Just got the 2005-2015 booklet through the door. If the aim is to encourage Dawlish in every way ...I think it will put anyone off the place. Mentions the lack of this, lack of that, no Supermarket etc ..all negative.. doesn't exactly fly the flag for Dawlish. Why be SO negative ??? ..must be one good thing surely ? Also as usual no praise for the existing shops ..quote 'lack of choice of shops ...
You proably have all seen in the 'Dawlish News' on the back page ..Somerfield ends next year. This will please many I guess who have disliked the shop so much ..the paper mentions it being possibly an Electrical store?. I did notice that the paper says it is the only Supermarket here, there is 'Cost Cutters' with larger floor space than Somerfield and they are open until 10pm everyday. I don't ...
We did TRY to inspire discussion! ..in our own particular way ..but ended up with no input. I just wish now all the old messages could be removed ..what impression they give goodness knows..there is no chance for the Forum if they remain. Just my view !
Went to catch a train at 230 this afternoon .. station is on a makeover. Painting outside the main entrance door and on the platform were sanding the seats for a repaint. If they do the bridge too that will be good.
No problem ..I have still been watching all the postings. Good luck with your move.
..me too ! ..we all got 'exitexeteritas!' lol. but you do have to say ...we 'all' did our best !
Yes I do understand computers actually. If you look I recently praised Bow Windows for their new improvements..now much improved. I am more than happy not to bother looking on Dawlish.com anymore ..so I will not see any reply..it's gone very petty. The open postings sadly have been abused ..if you write a letter to the Dawlish News of the type you see here ..it is certain and rightly it would not ...
Oh my goodness. The sooner everything goes via the Webmaster the better ..please ! I notice there was no sensible posting re DAWLISH SCHOOLS... what is the school turning out and doing to Dawlish ? ..maybe it's nationwide..says it all. I think it would be best now if the site just has useful information.. news etc, suppied by the Webmaster. The recent discussions have proved that point.
Sadly not ! ..we've gone full circle and back again. Whilst here, better say ..well done to 'Bow Windows' ..new windows. Hope the chalk board goes ..I was watching a brillant sign writer in a pub in Exeter this week ..her real job is behind the bar!
Something a like must go on everywhere. I remember trying to sell a property (not here) where new mortgage rules applied to houses constructed of older materials. I needed a cash buyer. the Estate Agent said 'I know a builder that will offer you half the value!' ..I sold it on my own in the end. I suppose the problem is ..staff write up the property particulars, newspaper ads.. and word gets out ...
