  Read an article earlier(which I can't find now, on the new cruise terminal at Greenwich and the fight by local residents frightened by the possible high rise in pulmonary conditions.
  
  Quite rightly they say that some of today's liners are the size of towns with around 800 people on board and they cite people living near the terminal in Southampton having high rates of illness. the "Crystal Symphony" no stranger to Dover got a mention but typically Dover didn't.

  The problem of pollution from ships at berth is mentioned in the relevant EU Directive, an interesting read if you're having trouble getting to sleep.

  That report must have taken a lot of people a lot of time to compile compared to the numbers who have read and understood it.

  That's not a report Howard, it's an EU Directive to be obeyed by millions.
