@Nelson I know that the Strand is now open but I have been told that there is more work to be done as they found that more pipework needs to be replaced as it's in such a bad state. Apparently they have a choice - schedule it for later in the year, September I think has been mentioned. Alternatively, they are talking about carrying on over the Easter period until such time as it's finished or ...
Was this connected to the police helicopter which flew over Dawlish earlier? Who would have thought this sort of thing would go on in genteel old Georgian Sidmouth. Was this in the vicinity of Jacob's Ladder or did he not have anything to do with it?
Used to work in CAB. The training is very intensive for a voluntary service & the workers are dedicated & caring. Always thought it was a shame when they closed in Dawlish. Good luck to Anne & Andy with the outreach service.
Oh dear. Doesn't bode well for next week when they start re-surfacing Badlake Hill, Weech Road, Lwr. Meadow Rise, Meadow Rise & Meadow Park. Next stop gridlock!
Not so much negativity, people. Get down to the Lawn tomorrow at 11.30 am & show 'em what Dawlishians are made of!
Haven't quite got to grips with all this banking terminology but it seems that the investments in the housing market rated by Goldman Sachs as Triple A turned out to be what brought the whole edifice of the banking system crashing down with the results that we now see all around us. Seems that the director who quit is only telling us what we had already worked out for ourselves!
Trago has the cheapest prices but only worth going there if you're in that area anyway. Pointless to drive miles to get cheaper petrol!
So, apparently, does Goldman Sachs.
I know not who the present owners are, and if they have nothing to do with Vodafone then I sincerely apologise for blackening their name(s) in such an awful manner. I only meant to pass comment on the iniquitous tax arrangements that have been cooked up with HMRC. Does this mean that we cannot trust information that is posted on this website?
Given that Vodafone owes the taxpayer billions in unpaid tax (thanks Lynne for reminding us), perhaps Mamhead House should be confiscated and taken into public ownership as part payment of the tax bill. However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's got round it in some way, like having it registered in his wife's name or to some off-shore company; doing a Philip Green in other words.
