'What are the places to avoid in Dawlish?' The pavements.
I don't think you should worry too much. At least people are posting on here. The car driver thing was meant to be ironic - unfortunately thats a bit above some posters. Like the idiot who doesn't want 'foreign' food. Most of the posters on here seem to be teenagers with a sense of humour. Nothing wrong with that in my view though I agree we could do without the insulting stuff.

Thai food is what people want these days, not crappy old fish and chips. Your days are numbered me old fruit - Dawlish is on the move and you can't stop it!
Yes it does say something indeed - that most people don't really care very much about improving their environment. I moved to Dawlish to be near the sea and Dartmoor and I also liked a lot about the town.
