  Is there one this year and if so what time?
  
  Councillors Trevor Bond and Wayne Elliot are going in the Deal one for a local charitable cause and I believe Bob will be following suit.

  I know there is one in Folkestone, still not heard anything about Dover.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I am reliably informed that Cllr Frost has been told in no uncertain terms by SWMBO that he will 'enjoy' Christmas with his children in London whether he likes it or not.

  If Wembley Arena gets mentioned the Councillor would be well advised to keep a lookout for Eamonn Andrews then.

  First long shot pictures of those brave souls who took 'the dip' at noon today, watched by a large crowd of well wrapped up spectators.

  On the other hand, there's proper swimming (warning: contains images of scantily-dressed old people):

  I'd recommend Afon Glaslyn, which carries water off Snowdon, and the Zugersee (recommended for tax avoiders everywhere), which takes water from a glacial lake.
