Dover is a grotty hole. It has only two interesting features: the castle on one side and the miltary tunnels etc on the other side.

Good point about motorways. We have just had it too good. Without any kind of tolls every man and his dog is on M25 for no real reason and contributing to the enormous climate change. Tolls are good and if the public want to go anywhere they can use the trains.

What else is left to sell off? I mean, can this be called scraping the barrel ? Gordon still needs to repay £ 830 billion somehow.
