The imminent closure of a children's nursery in Newton Abbot has prompted this post. CHILD MINDERS NEEDED URGENTLY. SEE FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD TO FIND OUT MORE. YOU'LL NEVER BE SHORT OF WORK!

Repeating rumours, for reasons I've explained above I will not do. However, repeating facts is another matter. I've just remembered  this thread, started off by @Likeablerat as it happens, concerning certain Conservative Cllrs during the time of the Conservatives being in control of TDC.
