I'm positive there's people who can do this.  David Force seems to be involved and I think perfectly capable, especially with the enthusiasm of the town behind him.  I think to say that people in Dawlish have little knowledge of how to organise something like this is putting down what a lot of people do and used to do in their work lives as well as involvement with other events. If the current ...

Ah, more detail in there, thanks Ziggy.  It seems to be taking the route along the wall rather than through the path where the garden area is.  Once they come out at the bus stop there's still the dangerous bit round the bend and I can't see how they will get around that.  I still think the more sensible idea would have been to have the cycle path come out at Beach Street. They could have 'killed ...

Not sure what you mean by 'bettering yourself' BEE9?  Do you think a care worker on minimum wage should better themselves rather than look after you in your old age.  Do you think that cleaners should better themselves or anyone else doing a job that perhaps doesn't pay a huge amount but is more worthwhile than some banker or politician?  I know lets price everyone who actually works hard for a ...

be interested to know what you are celebrating @Carer . I don't mind fireworks too much, the dog doesn't like it but we can usually fit in a long enough run for him not to get too distressed in the evening.  It's the odd firework let off 'willy nilly' I object to.  Fireworks are dangerous, there's about 1000 injuries each year (stats available up to 2005, they are no longer collected!). I would ...
