8 September 2013 15:02243898are we the twilight zone on this thread then howard. - 8 September 2013 15:07243899There is nothing new going on woth the port apart from new builds etc .Alot that has be said sorry but it is rubbish.
- 8 September 2013 18:36243923Vic, that doesn't answer the question where Neil is getting his information from.
It seems to be all secretive.
Yesterday two men got out of an old-fashioned black car and appeared to be working for ... "the Government"....
they asked me what my mobile phone was, and generally anything modern appeared strange to them...
Their suits seemed from the 50s...
they wanted some information on how the astronaut was on the pic I had taken at the beach, and were visibly worried when I told them it was not there when I had aimed the camera...
After half an hour one of them said "we must go now", looking nervously at his watch.... and then it occurred to me as their car sped off out of Charlton car park, that the gates to the car park had been closed, and that they must have covered the distance to their car - Charlton Centre being 150 yards away - within 5 seconds all told.
Anyway, where DOES Neil get his information from? His statements on the future ownership of the Port of Dover seem to come from another planet.
Is it just me....??Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

9 September 2013 08:26243958Alexander;
im still smiling over post 71 your application was the only viable one lol
In reality your proposals give as many questions as they do part answers.
If I were govt official getting your proposal, it should be taken in a light hearted way, a way of light eentertainment.
Then they would need to get back to the serious business of the portALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 9 September 2013 09:28243982hopefully someone at the next meeting will ask mr waggott why he will not allow rspca inspectors into the port when the livestock arrives.

9 September 2013 12:28244008Rather a strange decisionALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 9 September 2013 12:42244014indeed keith, i have reg'd this from the rspca website, hopefully mr waggott is aware of what is happening on his watch and responds to the issue.
The controversial live transport trade received another blow this week (Wednesday, 4 September) after a lorry full of sheep bound for the continent was turned away from the port of Dover, after four animal health officials boarded a lorry following concerns about an "exceptional" smell.
According to reports, a protester close to the road became concerned that the animals looked unwell and that an "exceptional" smell was emanating from the lorry. They were so concerned about the welfare of those sheep on board that they contacted the Police Liaison Officer immediately, who called in to Animal Health at the port.
The shipment was due to sail at 7pm, however after 45 minutes the lorry was refused. Its final destination has not yet been confirmed by the government's animal health officials, AHVLA, but it is thought the sheep were sent back to their original place of loading, which could have been as far as Northamptonshire.
Our inspectors continue to be refused entry into the port
RSPCA chief executive Gavin Grant said:
"It was a warm day and the animals may have become ill or injured as they travelled in peak time traffic for many hours. If that lorry had not been checked, those animals could have sailed from Dover and started their long journey to Europe.
It is totally unacceptable that the RSPCA is being prevented from checking the welfare of all animals involved in this needless trade." - 9 September 2013 12:44244018Howard, its EU law
- 9 September 2013 12:48244021nothing to do with eu law david, rspca inspectors are supposed to be allowed access to anywhere that there is an animal welfare issue.
- 9 September 2013 12:50244022I thought it was because government Animal Health Inspectors trump RSPCA inspectors.

what to stop RSPCA inspectors visiting???ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 9 September 2013 21:30244107Keith, first of all, you're not a Government official.
But the point I'm making, in particular as every thread on the Port of Dover starts with a reference to DPPT, even if in relation to a DHB meeting, is that DPPT have not declared where their information on a future change in Port ownership is coming from.
So, finally we have been told we will get clear information, that hitherto is not public, at the next DPPT meeting within a week or two.
It's time Neil held his promise and made public this information.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

9 September 2013 21:36244109"It's time Neil held his promise and made public this information"
As he undoubtedly will when more relevant people than us at the DPPT AGM been informed.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
------------------------------------------------------------------- - 9 September 2013 21:37244110DEFRA is the official body to check the animals.\
Roger - 9 September 2013 21:51244113Jan, this may come back to haunt DPPT if they don't keep their promise!
The next week or two, right! You're on! Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA
