I wholeheartedly support the welfare state but was taken by surprise recently when a friend of a friend got divorced. She gets £2000 per month spousal maintenance (tax free) from her ex. She's a qualified teacher but chooses to work the minimum hours as a Teaching Assistant in order to qualify for Tax Credits and for that she gets £1000 per month tax free because, guess what, maintenance ...
I think you got quite an unkind response. We don't all click on Events looking for something to do but if it's flagged up here, it might jog somebody. It was hardly a sin whoever your god is or isn't.
So no truth in the rumour they were planning to replace the bandstand with a giant bike shed and force the cultural pavilion to have a gift shop selling only Lycra shorts? Shame, I'd have been down there every day.
Margaret, you and JC are here for a bitchfest. If you were any decent councillor you'd address plenty more issues about Dawlish than your one crusade about the pavilion. You and your limited posse seem to lurk here merely because Michael Clayson is more present and effective than you.
It's just like a first review on Tripadvisor - one couldn't have written it better oneself ;)
Keep up Cllr S, not everything's about the cultural pavilion and JC ;) I'm not fond of Verity but I'd have her over Princess Darshana any day
No, it's a monstrosity!
I think you're mistaken, no-one has speculated about the inside.
Sticking your nose in when masonry collapsed on to the high street? Yeah, walk on by, it's nobody's business . In the meantime a man was out watering the hanging baskets on the Strand today, presumably paid for by us. Why shouldn't we have expectations of shop owners? What's the point in bothering to improve this town if that's everyone's attitude.
Flo, you should get an OBE for services to leaks :)
