Thank you excellent presentation

This is now becoming stupid. Was up there yesterday and speaking to the agent from Cavanna. Apparently the need for all these houses is so great they have managed to sell, wait for it - Three. Someones having a laugh here and its obvious that public money is just being wasted on these projects. Whats the point in building houses that nobody wants or can afford, when there are no jobs and no ...

Strand Works
18 Feb 2013

1.7 million pounds wasted on constructing a footpath that without shops and parking will never be used, sounds about right for our three levels of council planning. As for shopping at Sainsbury's or any other supermarket well thats just "horseplay" when are people going to realise that everything these companies do is designed to make huge profits for themselves and nothing else.  Their fresh ...

Just had a look around and cannot see which if any of the three schemes proposed is actually being carried out. It looks like they are just constructing a new footpath on the lawn side.

Probably a local councillor that bought it,  through the back door of course

Its a good idea, its getting people to remember to post when they spot a good price. Maybe the webmaster could make the post into an updateable listing under the Services heading probably.

I say this as I overheard this type of conversation taking place in the back room of a shop in Teignmouth not so long ago. I think it true to comment ...

@Carer . We have had this issue many times on here and sadly if you research the subject in depth there are other factors to consider when buying fuel other than price. The supermarket fuel as you would expect is the lowest quality they can get away with when it comes to the Octane rating, its a bit like your pub landlord watering down the spirits only they do it with what they claim to be ...

New Warren Chippy
14 Feb 2013

Has anyone tried the new Warren chippy thats been open a week now. Its on the corner of the station road by the amusement arcade. Its worth a visit good and flexible menu, prices seem competetive. Tried the fish and chips last night. Fish excellent, chips room for improvement but certainly better than other local offerings. Give it a go chaps
