@Carer ... good idea, but no one is currently living there

They should not have spent nearly £20 million on that knackered out of date newton abbot shopping centre. seems par for the course with local councils down here wasting money on fruitless projects.

As a 75-year-old who is 'shielding' atm, I'm with HuwMatthews2 on this one.

Governments don't run businesses either but they're still classifying people as key workers and providing tests - our company has been involved.

Like I said you just make sweeping statements......

I wouldn't have a problem with it but I haven't got a smartphone so I couldn't use it anyway.  There must be a lot of people like me, who can't get traced.

Perhaps I don't want to make compost, and there are good reasons to have a bonfire. Who says I annoy my neighbours? Please stick to the original thread about nanny state and don't be a proper Charlie.

i wonder what safety features are in place if the_ winch fails?

Not as far as my dopey neighbour is concerned His garden is toxic as hell with the stuff he has sprayed on it. He also tips all his garden waste into tha alley next to him. law unto himself, miserable old t@#t.

thanks for the replies.

It has long been rumoured that Adolf Hitler had a mansion with 1,600 acres of land earmarked in the county as a potential British HQ, had he won the war. The luxurious mansion boasted a galleried hall, four reception rooms, 10 bed and dressing rooms, four bathrooms and a spacious ballroom with a ceiling decorated with signs of the zodiac. Brigadier Sir Ralph Rayner brought home Hitler's ...

I have the same Lynne two cars have arrived and eight people piled out with cans of beer and bags of snacks a party me thinks. But what will happen when one of them gets the virus and there are no ventilators to treat them and they die the rest of the morons will create merry hell because it will be someone elses fault.

I walked through town yesterday about 3pm and it was quiet I thought.  First time I've ventured that far.  Everyone kept their distance.  There's some very superior people tut tutting at people as if they're the only ones who can possibly understand all the consequences. We've had a few people at work with Covid19 and one death and are certainly not underestimating things. A lot of us also have ...

The owners of Geralds supermarkets in Dawlish have recorded their video diaries as they help the community during Covid-19 A Very British Lockdown: Diaries From the Frontline will be shown at ITV at 8pm today (Tuesday).

It opens ok for me.

People have called from all areas of Teignmouth, Dawlish and beyond, and we even had a call from Scotland from a daughter worried about her mother in Teignmouth.

It needs to be made clear that anyone furloughed who does this work for whatever period of time won't (a) lose their furloughed money and (b) won't lose their job as this is what is being threatened at the moment.

A lot of the language is "died with Covid-19" not of. It is really difficult to get an accurate figure so they are using all cases where the patient had Covid-19 present. It is always difficult to work out who would have have died with or without Covid-19 present in their body. Better analysis will come but we are still gathering the data. We are only 6 months in of world wide cases and less ...

happy easter to you all, what lovely weather for easter and the bird song is amazing. one thing about the pandemic is the lack of noise from car, pkanes etc.

Park-and-ride stations, new cycling and walking routes, and road improvements are all included in the plan setting out 110 different planned investments in transport infrastructure across Devon by 2030.

From Loweswatercam

At 1400 hrs today, 800 less planes in the air compared to  the same time last week.

Why not? They seem hell bent on spoiling everything  else.

Yes, lovely DEEDOODLE, thanks for posting.

I guess I'm late catching up with this, but for anyone who hasn't heard - Dawlish Minor Injuries Unit is closed while this is going on: they advise using N Abbot MIU instead.

The service says its current operations would leave pilots exposed as they cannot wear personal protective equipment while operating the aircraft. However, its critical care paramedics will still be able to respond to patients by road with their specialist skills and equipment. Read more... ...

There are a lot of contradictions around at the moment on one hand Nurses are telling us not to wear surgical type masks and on the other hand they are telling us that they need them, but only give protection for a short while in a ward situation.  So my question is... why would they work for a short period 1 to 2 hours on a ward situation but not in Sainsburys?

Seems to me that some people have 'panic bought' PPE - desperately needed elsewhere - and are now trying to justify what they have done. Don't you regret anything, put it down to experience, learn from it and maybe you'll do better next time.

I dont deal with my mail for 3 days i have a litter picker so i pick it up move that days mail to one side and just leave it in the hallway. Anything that wont fit in the letterbox the postman rings the door bell and leaves it on the doorstep then same procedure i am now on day 22 of isolation and expect to be so for at least 4 months but hey it's only 271 days to Christmas.

As my gran use to say...stupid is as stupid does....I watched several groups of people walk past my house today rubbing shoulders. I will be going to sainsburys next week for my shopping and I will be wearing my p3 respirator and goggles and thoroughly decontaminating my clothes, shoes and shopping when I get home and a shower. Then its in the house for another 14 days. I wonder if anyone ...
