  That was a lucky break Jeane. The alternative coming to the ferry wasnt a good plan because almost everyone tried that. The traffic was in chaos and so was the terminal booking office.It was featured on the Southest TV News for the BBC..the booking office, not to mention the traffic.
  
  However Dover always copes in the end, but one thing the TV news never mentions...we have helleva lot of disruption to local life, local flow.
  
  DavidH , Good luck in your 10 metre boat, you are quite the dashing adventurer, pray for a flat sea! Im sure Linda is entirely happy cleaning the house and getting your tea ready. She has that look of total fulfillment everytime I see here..lol!!

  You cannot be surprised locals get fed up .Talks, meetings and still the problem remains .Its seems more people are interested in if I wear a hat ??
  
  Its not my portfollio but all councillors must be accountable not just the one or two .
  I dont think we are any nearer a solution.The A 20 into Dover was always going to be a problem when events happen .Why cant the lorries be stopped further up the line ??Before entering KENT just a few allowed to progress to the port .Its seems the port cannot deal with so many vechicles .We never had this problem in the old days .They should have made the railways suitable for carring more traffic .My late husband was a British Rail employee and when I try to speak Im told " who pays your pension "Ridicolous .What diifference does it make me pointing out these ideas

  No not about me just stating that Dover needs these traffic problems resolved.I merely stated I cannot always get into the debate as I have a pension from Brithish Rail .Just to keep it open and transperent .You do like to pick an arguement Bern .
  No wonder most councillors refuse to post .

  Backing away from gentle challenge is not a good advert if councillors really are reluctant to post. I don't think they are - that would be a missed opportunity to network effectively. I suggest, respectfully, that if councillors do post that they check their posts before sending them to ensure that the correct/appropriate image/message/information is conveyed. Challenge is less of a risk that way.

  Ah jeezez Bern - lighten up a bit. Sue is entitled to put a bit about herself in her postings, as many of us do, we're not on a route march! This is all entertainment and if we reach some goals while we are doing it well and good.
  
  Sue, and Paul Watkins occasionally, are the only cabinet members posting and therefore the only ones willing to put their heads above the parapet. So my view is that we should use that to our advantage and work with them. It's vital everyone gets a fair deal no matter who they are..wouldnt you say.

  True.......I bow to your wisdom. Actujally, I agree with you - this forum is a good arena to share issues with councillors. I just feel that shouldn't give them carte blanche (you remember her, A Streetcar Named Desire!) to post poorly thought through stuff. But, yes, I will refrain a bit. Can we also expect them to post wisely?

  Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
