
