Lynne, pardon me for expressing an opinion - fancy doing that on a discussion forum... Dawlish seems abundant with many residents who just say no to everything, DADS always seemed to be that way to me. Interesting that their website no longer operates, perhaps DADS weren't that well supported? At one stage I wasn't that impressed with DARE either but they have re-invented themselves and have ...
Sorry Philippa, I forget that not everyone is familiar with the campaigning citizens of Dawlish. Dare - originally Dawlish Against Ruining Everything, had a tendancy to be just a 'no to everything' group however have re-invented themselves lately to become more environmentally focused and have done some great work in raising awareness in erosion problems at the Warren.

Well done to all pupils and teachers who have worked hard to achieve these results.
Rainbow 1 - your point is? Most people do their big shop out of town, why would local trades people (or their employees) be any different?
