I've been pleased up till now to see that the SW has consistently had the lowest rate of hospital cases etc. in the UK. I was less pleased yesterday to see that the R0 rate in the SW is among reckoned to be the highest, at 0.76. All the more reason to keep on following the guidance (if we can understand it, as Lynne says). Mind you, I've no idea how they work that out so maybe I'd best just ...
Work to rebuild and improve the sea wall at Dawlish has resulted in £3 million being spent locally in south Devon between June 2019 and May 2020 by Network Rail and its contractors. Network Rail’s Western route director Mike Gallop said: “I am delighted that we’ve spent nearly £5m with local suppliers and businesses in the Dawlish and Teignbridge area as a result of the first section of the new ...
Doing what you are advised to do is only possible if you can figure out what the advice is that is being given. It's taken almost a week for a fair chunk of the country to figure out what bamboozling Boris was going on about last Sunday. Here is one analysis.

60 hours from test to result for me. I think that's brilliant! You always get whingers...it's in their personality! When this is all over you want to be proud of what you did and negativity is not going to do that.
It's not a case of going for a test if you feel you are sick, testing the population is a way of finding out who has the virus and those that may have had it or if anyone is asymptomatic. My wife and I went online to make an appt and we went last Friday, we had a reply by email on Tuesday that we are clear. And can go to work if we want to. The testing site is at the park and ride in Exeter.
"Terrifying"? If she has had no results after 10 days and she still feels ok it would suggest that she has not got it.
A leading doctor has said the decision to ease lockdown restrictions without proper testing was "terrifying". Rosie Toom is a self-employed foot practitioner from Dawlish in Devon who was first tested on 3 May after developing symptoms. More than 10 days later she's still waiting for the results.

@leatash You don't have to be a non tory to dislike Boris the Minion, as I know of people who were staunch tories and cannot stand him. (Minions. :- They mostly speak incomprehensible gibberish .)
Is that a non verbal comment on the state of the blithering buffoon's hair?
