    Can anyone explain why some Dover businesses still operate the archaic system of half-day closing on Wednesdays? Do they not realise we live in a different economic world and have done for ovr 20 years now? Is it any wonder some struggle to make ends meet?

    The cafe at the end of the pier is a good example. Folks are so used to it beign closed they no longer bother to walk down to find out if it is open. They have committed commercial suicide through either lack of acumen or plain laziness. It should be one of the gold-mines worth having, but it will eventually close for good, if it hasn't already.

    The same will happen to the other businesses if they don't get their act together. We are not a little village where early closing may be acceptable, we are a port town with cruise ship visitors and other tourists coming every day and therefore surely cannot afford to have closed doors mid-week.
