I agree with Mcjrpc - the cost of living in London is not necessarily any higher than anywhere else, except housing costs. That is why so many people who grew up in London or the suburbs have had to move out to areas they CAN afford. I've said it before and I will say it again - people who are not claiming benefits but are paying their own way cannot live just anywhere, they are limited to what ...
jools88 you ARE being disrespectful by simply blaming the age of this driver for the accident. As Lindapetherick said, none of us know the facts and yet there is an eagerness to jump to conclusions on this. My father is over 80 years of age and drives very well, I certainly feel safer being driven by him than I do by the younger members of our family. Yes some accidents are caused by older ...
One of the reasons Teignmouth Museum does so well is because they engage with the local community. They have people go out to local schools and pre-schools to do talks on various subjects and schools do visits to the Museum too. They also have the new space on the first floor that is used by various local groups during the week (evenings) and at weekends, hosting various events that not only ...
It is a shame that it has been left derelict for so long - as you say it is in a prime location. Maybe the owners ran out of funds or couldn't get funding for a rebuild.
@leatash using an alternative route is of course what a lot of people did, ourselves included on a lot of occasions, how bizarre of you to suggest that anyone would deliberately sit in a queue of traffic because they had to see what was going on with the wall. but sometimes using that part of town was unavoidable and the queues caused in both directions were a hassle for access even if you ...
Well how lucky for you that it didn't personally cause you any problems. For those of us that it DID affect, for numerous reasons, we are very glad it has now been cleared. For the time being at least.
I think the traders of the town would be far better off and the town itself would be far better off if the concentration was on serving the residents of the town who are here 12 months of the year rather than visitors who are here for a few days or weeks. Independent shops are great for a town and can help provide a healthy mix of different items for sale on the high street and the surrounding ...
I agree with the Head - a prom or similar when they leave Primary school is totally over the top as are having limos or similar turning up at the school. One parent did that when my elder son left his Primary school and the other kids were far from impressed, they just thought it was showing off. Having a prom at that age is just daft and is more suited to older children who are leaving ...
DT Garage on the industrial estate are very good and we've found them to be excellent value.
When will we ever get some joined up thinking from the people who control these things. I despair that they actually will go ahead and do this. It will be even more of a nightmare and a summer disaster for town businesses.
