In the era before the channel tunnel I used to travel a lot on
the Ostend - Dover ferries. I remember the old Dover train station
(demolished AFAIK). Yellow bricks, cast iron stairs painted in
bright red, and a smell typical of all British train stations...
And of course the MI6 man scrutinising arriving foreigners - easy
to spot: doesn't move and is the only one wearing a suit and tie.
