How mean. I do use the place when I want to sit outside. (wont any more) They charge 20p more than anywhere else for a pot of tea etc. The owners also own a B&B in Starcross that is also dark and dingy

WOOLWORTH
30 Nov 2008

The Woolworths chain will be taken over. If Dawlish looses Woolies and another similar outlet is not put in its place the town and other small towns will have nothing to offer. There are three pubs up for sale in Dawlish including the Landsdowne £1,250,000 The White Hart £49,000 and another. I have heard that Tesco owns One Stop and is buying The Hole in the Wall and will make one large store, ...

sleepy hollow
30 Oct 2008

I found myself walking in Dawlish at 9.30 tonight, the town was as though asleep and I expected Johhny Depp to appear as in Sleepy Hollow or was that wishful thinking , sorry I digress. Was this a one off, did fortune come my way, and all the miscreants we are frequently warned about busy elswher or a figment of imagination. Is the town hibernating as not a soul could be seen. Or was I visiting ...

I agree Don, but I am not sure how these sites are funded, if at all. In my ignorance I thought it had something to do with the ads that pop up when someone posts, if these dry up, will the ads and the income? Also if there are only a few posters, the replies to any subject become predicatable, maybe I am being too cynical, time will tell

Web Master this forum is dying. I for one think it is a shame as there is nothing like it in the area. I am may have been taken in by multi posting, but it seems to me many who used to post here have long gone. Looking back on last years threads and posts I wonder where the ridiculous to the profane have gone. Will this forum die or will it be injected by new blood, I will tell everyone I know ...

Me thinks you are taking the 'p' is it because you crave for attention, or are trying to to point out charties misdemenors, unfounded of course.

Noses in the Trough

Our esteemed G.Brown was laughing and joking with the same city bankers who have earned themselves millions to the demise of everyone else. All politics is corrupt whats the alternative? thats another debate

A bit of realism is needed here. A youth centre where alcohol was intened to be served would not get past the planning stage.

Fortunate
4 Oct 2008

All of us either by birth or choice who live in Devon are so very fortunate. We have the sea at our doorstep which can be as calm as a millpond or as angry as a raging bull and fills our imagination as well as our soul We have Dartmoor, exquisit as any painting in a fashionable gallery, for free, from rugged to postcard picturesque We have the countryside with its rich tapestry never still ...

When every thread becomes a rant to castigate the council, the concerns of the poster 're the council' become not only diluted but boring. Having one thread about the councils ills is all that is needed,then those who share the same concerns know where to go. Some of us do not appreciate all this 'mud slinging' and it is not what we come on here for. Perhaps there should be an insulting each ...
