An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Brilliant !! Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, (Don't get common sense muddled up with common purpose). who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons ...
Can I reply about what JD2017 has said for the benefit of others. The barrier that I refered too was not in Dawlish, it was in Exeter, and I was not the injured party. It should not have been there, but it was placed there by DCC. Now DCC has (I think) 68 Councillors and only one to my knowledge had been fighting for the removal of this barrier for over two years with no backing from other ...
The point I was making that it was the councils fault that both accidents occured through negligence of what happened. People that are elected into office, cry I'm a councillor - so what. but when a tradgedy happens, the blaim game begins and it will take great expense and many hours to sort both cases out. And who will be paying for that? JD2017, do you really know what caused the rapid spread ...
When people decide to cherry pick on what laws they think should apply and what ones do not, there is something radically wrong with the way our democracy is run. The CEO of DCC is the man responsible for the way things are done, and he and his other officers should make sure everything is run according to the letter of the law. They do not! and in my opinion that is the reason why local ...
Local authorities always pass the buck between themselves and councillor Clatworthy will assist in that process. All roads are the responsibilty of the county council or the highways agency. Teignbridge can process on behalf of the county whatever the county wants. Teignbridge has no authority whatsoever to block any road without the consent of the county. For those who haven't noticed, the ...
Why do some people try and tell us it is (FREE). How much did the £12 voucher cost?
It makes me laugh as well, but as it is from the store that advertises the prices, then if they do not have a good enough reason to keep to the advertised price, then maybe trading standards should look into it, which I am given to understand, they have been in certain parts of this country. And the bargain shop shelve life is not as bad as you are referring too. !2months for a packet of ...
Aern't you lucky! there are very few that have escaped one or the other. Regarding the costs. I gather that you have already bought a vehicle, taxed it, insured it and got it mot'd (if required) , You garage it for 364 days and then on the 365 day, drive it a mile down the road, thats an expensive miles to the gallon job.. Those costs are included in the AA/RAC calculations whether you use you ...
The AA and the RAC have inluded everything to work out the MPG and they don't include PCN for parking contraventions or FPN for speeding or other motoring offences which most people get sooner or later, but once you have paid your tax, insurance, mot if that is required, that takes a big chunk out of your running costs because you have alrady had to pay for it. £12 voucher is it worth it? I ...
leatash, so you think that saving £4 on just 8 items is not worth shopping around. I plan my journey's so that I do not waste money on that. Quite where you get 45p per mile makes me think you are driving a double decker bus. I kill many birds with one stone, so the saying goes-I think. You may think the nectar card and vouchers are a good idea. You should watch a programm on BBC called "rip off ...
