Though they might ask 'what is this thing called the internet?' Sorry, getting more cynical by the minute.

Dawlish = Shidawl?

If everyone else is dead, how do you know you are alive?

Hi!, We are a young couple currently relocated to Dawlish. We are looking for one bedroom furnished flat or shared accomodation.Please e-mail us if you have any information.Thanks.

It was in the herald express last year, also the news of the world:- http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/story_pages/news/news3.shtml

I'd say set phasers to stun, but would there be any noticeable difference in the effect?

yeh right I can see that happening. can you imagine what would be on it!!!!!!!! Still gives them another excuse to doss about.

The chap that looks after them is called Phil, and Iam emarassed to say I cant remember his last name. He actually lives there where the carriges are, I will try to get a phone no. for you when I see him next.

i agree dawlish beach is disgusting. if you go on holiday abroad the beaches are cleaned either overnight or early mornings

as a busted fan i personally think that there was no problem atall espesially not as the way you are putting it. You can not expect people to stay seated at such an event as this one and taking into mind that it was an outdoor event you should have realised first off the only way of getting a good veiw was to arrive early!! as you have said your two sons are kids and really should not be bought to ...

Glad you like it. Thought this was the most logical first step. By the way 'no holds barred' as I think we should let allow people to discuss whatever issue they are interested in. I don't think anyone who has posted here has been offensive, maybe a 'bit silly' at times in some peoples eyes, but who cares... (I don't). Post what you like as I have a disclaimer at the bottom of the site! If ...

currently mine costs £17.99 from wanadoo for a 1 meg connection, only has 2 gig download though

I think its a really good idea. Its only a few steps away from where I live and I believe they operate a smoking ban. As my other half smokes, I would welcome the chance to enjoy a quiet evening drink without the intrusion of tobaccos smoke. But I am worried about our councillors. Where will they go?

How about 1) a future where nobody posts. i.e exactly like the past. or 2) a future where people are only permitted to say ....'oooerrr, I don't like change, lets keep things as they are. Change is anathema to my vestigial reptilian aft-brain' Fixed handles are a possible idea - but I should think right now the webmaster is just chuffed that for the first time his board has caught fire and is ...

Important Dawlish people are monitoring this Board - though in view of their importance, (and the fact that they have drunk too much sherry), cannot actually post. Please do not talk about anything silly, to wit:- a) Can I get HIV from "Gays Creamery" b) What would happen to the swans in the event of a tsunami? c) I saw Saddam Hussein in Gareth's Newsagents. Please confine yourselves to key ...

Does anyone agree with me that its time that Dawlish became a republic? i think we should cut ourselves off from the rest of europe and deal with our own affairs I.E exports,public floggings e.t.c i would be very interested to hear other peoples view on this matter.

Duck is too greasy for me i much prefer moorhen i dont seem to have seen too many of them around though just latley.

This was about 25 years ago - but it really did happen and was widely reported at the time. Two French Exchange students went on to Dawlish beach - not the main beach, but further down towards Rockstone. The girls took off their bikini tops, much to the annoyance of an elderly Dawlish bloke walking his dogs. The old gimmer started throwing rocks at them, cursing that they should conceal their ...

I really enjoyed my friday nights out @The South Devon , with the karaoke with ian and john.But they are not there no more any one know were they have gone to ?

A SOUTH Devon soccer club for youngster was almost brought to the knees by a fiddling treasure who milked thousands of pounds from the club. Read the rest in the Herald Express ! Dawlish United Football club needs sponsors for all ages , this could be a small amount to buy a football, to a large ammout for a team kit.Its a shame the young generation after suffer over someones greed!you can all ...

can't comment on that because I ain't on the carnival commitee, perhaps you should go and speak to a member of the commitee about that at their next agm. I've spoken to a member today and it appears that the waiting list is only 3 yrs!!! so you'd better make your mind up soon.

We are currently working on the next version of the website which will solve this problem. I guess the discussion forum is the best place for anyone who wants to contribute any ideas.

technicaly i've lived in dawlish since i was 3 days old was born at the old maternity hospital in exeter, now it's a block of trendy flat's for imigrants from london with too much money who keep pushing up house prices down here. Yes dawlish could evolve into newquay, etc but most of the boom's in newquay etc are because they look after their tourist rather than abuse them by caving their head's ...

Are you from Dawlish? I didn't know people in Dawlish had a sense of humour. A+

Time to close down that Amusement Arcade though. It really has become increasingly desperate in its resources. 2 p coin shifting machine. I mean ....really, come on ! By all means preserve the low wall opposite for reasons of posterity, for it has been the historical bum-warming site of countless Dawlish teenagers. Under my Lord Mayoralty i'm afraid the nearby mini gold would get nailed too.

Maybe in the Town Crier - Dawlish Post? Also a poster in the Tourist Info centre and Library.

My late father was the NOIC in KURE (HMS COMMONWEALTH) between 1947 - 49 and my late mother, and I and my sister lived for much of this time. We travelled by troopships Dilwara and Dunera between Southampton and Hong Kong and then, because of pirates, onboard the Y SANG (sounded 'ee-sang') between Hong Kong and Kure. My sister has just returned from visiting Kure with her husband who is now the ...

I am trying to trace a family that lived in Dawlish Warren during the 60's. The family name was Proctor, comprising of 2 brothers , 1 sister and an elderly father. They lived at Mt Pleasant Road. Any information in helping me locate them would be gratefully received. Thankyou

Firefighters had to force their way into a South Devon nightclub after smoke and flames were seen coming from the second floor of the premises. The alarm at Cools in Teignmouth was raised by a shopper passing the scene in Northumberland Place. Firefighters from the town were joined by crews from Dawlish and Torquay to deal with the incident just after 9am. It is believed the fire in an office had ...
