How can the government consider HS2 as a priority, when nothing has been done to prevent rail travel in Devon and Cornwall. I would think it's importance for supplies to the Navy in Plymouth alone would be a major concern.
There is likely to be no deal only because the EU dont want a deal what they want is for the UK to stay in, i believe they need us more than we need them. Just consider Lynne the damage we could do to the car industry in Europe it works both ways and they know it.

Well my glass is still well and truly half full.
Thank you guys for always putting such lovely pictures on this site. I do not often post here, but I do see them and enjoy them. It was lovely to be walking the dog in Sandy Park this afternoon and see so many people enjoying the snow. It is not often that the snow visits here, but when it does, it takes seconds for kids to dust off their toboggans!!
The dredger "Mannin" had been picking up silt from Exmouth Marina and dumping it off Sprey Point in Teignmouth. Last weekend the beach at Teignmouth changed from red to black, causing deep concern.
