Can't say I noticed that and I've been across it three times now. The coastbound A2 goes down to one lane for the verge works, but that's been on-going for a while.(Not my real name.) - Jan Higgins

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

28 October 2019 15:46359996typical that. - 29 October 2019 08:35360001And so as a no-deal brexit isn’t happening ( who could have predicted that!!) Brock is being removed after 1 day.
But it takes 48 hours to remove, no date confirmed. - Button

29 October 2019 09:00360003It would be more sensible to have a permanent system that diverts port traffic into separate lanes of cars and lorries long before it nears Dover, it also needs severe punishment for drivers who try to avoid that route.
That would involve common sense from some bright desk bound person who has probably never visited this area of the country.-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Put your left foot in
Your left foot out
Your left foot in
And shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And turn yourself around
Now put your right foot in
Your right foot out
Right foot in
Then you shake it all about
And then you do the hokey pokey
Turn yourself around
That's what it's all about
You put your head in
You put your head out
Put your head in
And bang it all about
Do the hokey pokey
And turn yourself around
That's what it's all about
Opps.
A20 TAP,hey thats a disgrace
