My gripe is with the sale of loot to profit an individual or family. The person who profited was not even the officer that endured the risks of war. That would be less distasteful. Nonetheless, is it legal for soldiers to collect loot, pass it on to family who then sell it and profit from it? I don't believe it is. As far as I can tell it was forbidden even in 1945. The spoils of war belong to the ...

A YOUNG woman pedestrian was injured after colliding with a pick-up truck in a Dawlish car park this morning.

You sir are an arse. They are not travellers nor Romanys. It took the council long enough to clear them out of a beautiful spot which they turned into a slum. Drug taking was rife.

Well said Fred couldn't agree more.

The first direct train to London – using an alternative to the storm-hit line to Plymouth – is to leave Devon next month for the first time in 50 years. The special train from Okehampton to Paddington will use the route suggested as an option to avoid the long-term issues at Dawlish line which is frequently cut off by the high tide and storm waves.
