    We never used to have asylum seekers at Dover as all passengers had already travelled through or from a countersignatory country of the '51 Geneva Convention.
    Plus I.O's appeared to have more power and discretion in the old days so it was quite easy to cop a deaf un if some herbert started requesting asylum.It was usually answered politely advising them they could apply for asylum just as soon as they got back to France/Belg etc.Followed by a courteous 'cheerio'.
