@flo , you missed the point dear, i was having a dig at mrs c for her derogatory reference to oaps!

Apparently a spokesperson at Network Rail said they will never agree to put benches on the sea wall due to health and safety reasons. When I asked in a meeting a couple of years ago what the reasons were I was told that people could stand on the benches to get onto the line! I did point out the that the low wall all the way to DW provided much easier access to the line!

Yes I always say to myself, sarcastically, when travelling around the country and seeing vast amounts of open countryside - "Gosh, this country is just so full" (or words to that effect). Click on this link to see the BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41901294

Let's hope for a nice dry day for their parade which sets off at 2:45pm. Show your support for our brave boys and girls who done their bit. Well done Dawlish RBL for organising this. Keep it up.

Over the whole of Teignbridge, only 5% of the land is built on, lower than the UK figure of 5.9%.   Food for thought for those that think that we’re living in a concrete jungle, or that our country is full. This is from the BBC land use map published today.

Many were from beyond repair, so for the safety I guess they were removed, don't see why items like this shouldn't reach the top of the to do list.

From 1st June 2016 to 31st May 2017 she claimed £46,199-74 this was for 213 seperate items and i can't be bothered to list them all.

Birds take priority over jobs, now i am all for conservation but there has to be a balance the trouble with Natural England is they are set on a course to protect wildlife at any cost and dont care one jot about folks trying to make a living working at places like the Boat House.

Was it not for safety reasons they were removed did one not get lifted from its position by heavy sea's and thrown on to the track.
