Dawlish Man, I would not want to give the impression that the current use of Google Street is high on my list of concerns. The proliferation of cctv would be much higher and I know that we have different views on that. However, I believe that the raw images from Google Street and its successors, which may then contain live photographs and video, could be published and misused by state or ...
You can take it for granted that I do understand Dawlish Man's posts.
Dawlish Man, .... although, as I do not expect you to agree, you may not find it sensible. I certainly have no interest in trying to persuade you or anyone else to agree with me and I do not have time to compose a fully reasoned statement of my views. I hope that this will do as a brief summary. I think that photographing or filming people without their knowledge and then publishing the results is ...
I agree. I have to say that I can see no merit in it, nor does it have any "public good" defence.

My apologies. Rare though it is, as you say, the word does exist. I was just being catty although I thought you had hit the "u" by mistake. Serves me right!! Don

Among the beneficiaries were the current mayor, Geoff Wills, his predecessor, Wallie Protheroe, and the mayor prior to that, Rosalind Prowse. Mr. Wills might do well to consider that the popular mandate for his ...
Few, if any, Dawlish councillors received a vote of more than 18% of the total electorate. Some were elected without any vote because fewer people stood than there were seats. In the face of such an overwhelming majority despite the appallingly unbalanced advertisement they placed in the local paper, I think they would do well to acquiesce. I live in Teignmouth but observing this campaign in ...
I'm afraid I disagree with the two posts above. A lot of people, irrespective of gender, swear amongst themselves with nobody taking offence. There are plenty of forums where this is true. Swearing in itself is not indicative of stupidity or lack of vocabulary. I don't object to swearing, nor would I want to tell anyone how to write their posts. However, on a general forum such as this, there are ...
