Might it be the case that an example of someone having balls would be for them to a write a letter to the local paper, and a not uncontroversial* letter at that, and to quite openly put their name to it? (* and of course it is only controversial if you disagree with its contents)
There were also coaches dropping off in Dawlish outside Baileys - I saw them. I was also told by my partner who had walked the dog at Sandy Lane playing fields earlier in this morning that there were 4 coaches parked up in the car-park by where the football club social club used to be. Not the same number of coaches as you report were in T'mouth admittedly, but the point is they were here today ...

It seems the The Children's Society will soon be adding their presence to our ever widening selection of charity shops (see the Shop Manager advert on page 31 in this week's Gazette). Anyone know where this new retail venture will be located?
Libby, you said it. I also thought it.
