Thanks Al - why is it people have to be so harsh without reading what you have said properly - duhhhh!!!

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?

Jambuster - how on earth can you be indoctrinated at a Town council meeting? They're not the Moonies for goodness sake, moast of them are just a bunch of retired people with good (maybe sometimes misguided) intentions trying to do their best for the town they live in! Or perhaps they are all the spawn of Satan, should we look for 666 under their foundation garments!!! Get a grip.

oblivious has obviously got it wrong. Anarchy rules at the Manor. With the elections coming up, of course they are patting themselves on the back. When they get in, they try and stab you in the back.

Our esteemed Town Clerk J Winchester made that statement in the Express & Echo 18th April. My question is if so many Black Swans have been lost Quote "Slaughterd By Dogs" why did they this year SELL FIVE? I am sure a lot of residents would like the answer to that question.

What is a nice way to die? Being bottled by a drunk? - er no thanks

A famed tourist attraction in a Devon resort has been dealt a new blow.In the wake of recent reports that Dawlish's black swans had been decimated by predators, it has now been revealed that the annual display of chicks at the Dawlish Brook waterfowl enclosure has been cancelled.

Wow everybody's getting quite heated here! One simple question about parking and off you all go about who knows what?! Why can't you all just get on with eachother?

Although yes, it would be nice if it was ...
