    What if the DHB cleared and relocated all the war graves from the Goodwins first......the German Dornier was raised from there at a cost of £600,000+ ?

    Estimated costs: 60X £600,000 = £36 million, plus VAT.

    Nah, cheaper to buy the sand from Wickes by the sackful!,


    Dornier

    A German Dornier raised from the sand,
    Cost to salvage, six hundred thousand Grand,
    Laid out on the Ramsgate Quay,
    Proudly left for all to see.

    A metal dealer from Dover town,
    Stared intently with a frown,
    "A rusty hulk, don't clean with water,
    Rust remover is what you oughta."

    They laughed him out of Ramsgate town,
    He didn't care, he wasn't down,
    He returned that night with a barrel,
    Of rust remover, in working apparel.

    Sprayed the rusty hulk with care,
    Keen to prove he was, 'all there,'
    Come daybreak there was a pile of dust,
    He'd eradicated all the rust.

    He put the dust in a sack,
    Went on the pier and threw it back,
    He said, "didn't last could've been finer,
    If only it had been made in China!"

    .........just a thought.


    Do nothing and nothing happens.
