General Discussion

@roberta - checked out the facebook link, mandy bach posted a comment on the page stating that there is a covenance on the lawn which does not allow any building on the area. does anyone know about this? She also states this is why the bandstand was never redeveloped

The rot set into the NHS decades ago with the ever inflating management with their only goal to save as much money as possible and keep as few beds as possible with patients in them. The reason for this is that they get paid bonuses for spending less. The people who should be working to get more money for the NHS and making sure the staff and patients are supported 100% are the ones destroying ...

Leadsom or May
8 Jul 2016

A call for no confidence in the government should be made. Obviously all those in denial who never thought Brexit would come to pass are still unable to comprehend what the people have decided on. We need a general election so the people can decide which party should be leading this country through the Brexit process. The conservaties are doing everything in their power to slow/stop this ...

I would be interested to hear the opinions of those that use the lawn balls to the possibilty of the new play area being next to the bowling green.  Anyone who knows a person who partakes in the lawn bowls at Dawlish ask them if they would like to add their comments on this post.

Freedom of Speech

The right to freedom of speech is allowed as long as it falls within the boundaries of the LAW, so it is a freedom with limitations and not a right to say anything you wish if it offends and/or causes fear/stress/panic/etc,etc,etc. Similar to saying you can do anything you like, but having to bear the consequences if what you have done is against the law or offends someone/group/minority if you ...

Independence Day

The vote was in favour of exiting, but it's now up to the government if they see fit to act on the wishes of the people! Stop having a go at the webmaster, any of you lot want to take on the role, if not give the person a break. Morty Vicker or who ever the nasty person is should be the one getting the attention not the webmaster.

I was on my way to N Abbot a few days ago and there were two lycra clad lads on racing bikes who took it in turn to move several feet out from the curb. From what I could observe they were merely doing this to block traffic from getting past them.You can't talk to these people as you just get your car kicked or verbally abused or both. Who do these cyclist think would win if push came to shove? ...

Just happened to be walking by the church yesterday evening and captured this on my phone, quality is okay, but not brilliant, apologies. Fantastic air display in its own right. I'd like to see the Red Arrows perform a display in these numbers.... now that would be a sight to see. Amazing sound coming from so many martins. ...

Took these yesterday evening. First time I have seen a pair of white swans on the brook, at least they can fly away when they want. Nice to see the young ones and the white swans making an appearance.

@slargemail - i agree that many people do not vote in elections, probably because they feel they are rigged anyway. millions of people voted for ukip and they only got 1 mp! compared to a lot less votes for snp and they got 56 seats. the democratic voting system does not give a true reflection of the votes placed and until a tick box for 'none of the above'   is placed on every election voting ...
