Of course you can Frannie. Just don't tell anyone else or they'll all want to join! I presume you are ok with taking part in the initiation ceremony? To clarify, you're not allergic to goats are you?

"Miscreants"? Oh dear, you're none too bright are you with your attempts to mask your ID...

Did you forget to close your tag?

Sorry to upset the cynics and killjoys ("attention seeking" - where the hell did that come from??), but my better half and myself are going to be taking part ("running" isn't the right word!) in the Loughborough Santa Fun Run on Sunday 7th December. Why Loughborough - maybe it's because home is where the heart is... ...

I wonder what the Angry Mob will have to say about that? He'll probably claim that you're John Winchester AND Mike Stevens!

And here he comes, right on cue............ Can you hear the theme tune to The X Files in the background?

My sympathies go to the family of the poor lady. If and when he's found guilty, I hope he gets the maximum punishment possible for causing death by dangerous driving / manslaughter. Thanks for the link Viaduct. Reading some of the comments at the bottom of the article makes me realise why I would never buy or read the Daily Mail. Cheap political point scoring over the sad and completely avoidable ...

What's to expose? He's been found guilty and will be punished. And so he bloody well should be. Shirley his prosecution demonstrates that the "system" is not untouchable? Thanks for sharing the good news with us. :-)

You probably have some very good points to make Viaduct, but unfortunately they are being drowned by your abusive language. For everyone's benefit, including your own, can you try again but without the abuse please? Many thanks.

To answer your questions in turn: 1. Yes. 2. No. 2. No.

A COMMUNITY association has been given £25,000 to help young people struggling with spiralling debt. Teignmouth Community Association has been given the sum by high street bank Barclays to help people understand more about financial management. The cash boost is a welcome lift in a week which has seen major banks go bust and others hatch rescue plans amid a gloomy economic outlook. The money will ...

Hi William. The Dawlish Bridge Club meets at the Manor House every Wednesday between 2pm and 5pm. Telephone 888281 and ask for Derrick Willey.

DAWLISH youngsters could have access to a state-of-the-art youth centre costing around £750,000 if new plans are given the go-ahead. Dawlish Action for Youth want to build the 'Rolls Royce' of youth centres, including class rooms and training areas, at Sandy Lane. Plans submitted to Teignbridge Council and recommended for approval, incorporate a facility for vocational learning. Planning ...

Yes please Don. After reading so much guff on here, I'd be interested in reading some facts about this. Looking forward to finding out what your acquaintances have to say.

Hi Sue. The only one I'm aware of is Susanne Welsh at 37 the Strand. Her number is 862648‎. I'm not sure if she's also known as Sue! ;-)

Neither of you has acknowledged that the fact that crime rates are down is GOOD news for the citizens of Dawlish, and its visitors. Why is that, I wonder? Interesting that Viaduct has twice written "your councillors"...... Crime rates are down - FACT.

In light of postings by other correspondents on here in the last 24 hours, shouldn't this repetitive SPAM be posted on the Notices forum? My opinion is that it should be, what do others think?

Good point ZIGGY. I'll post news on there and if I have an opinion on it or think that others might have an opinion on it, only then shall I post it here as well. Cheers. :-)

Work is starting in Dawlish on an extension to a footpath in the town centre. The footway extension will form a link alongside Dawlish Water at Brunswick Place, which was originally very narrow and difficult to navigate. The work forms part of a regeneration project for the town centre, supported by Teignbridge Council. It has put £200,000 worth of funding to the scheme over three years. Work on ...

Well done Kay. Good news for her and good news for Dawlish. Thanks for sharing this with us Dullish Roy.

User 4549 wrote in reply to wondering: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/in_depth/uk_house_prices/html/18uh.stm Try the above link and see if your sarcasm is justified I've looked at that link, and it says that Teignbridge house prices are coming down. More good news that I'm sure that Viaduct would approve of. Thanks for sharing it with us...

There's no need to be abusive Dullish Roy. You posed the question "is this an indicator..." I asked "in what way?" I can't see an answer to my question in this thread. Like I've already said, I truly don't know whether to think that this is a good idea or a bad idea. To assist me, could you please answer my question and also the point raised by Ziggy re. the revise planning application? Thank you. ...

Viaduct wrote: Do you have any evidence of that? Or is it the start of a rumour that you are so good at? Might I kindly point you towards the link that I provided. Thank you.

Thanks for spotting that Don. :-)

Well said. I've kept out of this particular squabble, because I've realised that it's a waste of time trying to reason with the likes of Dullish Roy. I've learnt my lesson, and funny though it is to see the floor being wiped with Dullish Roy tonight, I'm keeping well out of it. This should be a Dawlish forum for people who live in or care about Dawlish and the locale.

Crime has dramatically plunged in Teignbridge. Over the last three years, offences have dropped by a massive 20 per cent. In 2003-2004, 4,769 crimes were recorded, but in the past 12 months the figure was down to 3,728, smashing a government target. The Home Office gave Teignbridge a target to reduce crime by 15 per cent and the challenge was co-ordinated by a community safety team. In the last ...

Has anyone on here seen any of the scarecrows on display (obviously those that don't live here won't have done)?

Naked man arrested at Cockwood after night up a tree with his mouth organ A naked man was nabbed by police after he climbed a tree near Dawlish Warren, played a mouth organ and refused to come down. The 44-year-old was arrested under the Mental Health Act at about 7am yesterday. A police spokesman said the man was seen wandering around Dawlish Warren naked from the waist down at 9.40pm on Tuesday ...

Actually, Viaduct, I do consider it to be good news. :-) Whilst understanding that wherever one is or whatever one does there is always room for improvement, believe you me we could be in far, far worse places than here. I'm happy. It's not perfect, but there again where/what/who is? Remember that there is no utopia, except for when you close your eyes...

You're beyond hope mate. I've provided you with honest answers in the hope that you might be able to absorb them and then be able to take part in a reasoned debate without resorting to abuse, libel or distortion. That was obviously a vain hope. I'll leave you to wallow in your own mire of libelous delusion. Good luck pal. You need it.

For sale on ebay at the moment is an original postcard showing the view from the Royal Hotel in 1907. It's a wonderfully evocative image and one that I heartily recommend you take a look at.

Dawlish Town climbed to the top of the Toolstation Premier League after a 3-1 Sandy Lane win over Ilfracombe Town. Teenage striker Joe Bushin, signed from Liverton United last season, bagged a brace which took his tally to six for the season. Antony Lynch put Town one up and, even after the Bluebirds levelled, it was the home side who continued to ask all the questions and it was no surprise when ...

Torquay, Dawlish and Dartmouth all hoisted flags after London's mayor Boris Johnson received the official flag from his counterpart in Beijing during a spectacular closing ...

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Bank Holiday as much as I did. A fabulous but hectic afternoon and evening on Saturday was followed by a more relaxing Sunday. We were unable to have a picnic, so we opted for a lovely lunch at a riverside country inn followed by a brisk walk along the river bank. Monday itself was a very long day - exhausting but very worthwhile. If you've never been to Lincoln, I ...

Thank you for a thoughtful, intelligent and insightful posting Don. The sentiments that you express within it will certainly be taken on board by myself.

Quote from Dullish Roy: Why is your pride in Britain based solely on sport? Like I said.....culturally lacking. I see you gave no response to the United Kingdom point. When did I say that my pride in Great Britain was based purely on sporting achievement? You assume far, far too much me owd china. As to your final sentence, I gave no response because (as you state) it was a point, not a question. ...

An excellent idea ZIGGY. Please let us know how you get on when you contact the Town Council with your idea, because I'd love to see a regular Farmers Market on the Lawn. Cheers.

Pardon me? I'm sorry to have to ask, but are you having a bit of a funny turn? You see, you're not making an sense and I'm a little bit worried about you.
