General Discussion

If memory serves the Teignmouth market was stifled by the council who took heed of local traders fears that their sales could suffer. First the market was located in pellow Arcade, an out of the way backwater.

PETROL STRIKE
15 Jun 2008

Sorry but £39,000 looks like a lot of money from where I stand and it's really not that skilled. No sympathy from this neck of the woods! (Particularly after having had to cancel an important appointment today as had been gullible enough to believe Government's 'no reason to panic' line).

How unfair then that Mayor Wally Protheroe was pictured on the front page of the local paper on the play park's opening. You should have got the credit and the recognition.

I don't mind Lib Dems, but I don't like a closed shop which is a recipe for trouble. Down here though it's like the Labour Northern heartlands = where's the alternative vote? Any thoughts?

7 Jun 2008

Having gone by boat up the mouth of the Exe this afternoon it is clear that a lot of the sand has gone to extend the spit towards Exmouth. If this continues the danger is that in a winter storm a more westerly part of the Warren is breached - then big trouble upstream.

For God's sake NO!
