Dover 1 - Margate 0

Once again, the weather has let us down with little hope of getting a start before Thursday . We still have an American girl in front of us and Thursday looks the more likely day. That leaves us with no time left.

On a positive note yesterday, our team, Dover, got up over arch rivals, Margate, 1 – 0.

After searching all over Dover for nearly two weeks, we have found a restaurant that passes the test. In fact, we gave them a tip and it was actually money.

We met some Japanese swimmers on the beach and after a brief conversation we realised they we part of the six man Nippon Team we had met in 2001 . They gave us these good luck charms and then met us for a drink at the White Horse pub. This was quite funny considering that there is not much to laugh about in Dover.

Fingers crossed that the weather might change because it has been quite nerve racking for John sitting around waiting for his call up.

We have to thank Alistair, who has been kind enough to drive we boys around and Betty for letting me cook my own non greasy breakfast this morning.

This town is starring to rub off on Andrew because he has become a regular drunk at the White Horse pub. He is thinking of setting up one of his My-Size stores here in Dover because he would make a killing with all the large girls.
