Great!
I couldn't resist this!! Horses for Courses We’ve eaten horse, we feel remorse. What used to gallop is now escalope, medallion of stallion, well done or rare, fruits de mare. Astride them we ride them, we pace them, we race them. They’re skittish, we’re British. It’s just our way, say ay or neigh that they should stay in fields of green not wither unseen from stable to dining ...
There was an old woman who swallowed a horse she's dead of course http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21034942
@Paul . soylent green is the ultimate solution - food for all, population control, reduced demand on natural resources, lower co2 emissions as a result and therefore less global warming. a win-win scenario
It's worth fighting if you can stand the bureaucracy of it. I've done it twice and won both times. But of course all this means is that I've tied up resources of the local council and who pays for that - we do through taxes.
Yes, saw one train early this morning so I assume that Exeter line is now open but haven't seen anything on tele about it
Good turnout for the Boxing Day dash in Teignmouth. RNLI ran out of registration forms so more people than normal/expected must have turned up to brave the sea which actually wasn't as cold as I thought it would be - a pleasant 11 deg or thereabouts, apparently warmer than the air temperature. A few tots of sloe vodka afterwards worked a treat.
They are still working round-the-clock to remove the cliff debris which fell in both the original slip and the 2nd one 4-5 days ago. Latest estimate is completion of this part by 4 o'clock tomorrow. But they then still have to carry out the repairs. Don't know when that will start and what effect there will be on traims but of course trains from Exeter are still not coming through anyway.
Was told today that the line between Dawlish and Teignmouth will be closed from evening of Christmas Eve to morning of 27th December to carry out the land-slip repair work. It also looks like work will continue for up to two months after that but no details as yet.
Agreed. They just said some time over the Xmas period. Apparently it depends on getting this special digger with a long reach which then has to be trained in from Dawlish.
