Sir Clegg, only in politics can a loathsome failure of a human rise so high and squirrel away so much. As to a job with Facebook, I think not. This is a payoff for direct communications into the stinky bowels of those that run the stinking pile of plop we call the U.K. government, in my opionion.
Who sets the times for these meetings? Would it not be an idea to have the Dawlish times the same as the other ones so that people who work a 9-5 might get a chance to attend.
Walking along The Strand, around 19:00hrs, last night and a woman was begging in the doorway of one of the shops. What was disconcerting was one of the veteran drunks was hiding behind a car, slightly back and opposite her. I did not notice him skulking there until we had walkied past him towards her. Once upon a time laws were enforced by constabularies and a policeman had a certain amount of ...
High tide!
@leatash and cassandra, thankyou.
Although they see nothing wrong having 1000's of home's built with little to no supporting infrastructure, outstanding. Keep up the great work elected officials.
Zoom in on Naval warship from field above Meadow Park.. Pic taken from Boat Cove. Zoom in from toilets at Boat Cove to Exmouth beach. Used a filter on recently purchased Fuji xp80 camera, something different.
All i see from this is a function he attended, where the guest's had to pay £40 a pop for the privelege, and merely banged on about how bad eveything was. No mention of what he and his fellow West counrty m.p's are doing to sort it...just typical for your average and overpaid m.p. in my opinion. Interesting reading;- ...
Hypothetically when you get to the age that your quality of life requires a lot of assistance/drugs etc and you cannot get around or enjoy your surroundings. Why not commit a crime that requires long term prison time. Now your new home has staff obligied by law to look after you for free. As I say hypothetical, but certainly one avenue. What's are the other choices, pay through the nose to end up ...
The sewer should have been in place before the new builds were approved by the planning dep't. They say it was planned for 2025, but how many new houses will be using that 6 inch pipe by 2025. In my opinion, a greedy company like many others putting profit above customer satisfaction. God forbid if they charged milk prices for the water they supply and the crap we send them back. I'm sure they ...
@Diana Mond - i was merely using your own words. As to an important thread, yes it is important from the view point of the potential banning of dog's on The Lawn. From your post on this thread (11 June 2018 20:02) you seem happy to stop dog walker's from excercising their dogs on The Lawn, but seem unaware/ignorant to the fact that the potential for attacks on swans and other wildfowl along The ...
Not quite the same view this house use to have. Link below on some of the houses for sale and prices... look a lot more 'detached' in the pics of the link. https://www.primelocation.com/for-sale/property/dawlish/southdowns-road/
People with dogs coming to our coastline is a big revenue earner and to ban dogs from all beaches, in my opinion, would be a very blinkered and ignorant act IF the council did implement such an economically disasterous action. As with most restrictions in the U.K. on freedom whether that be speech, movement or just living your life the way you want without negatively effecting those around you. It ...
When will the Dawlish jetty get the repairs it so urgently needs. How many urgent maintenance issues are there in and around Dawlish at the moment? Easter bank holiday this weekend and what a state Dawlish is in...Well done Dawlish council for all your hard work......I think not. Yes, I know it is not all Dawlish councils responsibility to actually maintain everything, but at least make a noise ...
https://www.devonlive.com/news/anger-grief-sadness-off-grid-1373747 So they purchased the land and built on it. Living of the grid with no mountains of tyres or rubbish in site and are now to have their homes torn down. Would have been better for them to have not purchased the land and squatted on it instead and the council would have built them detached houses on the land free of charge I would ...
Just a bit of info. If you have Homecare from British Gas with your boiler etc and you are not a 'at risk category', elderly, vulnerable, baby in the house. The soonest appointments currently are from Thursday onwards but without an a.m./p.m. advisement.
Lycra, middle to old age from my experience of these white van driver's on their day off.
The British politician is the master of procrastination when it does not effect them directly. You only have to walk along the beaches of Teignmouth and Dawlish to see how little, if any, maintenance is done to the ACTUAL sea wall. The first trains to run along this sea wall date back to around 1847. A 171 years of use and in that time this railway line has seen how much regular maintenance and ...
Pics taken around 17:00 to 18:00 hrs 03 03 2018...roughly an hour or so before high tide. Very calm with no wind to speak off. The site of the previous damage with its new high sea wall, below.
The bits I hear in the Devon news article are:- restrict dog walkers cctv to assist in the enforcement of penalties for disobeying rules control substantially cut the number of winter visitors, but at the same time make those who do make the effort pay through the nose for parking. Then to top it off build a million pound plus visitor center which goes against the whole point of NOT disturbing the ...
I believe humans need to get their collective act together on Earth before we inflict the same mayhem around the rest of the Universe.
One of the few places that kids can go in Dawlish to do something they like doing. If the fence was ok and nothing illegal/criminal is going on then leave it as it is, why spend money replacing a perfectly good fence. In my own paranoid point of view, I would say that the council wants to stop the self expressionism (graffiti) going on the fence, but, in my opinion, in true council style they are ...
@Diana Mond - pot, kettle, black comes to mind.
ZIGGY@ nice to see the barriers in place, I've seen the odd cyclist shoot down there when pedestrians have been coming the other way...I suppose the cyclist's will just go on the grass, that being the one's that actually use the cycle path. Nice shot of the cygnet's.
@ShyTalk 47 - air cons on the roofs and diesel engine generators under the carriages, i believe.
