Yes, it would be slow but stuff would be moving. I was on a bus sometime during the past few years and we were diverted this way,so I know it is possible. All it takes is a bit of common dog to do this and after all part of our extortionate council tax does go toward the police funding which I reminded the Chief Constable of. Whether I get a reply is another thing. I also wrote to the mayor asking about a vehicle and sand being kept on the island as a Weymouth &amp; Portland council lorry was escorted over to the island by a police vehicle while we were sitting in the ludicrous queue. Again, a reply may be forthcoming, who knows. I did mention their &#39;precious&#39; olympics to the mayor. Will keep you posted if any reply.sylv websternoreply@blogger.com
