General Discussion
@Nelson - this isn't about censorship on the net at all but appears to be about vindictiveness. i realsie you are bitter about some things which have happened to you in the past but you need to move on. i am neither religious nor christian but there are some interesting lessons in morality in the bible which people can learn from. the one i'm thinking of is "let him who is without sin among you ...
Absolutely right. Drop this discussion thread - it serves no purpose whatsoever.
Good site and good look with the preparations!
I agree. Short-time limited strret parking, together with paid parking, seems to work well in Teignmouth. No reason, apart from lack of political will, that it shouldn't work similarly in Dawlish.

A tribute to Betjeman and Dawlish ...... Post-watching bloggers on Dawlish.Com Down here at the forum when our broadbands don’t bomb.

I'd like to know which bird was watching the colonels on the old sea wall. A baudy birdy indeed as were the Dawlish wenches in Keats' poem.

Yes Morrisons is on its way. I'm hoping it won't have same impact as Sainsburys on Dawlish. Getting through Teignmouth to Broadmeadow can frequently be quite a traffic ordeal - easier to get to Sainsbury's for any bulk shopping.
