Ditto - i'd like to know about the infants and junior schools.

I don't agree. Flames should be kept prominent. Hiving them off to some closeted passworded area is exactly what the kleptocrats on the town council want.

The new Butlins???

The tourists seen milling around Woolworths and Somerfield are the worst kind of ASBO scum. Sweathogs who make their living by reproducing more midlands-spawn in order to get welfare benefits.

Yes, either he is lying, or stupid. Which is it? Presumably he knows full well that the birds are being stolen and have not been eaten by a dog/fox.

When I was young there were none whatsoever, or none that would sleep around with me. Is the original poster upset by the moral turpitude, or complaining because none is coming in his direction?

Thanks for that link. Yes I agree. No feathers or blood. They've been stolen. As Devon saw with the beached ship recently, its become a scavengers world. People wouldn't see ship-salvage as stealing, nor kidnapping swans as theft. They would see it as a victimless crime. At least the swans aren't dead, but replacing them is pointless. What a shame.

12 dead in one year? For gods sake Dawlish, you're not Baghdad. You can't even look after a few birds. You all belong in Langdon Mental Hospital.

The steaming mess was simply left there as it proceeded, doing a wheelie, or whatever it is these disrespectful canine-boarders call it. What would have happnened if a kiddy mistook it for a mars bar and ate it? I think it is disgusting. Why oh why oh why........and ...

Dawlish Railway

I was in Shanghai last week and went on the maglev train a couple of times.. You really should get one in Dawlish instead of that atmospheric railway thing. It travels at 420 kilometres an hour, just think how quickly you could get to Newton Abbot.
