I don't 'do' an imaginary friend in the sky either but for those Christians that do I thought I would post this. http://www.christianbiblereference.org/story_GoodSamaritan.htm

Yes, but not everyone might need a collection every fortnight. And not all have a space for a large green bin.

"You can join the service at any time during the subscription period but you will still be required to pay the full amount of £35 for your permit." There is the alternative of GoGreenDevon. I believe it was agreed at last week's Dawlish Town Council meeting that one of the councillors would be writing about the GoGreenDevon scheme in the next Town Crier.

@John -distance between dw and dawlish via seawall path. a mile or so? Trains can get quite packed during the height of the season but if you are down here during the quieter times why not take your bikes on the train (you can cycle to DW station from Eastdon cottages, or go the other way and catch the train from Starcross) and investigate other parts of the area by bike.?

Will there be any more gentlemen's agreements I ask myself? And just how long will it be before what gets discussed/agreed etc at this private meeting ...
