If you’re staying for more than a couple of hours in Dover I recommend the historic White Horse Pub in Dover. To quote another customer recommendation: “This was a nice and quite friendly pub, and has names of all the people who have swum the channel on the ceiling and wall. They gave us free nuts, and it was in a nice location close to the remains of a ruined church….” What more do you want, dancing ladies?!

In defence of Her Majesty
The Queen get’s flak from the Sunday Mirror today for daring to ask a NATO officer for his opinion on the war in Afghanistan. Reportedly Her Majesty asked Lithuanian Captain Arnold Raizys: “Is it a restoration or a war in Afghanistan?” Political editor Vincent Moss described this question as “confused”. Of course in its editorial a few pages in, its changed its opinion on to “a good question”. I never thought I’d side with the Queen against the Mirror but I respectfully suggest this is somewhat stupid and patronising of the Mirror. Er, hadn’t is occurred to them to take a clue from her use of the word “restoration” that she is not so stupid as they make out? Come on guys, think about it. But not too hard you have a dead-line to meet.
