My job every Saturday morning as a kid was to walk into Keswick to get 4ozs of yeast for my mam it was 7.2 miles the same distance i walked every day to School 14.4 miles per day i often wondered why i couldn't get it on a Friday night on my way home probably the old saying idle hands are the devils workshop.

Perhaps it's preferable for them to get a shock from the blue when their identity is nicked. Ok so they were taken aback but I can't understand why someone would do this. I shred everything with a micro shredder.

Just a reminder that if you were born anywhere on the island of Ireland or can prove Irish descent (not sure by how  many generations back) you will be eligible for Republic of Ireland nationality and therefore an Irish passport. Which means you can carry an EU passport and be an EU citizen. So......those UK nationals born in NI can be EU citizens if they so wish. Whilst those born in Scotland, ...

I didn't see it officer.

I think!!!!!!! He deserved it for destroying the lib dems. Howzat?

Whether they consented or not, the crooked judge Cottle did not take into consideration that they were under age. So does it send out a message that providing underage girls consent, everything will be legal if they have sex?

A skate park for fish?

Your imput is debateable more than most, as how would you know that damage is to a lesser or greater extent. If something was a total wipeout, all you could say is, that it didn't work.

Yup! She'll deffo be hoping no-one talks turkey.......... (but what a cracker if they did)

Jonathan Grant was desperate for money after moving out of the landlady’s home into his own flat in Dawlish that he went back to raid it. Grant, aged 34, of West Cliff, Dawlish, admitted burglary and was jailed for eight months, suspended for two years, ordered to pay £1,500 compensation, do 100 hours’ unpaid community work and 20 days’ rehabilitation activities by Judge Graham Cottle at Exeter ...

Which other traditions Calamari?

@Diana Mond Thank you.

Not at all i was just sharing a nice pic.

No one know's yet whether or not it will be an improvement. We shall have to wait on that one.

UPDATE The money I was owed went into my bank on Saturday. 4 Councillors have responded, Councillor Cox , has been by far the most helpful so far. My complaints are being reffered to The Monitoring Officer. The number.of Councillors who still have not bothered to respond to my concerns regarding the way the department is allowed to operate is disgraceful.

and on the subject of farmers and quotas and subsidies and trade deals and, and, and............read this. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/862598/Brexit-news-EU-Donald-Trump-food-imports-quotas-British-farmers

It might have been an idea to talk to the organisers of the similar events In Teignmouth and Exmouth.

Well there you are then. He could go on the speaking circuit. And if doesn't work out he could always apply for a job as a barman........

lovely pictures ... sky on fire

Bad news indeed.

No, I haven't read the plans. I just know my learned pals on here would have all the answers. Yep a steel container sounds bad.

Yes I know that (and thanks for your help). I asked as there are no minutes online for any of the full council meetings since July of this year. That is why I asked the question as there is (presently) no way for me (or anyone else for that matter) to check. Just wondered if anyone reading this had been in the public gallery at any time since July and noticed whether or not they had been there.

What needs to happen though is, that those that are working should not have to live off benefits and regularly go to food banks just to live. So, do you live to work or work to live?

I just happened across this FOI concerning TDC playpark closures and budgets. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/playground_budgets_and_closures_275#incoming-897575

I hope that Peter Harry and Martin Dix (not Dicks) made their peace before the latters sad passing. What a double act they were. Welcome back Leatash, hope you had a good break.

@majorp you may have friends on bigger councils than a small town council, if we didn't have small town councils they bigger councils wouldnt have much to do. they all twiddle thumbs where needed and deal with things that don't need attention like a new playpark or a resturant on tucks plot.
