To be serious for a moment. Think on this. If. for the sake of arguement, part of the present CW did have a name change then I wonder how that might impact on the ability of those living there to get things like credit cards/open bank accounts/get passports etc. I haven't needed to open anything like that for ages but I seem to vaguely recall that you get asked how long you have been living ...

plod, the circles are of your own making. Good old Dusty, I think you will find these few words just apt. Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of ...

How anyone could drink coffee or tea from anything other than a Royal Albert bone china cup , I fail to see.

More info (leaflet just come through the letterbox) Sandy Lane will be closed to vehicles throughout the duration of the works. If you have a vehicle or vehicles on Exeter Road please remove them whilst the works are in progress (any remaining vehicles may be towed away). If you live on Exeter Road there maybe times when access to/from your driveway may not be possible. Works will ...

The bits I hear in the Devon news article are:- restrict dog walkers cctv to assist in the enforcement of penalties for disobeying rules control substantially cut the number of winter visitors, but at the same time make those who do make the effort pay through the nose for parking. Then to top it off build a million pound plus visitor center which goes against the whole point of NOT ...

So.......to get back to the original topic of this thread - the link road (although I accept that there is a Sainsbury's link (ouch!)). Anyway.......to get back to the original topic of this thread, I see from the report in the Gazette that no date has been given as to when this road will be built.

Yes. But......... there is also the issue of equal pay for work of equal value. ie not necessarily doing the same job but one that should be paid the same amount as a job being done by a man/men because although both jobs may be different the amount of skill, qualifications etc required to do both jobs are comparable. Employers must pay men and women equally if they are doing 'like work ', ...

What is deemed to be dirty and what is not varies from culture to culture. We have dogs in our houses and treat them like members of the family., Some people not only let them on their furniture but also on their beds. Other cultures don't see dogs as pets (but as food) and others see them as being dirty creatures that should not be allowed anywhere near the inside of a home. Cows are sacred ...

Terrorists of every race, colour and creed do.

So, you don’t know. Fair enough. I’ll ask Karen next time I see her. Do you happen to know when Poundland opens?

It’s almost exactly four years to the day that devastating overnight storms on February 4, 2014 swept the main rail route into the Westcountry into the sea at Dawlish. Read more... https://www.devonlive.com/news/its-been-four-years-dawlish-1152802

Had a text from Argos (it stacked under Argos, along with the "your order is ready for collection" texts- which is a bit odd...) Apparently, I have a refund due of £180!

I don't have a problem with eating food that is more local to us. And continental Europe is a darn site nearer to us than anywhere else on the planet (barring the Republic of Ireland). @Diane Mondeo - if, say, just for the sake of argument, we were to have no imports whatsoever from continental europe do you really believe that would stop the illegal imports of drugs, people and guns? and ...

During the 70s & 80s parliament thought it right that the accused in sexual assault cases were granted anonymity, perhaps because those kind of allegations carry such huge social stigma that live with the accused for the rest of their lives, even if they are subsequently found innocent.  And, of course, there are the serial rape fantasists out there: ...

Seems like the usual suspects are wrong yet again. Teignbridge councillors have rejected the request from the external body.

Whilst it would be lovely to have them back, £10K+ is a heck of a lot of money. Let’s hope that they’re storm-proof.

Had 3 calls in one morning from so say talk talk. So asked if the person would like to come onto my computer to sort out the problem.No other way to put it but the thick twat was told to f--- off.End of call.

Perhaps it's the government's way of trying to raise funds to pay for all those extra customs officers and check points and things that we will need if we crash out of the EU.

'Seek out a survivor if you can, and if they will speak to you, listen' More than 100 Kindertransport children grew up during the war years at hostels at Exmouth, Dawlish, and elsewhere in South Devon.

Plod isn’t wrong. Just because you say that he/she is wrong, doesn’t mean that is so. Another lie from you. I don't get charged for texts that tell me that my parking period is almost complete. Another lie from you. Your question re ANPR has already been answered by Plod. Another lie from you. I fear for your mental health, as you’re clearly not all there. Therefore, after this post I ...

Following Teignbridge District Councillor Humphrey Clemens’ public outburst at last week’s Town Council meeting, where I consider inappropriate language was used and untrue statements made, I am writing an open letter in response. In September 2014, I started a petition against the proposed compulsory purchase of Warren Farm by Teignbridge District Council. The land was wanted as ‘Suitable ...

Why is the BBC continually running news reports about the NHS problems? What the BBC's agenda?

I believe humans need to get their collective act together on Earth before we inflict the same mayhem around the rest of the Universe.

The Devon Air Ambulance was called to Dawlish Beach this afternoon after a male suffered spinal injuries after falling 10ft from steps onto concrete below. Coastguard and the Devon Air Ambulance landed on the beach to assess the males injuries where he was then taken by land ambulance to hospital.

Sorry, but people are their own worse enemy and only themselves to blame. Anyone with an ounce of sense would have realised it was a scam. Just stop and think. Would HMRC really phone you saying that you owed money? Of course they wouldn't.

One of the few places that kids can go in Dawlish to do something they like doing. If the fence was ok and nothing illegal/criminal is going on then leave it as it is, why spend money replacing a perfectly good fence. In my own paranoid point of view, I would say that the council wants to stop the self expressionism (graffiti) going on the fence, but, in my opinion, in true council style they ...

@Diana Mond , no worries. I usually change the user from me to the original user when I create the new thread so that they get the notifications and not me. I have to do it manually, so I may be doing it slightly differently each time.

Lets hope others will follow suit and within the same time frame. It can be done.

So, it’s not just our side of the water that has dinosaur-related play park news: A dinosaur-themed park , complete with swings, slides, roundabouts and a pterodactyl nest to climb in and around is set to come to Exmouth seafront. East Devon District Council has announced they are moving ahead with delivering new attractions and entertainment on Exmouth’s sea front, while longer term ...
