Thanks. This is the one I was referring to :-

I do remember in 2014 when it was before DDC I got clearance from AHVLA and Royal Harbour Ramsgate and actually attended a 'live animal export' on the dockside at Ramsgate so I wasn't talking total bollocks about something I knew nothing about like most of my fellow councilors............
The only problem I ever heard about at Ramsgate was when some idiots from the RSPCA ordered a lorry load of sheep to be unloaded for 'inspection'. The sheep, who are not known for their intelligence, and in the absence of such as errrrr fences and sheepdogs, all made a run for it in different directions across the concrete apron some breaking their legs on gratings and having to be put down!
