We have a grit bin at the bottom of our hill which is now empty as we have been scattering it for the past few days. Have rung the Highways Agency on 01392 380160 to get it refilled but so far this hasn't been done. Apparently you have to go on a list. This morning a car came down the hill and went smack into a neighbour's wall opposite, fortunately there was only slight damage to the car and ...
I too am wondering why our council have allowed this monstrosity when they are always hammering the private citizen in the name of protecting the 'street scene'.

It all smacks of sour grapes to me. In the meantime the people of Dawlish are missing out and have to drive a few miles to visit a supermarket. Surely not very eco-friendly?

You don't necessarily need a qualification for book-keeping. Book-keeping to trial balance can be learned when you are working; a lot of it is simple common sense and good mathematics. After the trial balance a qualified accountant usually takes over. This is how I learned it but I am not the person that orchid lady is talking about!
Don Never mind the name, I think "pompous airheads" is the most brilliant description I have read so far on this site. And by the way, I'm always prophesying in vain - no-one has ever believed me. Aaaaaah!
