    Bloomberg ,well that a blast from the pass in my working life we was working in their big set up in London for the best side of two years,
    Anyway they are saying just what I have been saying at public meetings over the last two years,that the port of Dover trade is going backwards and the port could have see their best years now behind them. Car numbers are down by 21% and passenger Traffic that means bus,s foot passengers etc is even more then that,Truck Traffic fell by 3% giving the rail 31% of it and that% is even still going up.
    They talk about the port going to Auction,one I must say I did not think about. The P/P plans for a take over are very small about 10%.But if the port went to Auction they would not even get that,the bidding would be much higher then the £300million they can borrow. The Port of Dover should ride this all out by staying a Royal port within a update of the Royal Charter.This way the port is safe and will not go bankrupt,it is still making money and would stay that way,the port would not need to borrow £300million and the big thing is it would stay in UK hands and this is the only way it will.
