Very true .. many shops must be thinking of 'upsticks' right now. I see no reason really to stay put.. the holiday people will shop up Exeter Road with the FREE parking, the locals are queing already lol, so trade surely has to be limited in town.

I see in the Dawlish paper someone is trying to scare people into thinking that as Tesco own the Post Office, if they open the Supermarket they will relocate the PO there! What people will do to try and convert people. Tesco postings are getting a bit tired now, is time for a new subject.
