Phil not at all you did absolutely the right thing..sorry you got drenched and frozen but very often these potential stories can fizzle out. But then on the other hand you almost got a scoop...
Speaking of bomb scares..I was here in Dover a wet day, and someone left a green packet or bag on the little pier opposite Boland Towers. The place was cordoned off and the Bomb Squad came. It was quite a drama, almost straight from the TV and I had a full view of the drama as it unfurled.
I thought.."Jeez is this what they mean about frontline Dover !!"
