India used to be classed as a Third World Country I believe and look how manyof the wealthiest individuals in the World are Indian. No doubt Cameron is out there to find out the secret, however we are now following their economic model already. Treat the lower classes (casts) just as slaves to the rich, poor housing, pitiful wages, women second class citizens and corruption rife in their political ...
I missed it but watched this morning, great pity it was filmed when the old tired railway footbridge was in situ though.

This is the major point raised when talking to visitors in Dawlish. Parking and the cost and harassement from the enforcement brigade. In South wales apparently there are now free car parks for shoppers in the towns and it is proving succesful. If the council keeps driving trade away by costs of parking and fines, more and more businesses will close and the council's lose revenue from business ...
We heard the same story last year and it still was not done. Why can't somebody approach Network Rail and have a large colourfull silk-screened printed banner with "Welcome to Dawlish" draped on either side of the bridge until they decide to replace it?

You could give them a call 01626 438151 between 9am - 5pm and I'm sure they could source good furniture items at reasonable prices. The British Heart Foundation has ...

Perhaps the advertisers could negotiate with Network Rail to place their banners over the railway bridge covering up the peeling paint and rust that looks disgusting. The first impression one gets especially if visiting Dawlish for ...
I've noticed that the mini golf is being under utilised this season only opening at week-end's and only when fine! last year I was employed by the local council along with 2 others and at the start of April we worked 16 hours a week each increasing to 20 during the height of the summer season finishing the 2nd week ion September. On the whole the facility was well supported and most days takings ...
