General Discussion
I agree that the type of visitor that is attracted to Dawlish is something else. How many of you locals have noticed an increase in dog crap on the pavements, since the start of the holiday season? How many of you have noticed that you are pushed out into the road by those ignorant infiltrators? How many of you have been caught waiting behind a sandwich board outside of a certain shop in the ...
How many of his hard working staff get this? The national minimum wage, currently £5.52, rises to £5.73 on 1 October. And how many of his staff do not get that because they are under the said age?

jambuster says, "WELL SPENT DAWLISH TOWN COUNCIL, BUT STILL IT WAS NEVER YOUR MONEY SO THATS OK." Just like the article on the front page Dawlish Post, 23 May 2008. (Cheques handed out by town mare.)
