16 September 2011 12:44126678Maybe somebody should provide a new sign "The Non-information Kiosk".
A prime site on the seafront is being wasted, I would have thought anybody who is jobless would be happy to run it.-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

16 September 2011 13:56126687you could allways rent it out to the pi55 heads for 5 squid a day. - 16 September 2011 14:48126694not likely brian, there is a perfectly adequate licenced facility called pencester gardens.
- 17 September 2011 16:01126855Jeez!! Howard, what am I going to do with you, I go away for a few days and you suggest putting the kiosk right back in its original place, inflicting that ugly tardis-like eyesore on our beautiful Seafront Vista yet again. I'm coming to get you, better get that tin hat out of your cupboard

- 26 September 2011 16:08128284spotted this earlier 85 quid seems a bit steep.
- 26 September 2011 18:05128302The box ought to be removed...it is an eyesore........
A decent Independant Tourist Information area .....run by the Tourist Department...if there is one....with professional idea's. information etc....Actually it should be in the Town area....
Cast your eye along this part of the Sea front....loads of notices produced by the Dover Harbour Board about all the what you can and cannot do.....like a school learning area........... - 26 September 2011 18:08128305spotted some today mr norman, seem to have appeared very recently.
