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 aren't ...

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.

Graham Price stepped down in December from his Dawlish Central & North East Ward seat in December for personal reasons, while Doug Hellier Laing resigned from his Chudleigh ward seat shortly before he was sentenced to three years in prison after he admitted attacking his wife with a mallet.

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 will no ...

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 are ...

@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 development ...

So it was Lynne my apologies blame it on my age.

Some of the towns that attracted the most attention in 2017 were Teignmouth, Salcombe, Dawlish and Exmouth, and 75 per cent of visits to the website in 2017 were by new visitors. See more... http://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/figures-show-2017-record-year-1041357

What peope do with their own property and that includes houses is their own business, and fake news DevonLive and local councillors need to keep their noses out. On the other hand what local authorities do with their properties is of public interest so this story needs re-targeting.

@majorp , done!

Rail franchises 'not giving value for money' A highly critical report from the National Audit Office says passengers on the UK's largest rail franchise have suffered the worst disruption in the country. It adds that services on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern have been the worst on the network since Govia Thameslink (GTR) took over their running in 2015. Users have not been provided with ...

Hi majorp, I thought that readers would like to see the whole story. I’m sorry that you think that’s not allowed on here. One sentence was missed off the end of the article you pasted from: “This data also covers personal devices used when logged on to Parliament's guest Wi-Fi.”

Yes and tipped to replace Jeremy Hunt.

Paul, let’s see if Trump does sue the author and the ‘real news’ outlets then. I bet he doesn’t! What does Burneside think that the BBC’s agenda is re. Trump? There’s so much more they could report about him that they don’t.

Police van, ambulance and air ambulance. Hope nothing too serious.

It closed as 80% of the sales were phone or online orders you can still get flowers from the same shop but now by phone or online.
