Sounds like a good Deal to me Ian.
Deal is on my places to visit this summer.
I shall have to photograph the shingle, if it is worth singing about, it is worth a picture.
Deal is lovely,but there's a better deal opposite the Deal Bandstand,which isn't actually in Deal,but almost in Walmer.The deal I refer to is a delightful cafe on the seafront,full English breakfast for just £3.50,incl. tea or coffee.
