Okay...come on...cough up! Which complete prat has now installed bird and bat boxes along Commons Lane then? Apparently there are so many Cirl Buntings in Dawlish now that we probably need a cull! And as for bats....I believe there's now a movement to rename Dawlish as Gotham City!!!

Great Councillor who did a lot for the town and supported a great many institutions, businesses and events. Enjoy your retirement Ros.

Went to Amelia's at Cofton this morning. £13 for a 'large' breakfast. The 'Portobello Mushroom' was a single mushroom (less than the size of a bean tin lid) cut in half....and you got 1 half! Anything that could be small was (toast, sausages, bacon, hash brown (McCain type). The 'herb roasted tomato' was....well, just a roasted tomato! Took the best part of an hour to arrive. Egg shell in the Egg ...

Overwhelmed due to the debacle/sale of all Lloyds pharmacies?

Well, from what I know and have seen from the likes of Taylor and James there is absolutely nothing either Liberal nor Democratic about either of them! Teignbridge is also considered one of the most corrupt councils in the country (from public opinion I hear) under their leadership. Great result....not!

Thank you. I should add that Dawlish was the ONLY RBL Branch to get involved with this. Indeed, HQ RBL did not even recognise our guys as British soldiers until we were about 3 years into it. Now you can watch them parade proudly passed the Cenotaph in the RBL Remembrance Day parade in London which they have done every year since their acceptance. I'm sure they'll get a TV mention this year.

What a complete Harse!

Up until they were protected (around the mid-70s) it was perfectly possible to control the Gull population. Local people (generally several generations of the same families) would climb the cliffs (especially at Coryton Cove) using long ladders, which were kept on the beach, and collect the eggs which were then sold in local butchers shops. Granted, a young chap I knew broke his neck falling off ...

Thought that everyone knew this would happen. The previous play park was set on fire at least twice and other vandalism/dangerous littering numerous times. Pointless to build a really good facility there without protecting it with a really good (and copiously signed) CCTV system. Sorry to state 'The Bleedin' Obvious' but it was built by our tax money.

Need to get rid of their 'Stuffed Shirts'. E.G. What does Cllr Mike James ever do? I noticed, during a meeting, he was asked to join the group to fight for Dawlish Minor Injuries Unit because he is a Voluntary Director of the Health Care Trust. He clearly forgot he was on camera and buried his head in his hand before replying!!! Other than collecting committee posts, council posts etc what does he ...

Started yesterday I think.

Ryders Bakery has a 4* rating. Their Street Food outlet is what you are talking about I think.

We reported a large wasp nest in a bank. Turned out to be harmless Ivy Bees - they look very similar if a little darker than wasps.

Wow - 71 beds! I think the two biggest in Dawlish currently are Palm Court (circa 40 beds) and Sefton Hall (circa 50 beds) so this is going to be pretty big.

What? Because of big helicopters flying over?

"...Neither the CDC nor the FDA stipulate that vaccines must stop transmission of a virus, both stating that a vaccine is a product that stimulates the immune system to produce immunity to an infectious agent..." US Sources. "...Vaccines are a type of prescription-only medicine . Their purpose is to stimulate a person's immune system to produce antibodies that fight a specific disease, so that the ...

What water course? The leat is dry and has been for years.

Covid 19 cases in Dawlish are more than double those at Christmas . This has been exacerbated by the prevalence of 'Staycations' and the like. Should those making the money out of this situation (Holiday Camps, Cafes, Festivals (Powderham comes to mind), Leisure activities etc) put some money, from their bonanza, into funding things like Carnival, Snookyfest, Triathlon, Wildfowl purchases etc for ...

Perhaps Andy should come and talk to us...maybe?

Never hear of some of them. For example, what has Mike James done since he's been a Councillor...apart from being able to say "I'm a Councillor"! Seems to collect committees, governerships etc for a passtime! But does he actually do anything?

You want to see what they're doing to us!!!!

@DeeDoodle Don't forget Teignmouth for the goodies!

HMS PoW is new (was off Carbis Bay for some reason apparently!). The Chinooks have been around for a while though.

I don't think you can either....but if TDC can hide behind GDPR they will unfortunately.

Not a chance! :) I don't think I would be looked on very kindly by landowners if I gave the game away by giving local authorities advance notice!

Well, this is my graph up until last Sunday - so make your own minds up:

Don't worry peeps. Teignmouth is being rejuvinated courtesy of your Council Tax and the new build Section 26 or whatever! Phew...thought we were being robbed there but all okay as Teignmouth being sorted! Dawlish is going to have another 1000 homes...but it's okay because Teignmouth is being sorted! I thought resources were being taken away from us like the Walk-Behind road sweeper and the Sea ...

It sounds like you've also had enough of Dawlish? Bye then.

Don't really understand why this is 'News'. It's well documented, always seen. We used to play on it as kids.

Hooray! That's what I've been trying to tell you! Now that you understand - Educate yourself.

£20,000,000,000 for a cruise ship!!!! The Queen Mary 2 is the most expensive ever - at a cost of £800,000,000. Massive exaggeration defeats the argument before it's even begun! "Fakedemic"!!!! - I've had it. Nothing fake about it. It's your fake news that's helping to kill people!!!! Shame on you.

Good Grief! Re the latest conspiracy theory: "...Unfortunatly an unready sample of the virus escaped ahead of time which is how we find ourselves today..." or ... " To sum up, its a scam...." Well, which is it? You can't have it both ways! Kinda shot your own theory down in flames there! LMAO.

It was known as 'The Hole In The Wall' for decades. It was called 'The Priince Albert'. No doubt he did something that upset someone so it must be demoliished immediately!!!!

Well that escalated quickly! What if leatash is in a rental where the landlord had installed 3x glazing. Or maybe the house was bought with it installed? I think it's you that's all heart (not!) MS.

Anyone got any ideas on where to put the Cathedral for when Dawlish becomes a city?

Lynne. We do get your point(s). But they always seem to be Marxist points. Getting a bit boring really - which is a shame as you used to have some great points of view.

And this as at last Sunday:

I also read somewhere that the Govt. estimation of around 6,000 Covid-19 infections per day at the high point (so far) back in April may have been grossly underestimated. The true figure could be as high as 100,000 per day apparently. Although alarming, this could actually be good news......couldn't it?

The reason the Govt is gradually bringing in the wearing of facemasks is pretty obvious to anyone who has been following the pandemic globally, particularly focusing on the southern hemisphere going into winter. In 6 to 8 weeks time, when the temperature starts to drop as autumn comes in, this virus is going to rip through this country like a hurricane (I was going to say tornado but it'll be on a ...

@DEEDOODLE a) About 70% I believe. b) Correct. c) Wot? I was tested and it gave me confidence to continue working in the environment that I do. I'll continue to be tested regularly. d) If you want/need to fly in....expect to self-isolate. Don't see your point. e) Really....so what would you do? Bear in mind the lab capacity before you say more testing. As I said before, negativity doesn't help ...
