Selling lottery tickets off the street is against the law. Rotary sell lottery tickets from outside the Lloyds bank and opposite the bank is a CCTV camera. But then those that are affiliated to Rotary are above the law, aren't they Mr Protheroe? Who is Mr Protheroe? He is the Mayor of Dawlish in case you haven't noticed.

Agreed Ann, and everybody has been sleep walking into it. I have just had two rear tyres stab with a dart and the near side of the car keyed, right under a CCTV camera. Sorry the do not work at night.

Devon General was government owned in the 1970's. News to me! no matter, I am talking about what went on before that date. Devon General had been providing a longer distance, county wide service since 1919. In 1947 Exeter Corporation agreed with Devon General to jointly operate some routes within a ten mile radius of the city to prevent unnecessary duplication. (that was when the amalgamation ...

With the money spent on the useless CCTV system we now have, we could have bought a 30 acre field with the same money, (three times the size of Sandy Lane playing fields.) Now that would be of considerable benefit to all in Dawlish for many, many, many different activities. What have we now? A field where activities are being packed in like sardines in a tin. And who do you think should be ...

Many years ago I remember there was Exeter City Transport, who controlled and operated all the bus routes within the city boundary. Any other bus company wishing to enter the city, could only do so, if they first dropped their passengers off at any of the city limits, who would then have to catch the Exeter City bus (and pay again) to go where ever they wished to travel in the city. There was an ...

Today on the telly, I saw an article where they were highlighting the scammers, (those that rip other people off) They could not believe how many people are sucked into the work from home scam, how many people will pay in advance for something to a total stranger only to find out later that the stranger has got what he wanted and doesn't return. I warn people all of the time of such happenings ...

Some of us have been trying to warn others of the dangers of accepting things at face value. Others have been trying to rubbish the warnings, for reasons best known to themselves. I would like to inform Don, That once upon a time, agenda's of the meetings held for Dawlish Town Council, where placed on the web site in their entirety and once upon a time members of the public could address THE ...

What did you write about Runella? Coranation Street, Deal or no Deal, Eastenders, Songs of Praise. Or was it something a bit more juicier than that?

I think you will find Ann, that those that were trying to defend the indefensible, lost their arguments. They have nothing more to say, so they stay away. There is so much corruption going on in and around Dawlish (Dawlish is not unique by the way)that some of them were trying to defend a situation without throwing up the facts. If we sow a seed of doubt, we do not expect them to come back with ...
