Dawlish station
8 Apr 2014

Maybe a green bridge with gold swan motifs...  The new footbridge could be livened up too, there are eight blank panels screaming out for attention.

I think Dawlish would be better off with a Dawlish Parkway at the back of the town.  Currently there's not enough to draw any meaningful tourism - with a handful of cafes and B&Bs, it's a day out for most. Not everyone wants to plonk themselves down on the sand, and a few benches on the sea wall don't serve them.  Put a station at the back of the town and locals are still served, tourists can ...

@leatash .  having taken everything in a bit more, i think you're right.  stench pipes aside, a green bridge would be in better keeping with the rest of the town than the drab one we've got.

dawlish webcam

Mrs C, I use the webcam to see where the tide is for walking the dog. No one in this household ever puts the timetable back in the right place.

'fraid someone's interfered with your radar Carer!   I had to look back over posts to see why i've rattled your cage and once I'd skimmed through your recent issues with Mrs C and Paul (I hadn't realised quite how hung up on them you are) I can see, months ago, that you didn't like me objecting to racism/bullying/bigotry.  Has it been niggling you all this time? instead of writing up your ...

Yep, that's a train!   Good old Dawlish webcam, don't even need to go down there to check.

Lynne, you can re-tune your TV yourself - got to the menu using your remote control.  If that doesn't get your channels back you might need to get your aerial checked. If you want to feed more than one TV try this signal booster. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/slx-4-way-aerial-booster-rt70m You would need to plug it on to an electrical socket and run the cable FROM the aerial to it and the ...

Elvis, just wondering why you felt the need to make a catty remark about Mrs C when you were sitting on the moral highground not that long ago.  Bit lonely up there?

I've had similar problems recently, the picture becomes pixilated.  I've re-tuned twice, once it fixed it, once it didn't. Am currently without Sky News for some reason I'm no expert but I think the are two transmitters feeding Dawlish - Stockland Hill and Dawlish (which relays from Stockland Hill), which is why you see aerials pointing in two directions.  Is your aerial in line with your ...
