Well said from Leeds. The West Country people seem to have a problem with tourists, in Cornwall it is worse. They want visitors but don't if you follow. What they forget is they have the nerve to go on holiday themselves in other areaa of the country and expect to be welcomed. It's a good thing the West Country Tourist Information do not adverise this discussion board.. people would soon choose ...

P.s Your the sad twat!

A commuter who takes a popular train to work says he will be forced to start driving the 13 miles into Exeter when the service is axed. Richard Frewin, 36, travels to his office near Exeter Central Station on the 7.46am service from his home in Dawlish. It gets him into the city in plenty of time for the start of his day's work at 8.30am. But after a timetable shake-up, which comes into force in ...

does any one know of the star cross nursery in Dawlish its a plant nursery not a childrens nursery, thank you, mary

I'm currently researching my family history, and have traced the Cridge's back to Queen Street and The Strand from 1841 onwards. I would be very grateful for any information or pictures you have. Thanks in anticipation.

Yes I see. I can imagine that there is a 'ring' whereby the builders collaborate to keep prices low and don't gazump each other. Daresay there is a kickback in it for the estate agent. I've been quoted an estimate by a local estate agent to place a land plot on their sale books - their suggested price seems unbelievably high. Like, twice what I was envisaging.

Brixham Coastguards dealt with three hoax calls yesterday, which tied up valuable resources which could have been needed for real emergencies. The first call came in to the operations room as a 999 call at 2.30 pm this afternoon. The caller reported that a person was hanging over a cliff and needed immediate assistance. However, the Coastguard quickly realised that the informant was a hoaxer since ...

Ha ha! this post made me laugh sounds like a good idea though

Three beaches in south Devon have reopened after being shut to bathers because of a sewage leak. Water at Dawlish beach, Coryton Cove and Boat Cove was affected after about 700 cubic metres of sewage leaked from a South West Water pumping station. The beaches were given the all-clear after samples assessed by the Environment Agency showed water met European bathing standards.

My apologies for the levity. The comments by SZ4 were extremely witty however, sorry I couldn't reach that level. For what its worth I think you are entirely right. Daw Vale should not be closed. My sister used to visit OAPs there and I joined her once or twice, although I gave up when one of the old dears took a fancy to me.

Could be a better sight than Dawlish girls, judging by the sweathogs standing outside Dawlish Secondary Modern. Getting a bit worried about Mark's increasing neurosis about Dawlish though.

So what if anyone does know anything about "the stabbing" its a police matter and should not be for the small minded town gossipers that feed on rumours to fill their little empty lives!

Why do the residents of dawlish make such an issue of the carnival. personally dressing up like a fool and cram packing the pubs seems utterly small minded. I can see why the carnival may be a positive thing for children but my concerns are with why fully grown adults go to the pub to numb thereselves with alcohol rather than doing something much more constructive!

I try to make sure that if I need something quickly I can lay my hands on it. My best holiday ever was to...Dawlish, in Devon, with my family when I was 10 or 11.

The Dawlish B team also qualified for the quarter-finals but went down to Crediton B on a golden goal.

And when he rang Teignbridge council to protest, he was told they could only consider appeals in writing. Mr Kenyon has been looking after his elderly mother's ...

Five teenagers had to be rescued when they were stranded on a beach near Exmouth yesterday. The youngsters, who were said to be from Exeter, Exminster and Dawlish, were cut off by the tide on Sandy Bay. They were rescued unhurt by Exmouth Coastguard and given safety advice.

THE completion of the eastern side of the Exe estuary cycle way moved a step closer this week after Devon County Council formally approved the plans for the £2.2 million Exmouth to Lympstone stretch of the route. But the council refused to back the proposed £2 million section between Lympstone to Exton amid concerns from residents. This part has been referred back to the council's planners and is ...

I used to visit Warren Holiday Centre every year for about 5 years in the 1980's. Wondered if anybody has anything related to the park back then? The evening entertainment used to include 'Pip Critten' and 'Soppo the Clown'. I can remember it used to have a yellow emblem if that helps! Thank you

She was the widow of James Lighton, Major in the Bombay Horse Artillery. Ddn't find a headstone, but I noticed two other graves of people connected with the Indian Army, one very grand in the name of Sage, with ...
