    No way anybody is going to knock at dingy, derelict old Dover's doors. We have to go and knock at theirs and show them what a lot of money they can make out of the place if they have the imagination.

    I love the idea of the cable car. The only one I have been in was up to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town. That does not run when it is windy but has a double cable to enable it to operate up to a certain wind strength. It has managed to carry over eleven million passengers so being a bit windy from time to time has not precluded it from being a very potent tourist attraction. I have been round the Cape of Good Hope many times and can vouch for the fact that it can get very windy indeed.

    On a day like today, sunny and still, a cable car trip to Dover Castle would be a super attraction. If it is windy and rainy then punters would have to find something else to do. Just because it would not run 24/7 all year round does not rule it out as a splendid attraction. It is a high tech glamorous fun thing, not a mundane workaday transport link. Think London Eye not London Underground.
