ridiculous!

The owner of a crumbling grade two listed building in Teignbridge faces legal action unless something is done to stop the building collapsing. The Old Vicarage in Weech Road, Dawlish, is owned by a London man and has been empty for 20 years. The property was listed in 1951 as a grade two building of special architectural and historic importance. The original house is thought to date from the 17th ...

One can only despair of Dawlish. In the Dawlish Gazette this week there were about eight letters, seven of which were from people who live outside of Dawlish. Its not as if people in Dawlish don't have time to write letters. Whats the matter with you people? Aren't you interested in your community? Don't you care? Are you just waiting to die or for the pubs to open? Whatever it is I have had ...

Its like the ONLY thing that happens in Dawlish all the year round. Now they are asking for volunteers to police it. Why don't local businesses pay out of the increased profits they will make?

Very nice. Yes it certainly feels at times (maybe all the time?) that no one else is alive in Dawlish. I don't understand, with a population of 11000, how a place can be so lacking in energy. And it seems to be getting WORSE!!

hi, what do locals think of electric ink????

Hmmmm. Yes, Well. See, its this young lady in the flat opposite.She will open the curtains to her bedroom window each morning wearing nothing but a smile. Puts me right off, it does. I just can't bear to look.........................away.

Tony Darby does, or used to have a lot to do with Dawlish Football club, maybe give them a ring, they may be able to help u.

Yes the dentist on Queen street does except NHS, be prepared for a wait though, I had to wait six months when they first opened for a appointment but, it was worth it as they are very good there. P.S They have been open for about 2 years and occasionally take on new patients (NHS) if you just called in then you would have known

Exeter and Dawlish are in line to stage birthday celebrations for one of Britain's greatest engineers, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Next year marks 200 years since his birth and the South West, home of his Great Western Railway, is to be at the centre of commemoration events. Bristol is to take the leading role but celebrations are also pencilled in for Exeter and Dawlish. Brunel ran his wide-gauge ...

Ta for that. They sound an unsavoury lot.

When I used to live in Dawlish - the idea of being posted to Bideford or Barnstaple - it would have been like living at the end of the world. Now I do live at the end of the world, I haven't really modified that opinion. If it was cheap there, then yeah I would consider it. But its expensive too. Porlock is nice, so is Combe Martin, Lynmouth. There's another place....is it Dulverton? Dunster? ...

Families of MG Rover workers made redundant when the car giant collapsed were being welcomed aboard the first of five free train services to the seaside today. Virgin Trains is laying on special trains from Longbridge station to the Devon resorts of Dawlish Warren, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Torquay and Paignton this week. The trains will leave Longbridge railway station each morning for the ...

You may well be right about those places in Somerset. I only went to Wiveliscombe which seemed quite lively in comparison to Dawlish.

I dunno, St James looked OK to me but then again so did Dawlish at first glance! Theres another factor though for us in that we need a bigger house. I notice you mention Totnes - almost London prices by the look of it, and VERY alternative. I know Exeter has a huge drugs problem but as you say, the student vibe is there which I like very much.

I'd much rather see a nice B&B with hanging baskets than a dilapidated flat with rubbish piled up outside. Also they might attract more upmarket tourists which would lead to better shops and cafes etc etc. You have to admit it. Dawlish is a downmarket town, run by the retired for the retired. The front page of todays Dawlish post says it all - the first development in the town for years (the ...

Teignbridge is promoting the government's walking the way to health scheme with a timetable of short guided rambles up to six days a week free of charge. Walk This Way Teignbridge strolls take less than an hour and all ages are welcome, including people in pushchairs and wheelchairs. There is no need to book, just turn up for walks around Bovey Tracey, Buckfastleigh, Chudleigh, Dawlish, ...

Some of South Devon's very best beaches have been given the thumbs-up by a conservation charity. The Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide is one of four beach award initiatives, but it is the only scheme that focuses entirely on water quality standards and the risk of sewage pollution, rather than beach management. The society will only recommend beaches in the guide if they meet the Blue ...

A new CCTV control room in the centre of Newton Abbot will help police detect more crime, the Devon and Cornwall force says. They are also hoping the scheme will be extended to cover smaller towns, including Bovey Tracey and Dawlish. The scheme is being jointly funded by the police, the district council and the town council. Police say other towns in Teignbridge are now expressing an interest in ...

I'm going on holiday to Dawlish this year. I'm psyched. I'm going to chase the ducks, and go to Somerfield bargain corner Takes me 30 hours door to door to get to Dawlish

house exchange 2bed(council)(ha) 2bed sought, we live in a village called Rothwell near leeds, we are looking to move anywhere with a teignbridge council landlord area, contact us for details. (Homesick)!!

Don't forget that people are a little behind the times down here and take a while to catch on. I expect the first incident of happy slapping to occur in 2010. (Note the new Indian Takeaway - Dawlish moves forward into the 1970s!)

I have given up nn trying to get a sensible discussion on schools and what they achieve. I did try a route that may work !

Hiya, we are a young couple looking to rent in Dawlish. We are non smokers and have good references and deposit and ready to move in immediately, our budget is about £450 per month, any help would be appreciated!

Hmmmmmmm... there is much in these postings about spellings and grammar. Is it intended as a joke? The original posting refers to the "standard of english" (sic) and "scruffy dressed children". Some further work required here on capitalisation and the use of adverbs. People in glass houses should not throw stones.

Also semantics like '):, ;), :(' all have meaning on the internet, but are not part of any language. So, my point is, don't waste your time worrying about whether every word you write is 'correct'. If some pedant points out to you you may be be wrong, make a mental note & move on. Generally, they are pointing out something you already know or have learned, but forgot...

please visit https://www.dawlish.com/AirTrainingCorps/ we are currently in need of both adult staff and cadets, many thanks.

ah well a bit before my time, wasn't interested in gambeling back then, just interested in the clanggers etc then, and star wars (of course).

yeah I did lived down the road from him when they used to live in newlands, haven't seen him for a while though.

A 17-year-old is recovering in Torbay Hospital after being stabbed in the leg on Satuday evening. The teenager, who was not local, was walking through Brunswick Place at around 11pm when he was assaulted. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. Early Sunday morning a trail of blood could be seen along Brunswick Place and on to the Lawn, and the police soon taped off the area for ...

I agree with you Alex. Thats why I don't bother posting on here anymore. Its a shame - but no one in Dawlish seems to write to the papers either, despite having plenty of time to do so. Very strange - is it something in those sea mists I wonder?

Someone has been busy sending dawlish.com users a bogus email claiming to be from the 'dawlish.com team'. These clever people also decided to send one to the webmaster! SO PLEASE BE AWARE.

ps If the names here are shaded light grey (instead of black) it means you can click on the name and see the e mail address !

Perhaps because Anne is from Russia and Alex is from Dawlish (which is in England), and dawlish.com is on the WWW, Anne put 2&2 together & thought maybe someone from Dawlish might know Alex? I guess you are not studying logic...?

Didn't the Bradshaw brothers once indulge in an erotic S&M session with Sarah Perryman?

Remember this - he hit some lad with a baseball bat or snooker cue & kiiled him - mid-eighties. Is he still inside?

Blonde joke. A young blonde lass from the sticks went for a job at her local riding stables.The vacancy was for a stable girl. The first question she was asked at the interview was: 'Have you ever shoe'd a horse before luv? 'No, can't say that I have.' replied the blonde, 'But I told one to f*** off once'!! I've adapted that one slightly.Think it was a Jethro joke.
