In Vienna, they are testing the dog poo for DNA, which they compare to a database. If you let your pooch be registered in the database, you are exempted from pooch tax.

I would agree. I spent much more than five minutes on it. I lived in Dawlish and Teignmouth for the first 20 years of my life. For the first 13 of those, I lived above the Fountain Cafe. It's tremendous to be able to show colleagues in The Hague, where I now live, where I was brought up. It's a shame about this forum though - It needs some strong moderation

The South West's main rail line will not be re-routed in the immediate future despite concerns over sea wall defences, the rail minister has said. Derek Twigg was responding to a Commons debate on Tuesday about the long-term viability of the line at Dawlish, which is just a few feet from the sea. Sea defences were not due to fail in the "foreseeable future", he said. Fears about global warming ...

Hi my name is Peter, I live in East Cliff Road, Dawlish and run a company called Total Property Maintenance. I do pretty much all trades, inc., emergency call outs, plumbing, electrics, etc., my numbers are 07810 648 467 & 01626 863223. Have a nice summer, Peter.

Further up date on my original posting. The WEST is obviously BEST because my daughter has just been accepted at Falmouth University in Penryn after an interview last week. It was a fair old journey down for us but worth it in the end. What a superb Uni it is too.

I am a single professional woman needing a house with garage and off-roading parking in the Dawlish area. I am a non-smoker and have no children but do need to house my two very clean dogs. Please don't let that put you off - I am currently renting in Dawlish and have impeccable references for both myself and the dogs. Terms and rent are open to discussion. I hope someone can help.

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.

Paul Many thanks for the kind offer. I'll bear it in mind for the future! Take care - Pete

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately it is a bit difficult to get there at the moment as I am in Sunny Queensland in Australia. Maybe one day I would love to visit Dawlish! Is there anyone who could take a photo of the White Hart Pub and its cottages or could someone give me their address so I could write to them. Dianne

I was not slating anyone.

Hi In reply to your request for pictures of Dawlish cottages and where to get them....... There is a vast collection of old pictures of Dawlish in the Dawlish museum which may be worth a look, alternatively I know the White hart pub had some pitures of the roads around the pub but I am not sure which way they were taken, but it may be worth popping in and asking as they are good pictures. They ...

SAILING: NINETEEN Exe SC dinghies assembled out to sea off Dawlish Warren on Sunday afternoon to enjoy some of the closest racing of the season. Race officer Frankie Upton set a short triangular course that provided many of opportunities for close, boat-on-boat racing with lots of position changes. While the sun was seldom seen, the force two-to-four west-north-westerley breeze was perfect for ...

Its known as 'The Dawlish Effect'. It happens a lot. Many theories have been put forward - the Dawlish Fog, a portal to another universe, midnight kidnappers. The longer you stay in Dawlish the greater your chance of never being seen again. Get out while you have the chance!

South Devon Parks, a family business which operates at two sites in Paignton and Dawlish, is owned by a Mr and Mrs Wrathall. The deal follows the £130m acquisition of Cinque Ports by private equity group Graphite ...

On the bicentenary of the great engineer's birth, exhibitions and re-enactments abound and one or two Isambard Kingdom look-alikes are doing good business. The diminutive genius didn't mind a row, and it would be intriguing to know what he would make of the controversy surrounding one of his most picturesque creations - the stretch of the Great Western Railway between Exeter and Plymouth. Running ...
