I agree. Although I think you're probably related to the new manager, I reckon under the new manager Stokes will be as good as it ever was. However the reason for the petition was about more than that...

From what I understand, PJD is correct re. the reasoning. What it is about Mr Fenner, I don't know as I've never had any personal dealings with him during my visits to Sandy Lane. Good luck to the Seasiders this season, I think it will be a very challenging prospect for the new manager, but fingers crossed that they make progress both in local competitions and national competitions (as they did in ...

"Riddance" is the word, you illiterate fool. x

Heaven forbid that visitors come to our our town, spending their money in businesses in our town! You know, businesses that employ local people! For your information, I'm a local, and I'm really looking forward to the airshow. You are clearly entitled to your opinion but please don't think for one millisecond that your opinion is even close to being representative of people in this town or in this ...

Well said PJD. I agree with you 100% on this subject and with the writer of the similarly-veined letter published in this week's Gazette.

Can you provide any examples where pedestrianisation has turned other towns into "ghost towns"? Thanks.

Not a lot has changed Stu - therefore it's still a great place to visit! The old Woolies store is soon going to be bought, whilst planning permission is being sought to convert the former Threshers premises into an office. Dining wise, since you were last here Too Delicious (next door to the Deli) is now a licenced premises serving excellent meals during the day and in the evening too now. ...

The original message is just a form of SPAM for the website in his "signature" at the bottom of the message. Ignore him and don't click on the link would be my advice.

Whatever they do, they're not going to win with you are they?

The planning application has been approved. From the Herald Express: START Developers have been granted planning permission to build 61 homes inspired by the seaside after councillors backed themselves into a corner. Councillors passed plans for the contemporary homes at Dawlish Warren despite the applicants ditching plans for a much-needed nursing home, which had been part of the original scheme. ...

Not only is it an aesthetically pleasing building, but it's also going to be a great working asset to our town. Thumbs up from me? :)

I've only ever had one pint at Lee's Bar and to be fair it was decent enough, however it's not really my kind of pub. I agree with JW that the Welcome Inn has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, though I still prefer a stroll to Cockwood if we go out for a drink. Or over to Turf Lock or Topsham if Mrs Dawlish Man is driving!! :)

Fascinating.

Cheaper than the Starcross ferry I'm told.

Being able to wander around a town where you see people feel safe leaving their doors and windows open says it all. Please ignore the one or two on here who delight in making mountains out of molehills.

Welcome back User4549, I've missed the joy that you bring into people's lives. Your return reminds me, how's your law-breaking friend getting on with his court case? I've not heard anything for a while, yet I thought the case was ready to go to the CPS?

Who is this "all" eh Richard (sorry, I mean "The Investigator")?

I'm watching "Police, Camera, Action" on ITV4 right now. It's showing all the good work that CCTV does in crime prevention and crime detection. PJD, what have you, and the likes of you, got to hide?

It's a shame but hardly surprising. Still, at least we've got the free Exe Festival to look forward to. For those that don't buy the local newspapers, this is what the Herald Express has to say about the Amber Coast Festival: A THREE-DAY festival in Dawlish Warren has been cancelled with three members of the board of directors resigning. Critics had warned that Amber Coast Events' August festival ...

Well done to the Boathouse team for putting on a good night last night in the marquee. They've shown other businesses in the area how it should be done.

Hopped over the barrier on a sheer cliff to take a wazz? WTF? Was she one of the wino's?

According to today's Gazette, Dawlish Warren is also hosting the free "Exe Fest" music festival this summer. Looking forwarding to finding out the venue and the line-up.

Other than that, it sounds like you had a great time. Now, about this £1500 parking space...

Is your name Mark?

It's utter tripe. Just like the crap being spread about the police banning people wearing England football shirts frpm pubs.

Who's the moron? You're the one that actually said you drive to pick up your loaf of bread - you mentioned nothing about a bi-weekly shop! If you drive to any town centre in any county, you'll find that you have to pay to park - it's not a Dawlish pecadillo. Still, once Saino's is open you'll be able to park there for free (for a couple of hours). And yes I do apologise, because I missed the bit ...

I saw the Specials and Madness last year - they were both awesome! I agree with the sentiments on here that the Amber Festival organisers need to pull a couple of bigger names out of the hat if they are to realise their ambitions for this year. That said, my missus loves the Bay City Rollers! Hopefully the Amber Festival will make enough of a profit for the charities to make it worthwhile doing ...

"worker"?

The Ship Inn at Cockwood is currently serving a very good pint of Yellow Hammer.

Fair does then.

"Spaced out twit"? Is that the best you can do? That's rubbish for a keyboard warrior of your high standing. You're obviously incapable of following a thread, so I won't bother wasting more of my time on you as you're clearly waaaaay beyond help...

Perhaps you should venture further than Groyne 1?

Has it been sold yet do you know? I agree that Dawlish should have quality establishments like Too Delicious and it will certainly be on my list of places to include in my reviews. I'm hoping for these to be weekly, or maybe fortnightly - the first one will be coming soon.

The pea brains are the ignorant bigots who voted for him. His putting himself up for election was nothing to do with having balls, it was all about self-publicity. In fact, just like his soulmate Peter Harry. 82? The Monster Raving Loony Party would have got more votes than that! What time's the next slow boat to Buenos Aires? Adios Sharp...

Behave yourself Lazlo. There was a user on here (might not have been a registered user, as this was back in the day when guests could post using any user name, e.g. Roy, Dullish, etc), called Lazlo Woodbine. Mwah!

Who's the "we"?

Excellent news! Let's hope that the weather is kind for them.

Indisputable: Incontestable: not open to question; obviously true; Undisputable: Not capable of being disputed, not subject to doubt or question, certain, assured. Pretty similar semantically, I would say. Either way it's a fact - the statistics prove this to be the case (unless you believe that the statisticians are in on the conspiracy too?).

It's been open all week. They're also advertising for staff. What was the reason for the closure?

Go for it. These selfish pigs deserve all the punishment they get (or should get).
