Never give up... - 2 March 2014 09:50261647Thank you so much for puting that up great to see it ,takes myself back to the good times we had in Dover and our trips as young men to France.

When you look at the comfort we travel across in these days there is no comparison and yet there's a definite romance about these old days. Loved every minute of it as did my husband who worked on the linkspan as a train driver about 25 or 30 years after the film. Wonderful stuff!There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
