See this week's Dawlish Gazette. (If memory serves, people living in that area pointed out to the planners way back in 2008/9 that there would be problems with sewage disposal. And were they listened to? Seems not). And I've found this - letter from South West Water dated 2012 concerning the new housing development(s) and sewage disposal. ...

Visted patient at Southmead yesterday (Saturday). Strongly suggest that if anyone else goes patient visiting that they do so at the weekend. Plenty of spaces in the car park. Whole complex so very, very, quiet compared to the mayhem of week days. If you can avoid going to Southmead Mon-Fri.  Do!

Yes I know Ziggy I see that a lot. If I look both to the back and front of my house I can see bungalows that have been extended both upwards and outwards. I imagine what can be both built upwards and outwards when it comes to bungalows though is dependent, like everything else, on planning regs/policies etc and where the bungalow in question is sited. I am pretty sure that a recent ...

look at my posting dated 27th May @08.39 that will tell you how I found that list of landlords

Well, I tell you what I was told at the time (2010?) about why this Tuesday market/car boot stopped. This is what was told to me by some of the regular car boot sellers. They said that the person who ran this (succesful!) Tuesday morning market/car boot had been priced out by another, open market only, outfit and that the owner of the field had followed the money and gone with the Wednesday ...

Yes - I agree the Tuesday market/car boot was good. There was always an AA man (or was it RAC?) at the entrance trying to recruit new members. Do you remember that? And a local on one of the stalls who sold amongst other things, eggs. But not your run of the mill eggs. Oh no! These were double yokers (as the man would call out to passing punters). The same man used to sell his double yokers at ...

Up until about 2009/10 there was a car boot sale every Tuesday morning in the field on Mount Pleasant Road. Then it stopped and the open air market replaced it - but on a Wednesday. But no car booters as I got told  (whether true or not, I don't know) that the market traders didn't want the competition. However, something must have changed as the car boot bit of the Wednesday market in the ...

No - the two are organised by two different people. The Thursday one has been going since 2009/10, fellow who runs it is called Mark. I think he lives in Exmouth and he also runs the carboot  at Lympstone. The one on Wednesday afternoon only started last year. I think, but I am not 100% certain, that it is run by the person who owns the field. I wouldn't say that the Thursday one is ...

The Wednesday market and car boot is held in the field opposite the bungalows in Mount Pleasant Road. @ 'Ol Lady Biker: Try the Thursday afternoon car boot that gets held at Warren Farm. That gets more sellers and more buyers. I shall deffo be there tomorrow - buying - and am presently on the look out for summer plants.......... The best time though is during the school holidays - that is ...
