21:5294249i am drawn back to the plight of the poole family and the tragedy that happened two centuries ago.
the pig that spent the best part of 6 months under the rubble losing three quarters of its body weight and surviving!!
so what do people do?
kill it and eat it.

21:4294525Honestly is it me? I find Alexander's arguements very hard to follow... why show a pic of the cliffs to bring people to Dover if then saying who wants to come here because of the pollution.
I thought the idea of the cable car was to take people from the Western Docks up and over the seafront to the Castle, which I have always considered was not likely to attract travellers arriving at the Eastern Docks.
There is, as others say, no point in cable car-ing, or abseiling or anything else up or down the cliffs at the eastern end of the harbour because no car parking any where near.

23:2594531That's not fair, Diana! I have suggested ways of diminishing pollution in Dover (a tunnel in Townwall St.) for the better health of us and of visitors.
I make pictures of Dover and publish them online, and do my utmost best to paint a beautiful picture of Dover. People view my pictures of Dover world-wide, you know!
I also edit original version pictures of the White Cliffs of Dover, such as the one on this thread. Places where visitors rarely go, such as East Cliff.
Dover is Britain's oldest Town, and we have the oldest Church on the British Isles!

23:3794534Correct me if I'm mistaken but I thought the oldest town in Britain was disputed between Thatcham,listed in Guinness book of records, and Abingdon....

23:5394536Marek, when people crossed the Sea in Stone Age times with their families and in small boats, they would have only gone in the direction of the White Cliffs of Dover, the only part of Britain visible to the continent, and the most direct, and safest, route. For oldest town I mean oldest settlement, of-course, and also oldest port.
