The saga continueth. Whether or not it is the real thing is now being questioned by experts.* See page two of this week's Gazette. (* just to say that I acknowledge there are those who have no time for experts........)
This country is a total sh*t hole.
Saw this in the exeter express and echo and just thought how screwed up our legal system is in dealing out a worthy sentence for taking a life. http://www.devonlive.com/aiden-platt-s-killer-will-not-have-her-sentence-reviewed/story-30171399-detail/story.html

FROM SOUTHWEST TRUCKERS WEBSITE = CONFIRMED: **6 points and £200 fine for using a mobile whilst driving from 1st March 2017** Advice to keep it simple: - Keep your mobile in a craddle or glove box - You cant touch the phone if its in a craddle, even if you stop at lights and even if your parked up with the engine on ... - If you want to use the sat nav on a mobile or plug the charger in. ...
Good, the proportion of bad drivers on the road is scary. I see so many driving on your side of the road, cutting corners or ignoring crossings and pedestrians it makes my eyes water
I have just driven along Exeter Road and noticed 3 drivers on there mobiles one a HGV driver.
Simple answer to that is:- DON'T use it while driving.
There is not much availability in the Hotels in Dawlish for that week either?
Just a reminder people as from 1st March the penalty for using a mobile phone while driving is 6 penalty points and a £200 fine.
