The Investigator's Posts on Dawlish Discussion

Thanks for that. We had better make the most of this years show then. I hope that I will be awake to see it. Dont get back from Frankfurt till near midnight on Wednesday.

According to their (brainwave) website, they are moving to Richmond Place, and Stewarts is the only property for them there, unless I am mistaken

Many thanks Sue. I didnt think it was going ahead this year. I heard it had been (the organising committee)thrown into turmoil after a resignation from one of the committee members.

@Dawlish Man . i believe that it was due to staffing problems and something to do with the chap who was the manager (not mr baker)leaving. that is what i have heard, so it may not be gospel.

Hey Dave. Check out my reply to your other post.

Why worry about Wilkinsons being the cause of some shop closures when Tesco/Sainsburys will be the cause of ALL the shops closing.

It is my belief that it is being converted to flats.

@ J Warrener. Yes, I walked out on the Saturday afternoon. IMO, the Smugs is the wrong place for a beer fest, as you cannot classify it as a pub anymore. Its a restaurant that sells beer, and not a pub that sells food. A good idea would be to have a marquee on the Lawn and have the fest in there. Our wonderful hard working council can organise it, so then we will see if they CAN organise a Pi$$ up ...

Fingers crossed.

Correct. I have since been informed that the refuse collectors are NOT picking up loose black bags now. Only rubbish in your wheelie bin will be collected.

@ZIGGY . might see you at the smugglers. i will have to 'investigate' all those ales. lol

@PJD. Well said. Yes, dont faint. LOL

Yep. Sure did.

This bandstand has to be the biggest joke ever, and shows exactly what the council and the residents of this dying town really are. Apathetic. We are going in to 2010, and the bandstand, or to give it its proper name, the Millennium Bandstand, is 10 years late. Regeneration of Dawlish?? Flatten the place and start again. Get rid of the dregs that infest this town, the druggies, drunkards and ...

I would also like to add, that there in nothing more annoying than people who move into the area and start wanting to change things. There is nothing wrong with the sea wall. It was like that BEFORE you moved here. And no, Im not being horrid, just practical. I hope that you are enjoying living here.

This my friend, is one of the many things that I, the Investigator, will be putting on my website. No matter how trivial things are, then let me know. This needs to be addressed. I need to gather more information and get some photos uploaded to my website, then I, the Investigator, will show how things do NOT get done in this once wonderful town. Look at my replies to the other top 6, 7, or 8 ...

Whats the point ?? If you believe that, then you must believe in Santa Claus and fairies. What has happened to the Millennium Bandstand?? Remember that?? It is now coming up to 2010, and STILL no bandstand. The current one is an eyesore and an embarrassment to the town. The Investigator will expose all what has happened to Dawlish and what will be happening to the town on his website. The only way ...

The Swan Inn now does excellent food. Far superior than all the rubbish you get in town. As for the Lansdown, who in their right mind would want to eat there? Same as a lot of other places in town. All they serve up is cheap tacky food for cheap tacky chavs, who's only insight to foreign food is a Chinese on a Friday, Kebab or Pizza on a Saturday, and the most exciting of all, a Macdonalds when ...

I think that more to the point, It will be lining someones pocket with a lot of £££'s. The Investigator is on the case.

The Investigator is here, and needs CONCRETE evidence to display all the wrongdoings that this council has done on his website. Why has Tesco miraculously got another chance? It was no surprise, was it.
