    I think I am in a good position to talk about Deal as I was born here and have come back to live here and not by choice. It's a dump and is not Whitstable. It's not that nice. The town centre is great for the Georgian Houses mainly owned by wealthy Londoners but the town centre is dire and dying and has very poor shops compared to decades past when it had M and S and Original Factory Shop and independent department stores. Now it has Poundstretcher and Poundland in the old M and S and so many places to eat. The town centre is dying with many empty shops and banks and no retail park. Most of us living in Deal have to shop out of Deal because it is so bad and work out of Deal as well. It's an old person's town and increasingly dumped from London town and asylum seeker town. I would not recommend Deal to live. Awful place in my honest opinion and yes I intend to move out as soon as I possibly can.

    • @cptkelly
      @cptkelly หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is sort of what I say in the video - it's changed to accomodate the new "locals", ie folks who come down from London on the weekend. Great for eating out, drinking, live music etc... but day to day shopping? Yeah, I agree.

    Deal looks beautiful.Its so terrible about locals being priced out of the town, totally NOT fair, this is where Mayors/councillors need to step in to help organise economics for local peoples. It can be done, people just need to decide to care about it, people in authority who over see the running of the town as a whole can step in to lead organising ways of running the town economically for local people and visiting people. I live in London teaching music and living is very expensive for us, everyone is being priced out of where they live in this country it has to change. I grew up in London this is my home. Something has to give we can’t all go on like this for ever. We pray daily to God for help and He helps us in every way. If it wasn’t for God through Jesus helping us and answering our prayers we definitely could not cope on a daily basis. We hope to be able to come visit Deal this summer…

    Yes had a holiday in Deal, many years ago, stayed in the kings head hotel. enjoyed it very much, but things have been spoilt, by over tourism and London prices, lived for twenty five years in Suffolk,things much the same, only an hour from London by train, London prices and over tourism at the week ends. Then moved to the North West, back home, yes cheap houses and low rent compared to London, but only because there is no work, Levelling up, never happened, believe me, so have a day out in the lake district, choc a bloc full of tourists, for some reason majority Chinese, mass tourism spoils a lot of places nowadays.

We come back to UK about ever 2 years. We use Airbnb, but it is sad that the houses we stay in would have been the local first time buyers property in the old days.

    • @cptkelly
      @cptkelly 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You need to properly set yourself up before you go. The visa process can be long and hard (unless you're married to a Zimbabwean) and expensive. Be prepared for extensive power cuts and difficult financials. If you've got money outside of the country, it's much easier. It's hard, but it can absolutely be worth it.

    Good morning. I just found you & gotta tell you, I was very touched by your video & insight into yourself. Bless your heart & know there's no mistake, only lessons & bridges in life. Thank you for sharing. Giving your experience I really need your thoughts. My husband is from Vic Falls, where I lived with him for (8) months in 2015-2016 but he's been in the states since 2017 & we'll be going on (9) years of marriage. Now for the quandary, I REALLY want to return to Vic Falls permanently but he is unsure with the political happenings. My question to you is, if you were able to buy your own home in Vic Falls & have a continual monthly income, would you prefer Vic Falls vs UK? Your thoughts would be very welcome. Thanks truly & I am beyond sorry what happened with Kerry. Your soulmate is now waiting to find you.

    • @cptkelly
      @cptkelly 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you, your kind words mean a lot to me ☺️ as for Vic Falls, Zimbabwe is a tough country to live in. If you have a USD income (I had my other TH-cam channel paying my UK account) and connections to turn that into local currency, it's doable. Be aware that Vic Falls is still prone to power outages (not on the same scale as other areas, mind) so you'll want to get solar or a generator. It's a much quieter and more human (earthy?) way of life though, and I'm so glad that I got to experience it. I think it very much depends on your financial situation as to how comfortable you'll find it, and it's important to know what you value in lifestyle. If a quiet life, fishing, drinks with friends, drives into nature and watching the sunset is your thing, you can't go wrong!

      @@cptkelly Thanks so much for responding back. As a former park ranger in the redwoods & boat patrol officer in Colorado, I just LOVE nature & culture. It's the best. One thing I forgot to mention, though maybe you know, (which I'm crushed about) is believe it or not, Vic Falls is slated to become a smart city. They have a HUGE solar panel field by the airport, HUGE hotels & golf courses going in & pretty much sold out the national parks & animals. Same with Kariba. At this point, with the US imploding inside & out from insane-os running it & the Zim Pres selling the soul of his country, I don't even know where to go anymore to retire to live just in nature. It's truly unbelievable. And lastly, is England really rioting & as bad as some of the videos I just saw showing that? I hope not, cause I LOVED England when I was there. The US will be next for sure. One day at a time & again thank you for sharing.
