  Well I don't know but am I the only one who considers the tourist information booth rather quite beautiful. It's a positive asset to the town. Many people use it and the design could not be bettered. I think it would be a good idea if two more were installed. One near the eastern arm and one in the middle of the prom roughly where the channel swimmers train.
  Speaking of which isn't it about time the town of Dover at least welcomed these swimmers somehow instead of totally ignoring them?
  For many years now these people have travelled halfway across the world in order to pit their wits with the twenty-one miles of briney only to find themselves with no welcoming committee whatsoever. It's all rather rude really.
  Most other places would celebrate our position in this regard and lay on some sort of facility to assist them.
  Not here though. They are merely consigned to changing on a litter and excrement filled beach on which to prepare their training schedule. If they want to shelter themselves from the wind they have a choice of a poorly designed metal sculpture with no windows and a bench. Some sort of art installation I'm told.
  They can, however, watch the news on the giant telly if the sea is too rough.
  Ahhh the giant telly eh? Dover's answer to regeneration on the cheap.
