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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
@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. Brand new GWR green IEP at London Paddington:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoNV2oo4_os https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_800 Read the comments on this link from people who know what they are talking about :- ...
@TheObserver - i belive this document explains it. http://docimages.teignbridge.gov.uk/Planning/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=4075043&PDF=true&content=obj.pdf
Just took a walk over the fields and saw the new build near completion, very nice if you can afford it. Certainly an improvement on what it replaced.
Proof of the pudding! time will tell. Gallons of water used in testing, scarey!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be stopping at Dawlish?
@Daverc - appreciated.

Last Thursday and we are hearing about it NOW! I am registered with the police neighbourhood alert e-mail thingy that is supposed to alert people to the dodgey things going on locally and this wasn't one of them that I received. Would it not have been worth advising local people of this incident on thursday/friday. Do they think that we are are to delicate to hear of what obnoxious, evil little ...

I saw a kid (my definition - someone who had the overall look of a child under the age of sixteen, but over the age of 10 years) on the Cove beach with a black widow catapult in hand. For those that do not know what a black widow catapult is:- ...
One thing you cannot deny about Trump is that he is doing what he said he would do If Elected...right/wrong his doing it. More than can be said about the buch of back stabbing vipers that we have in all levels of power in this country.
Interesting looking through the Teignbridge car park sites as to charges and locations:- https://sites.teignbridge.gov.uk/carparkmap
On a train with 40 passengers eating scottish food and stuck in a station or siding of a night to sleep for 6 days in the U.K. for £10k that's a bargain! oh and only one pillow per bed.
'symbolic of the current state of the health care service', NO......SYMBOLIC of the last several decades of the health care service. The NHS services will be trimmed down to the point of a few super hospitals hundreds of miles apart dotted around the country and will be privatised off to the highest bidder some time in the future. It does not matter which party is in power as they all have the ...
@From The Grave - i can only assume from your comment that you are asking me why i said 'why the need for a warrant ?'. Obviously the police need a warrant to search a person's property in certain circumstances. What I was remarking on was that if the police, policed and enforced The Lawn on the odd occassion. There would be no need for a warrant because they would, most probably, already have ...
