    Another crackpot idea. Words fail me. Some suit on the news said he sees Dover as 'the new Barcelona', or some such piffle. Has he ever been to Barcelona? Or for that matter ever gone so far as to look out of the window of his ivory tower without the use of a blindfold?

    A major civic project such as a cable car for Dover would be all well and good if there was a town beneath it worthy of enticing people to stop, shop, live and visit. A cable car would be ideally the last piece in the jigsaw of a fully-revitalised town, giving the place an extra 'wow!' factor.

    As it stands, this ridiculous project, after all the consultation, presentations and other bureaucratic guff, will prove to be merely £4m of wasteful flim-flam, misdirecting funds while the town it will not touch (no need to explain further the irony of that) continues to haemmorhage at ground level.

    As a proud Dovorian I so want to be proved wrong, but it'll never, ahem, get off the ground.
