Overheard by me in a shop in Dawlish yesterday. Two elderly ladies talking about needing cataract operations. One said to other "I've got an appointment now but it clashes with something else but I'll have to cancel the something else because who knows how long I'll have to wait for another appointment? It could be years." "Yes , I agree" said the other "and by that time you might have to ...

I wonder how many Conservative members in the Dawlish/Teignmouth/Newton Abbot area voted for Liz Truss? Certainly our Conservative MP was quite open in her support. I've just been listening to David Mellor (ex Conservative Chief Secretary to the Treasury) on GBNews. He was asking if all this was really happening or was he having a nightmare? Remember most Tory MPs voted for Rishi ...

Hi BB. I thought that in the case of windowless bathrooms that extractor fans are obligatory. Might be worth checking out? With regard to the pong emanating from the water treatment works along Warren Road - when the options for land put forward for house building were made public last summer one of the sites was Warren Farm (where the car boot and other activities are held). The blurb ...

Hi Lynne, I would love the smell to be outside instead of in our bathroom, with no window to open. This town is full of you know what. It was the same in the old flat, but the sewer smell was then in the living room.

@Carer - if it was your daughter (& grandchildren) who was 'a teenage single mum with a couple of kids' in desparate need of housing I'm sure you'd be thrilled if the council put her near the top of the list! I'm surprised no-one here hasn't joined in with you adding immigrants to the list.

Planning application approved. (Btw - this bit of land was also submitted to TDC as a possible site for new housing. Outcome of the Local Plan consultation showing what land has been selected for development and what not is scheduled to be made public Jan 2023).

So who's worse then? Boris or Liz?

According to a sign on the site the care home is to be called Claremont Manor and will offer luxury care accommodation. I wonder how much that will cost per week?

Congratulations to Italy on electing their first female prime minister. It's a shame the BBC have decided to slag her off.

Hmmmm.........the financial markets don't seem too impressed, do they? Such a drop in the value of the pound! For those still able to afford a foreign holiday - it will now cost more. All imports (and we import a lot in this country - especially food) - will cost more. As we import petrol and oil - filling up the car will cost even more as well. Oh, and it looks like interest rates ...
