From an article in The Guardian "The break in the line at Dawlish, which runs within metres of the sea, reignited the controversy over a failure to make the rail link to the far south-west more resilient. Suggestions have included rerouting the line inland or covering it with a shelter. The Exeter MP, Ben Bradshaw, published a copy of a letter from the Peninsula Rail Taskforce , which ...
Michael, I have a black plastic bag full of my daughter's clothing (size 8/10) which was, this time last week, going to find its way to a charity shop. However, what a difference a week makes! Don't know if any of the clothes would be of use for anyone but I'll leave that for those in need to decide. Thing is, I only have access to a car at weekends. If you know what times on Saturdays ...
@wondering - i don't use the train that often admittedly but it is my preferred form of public transport and is much cheaper to get to exeter/newton abbot than the bus and is even cheaper if using a devon and cornwall rail card (mine has just run out by the way. i almost renewed it the other day but the bad weather put me off going into the town to do so........). so, i for one will most ...
Okay - just checked the taps again - a dribble. Checked next door - neighbour has the same problem but tells me that she knows of others nearby who have no supply at all. We are talking Higher Drive and Lower Drive area but of course others in other streets may be affected as well. I have now reported the fault to South West Water. Update:SWW have just phoned back (blimey there's ...
Water, water everywhere but nothing coming through my pipes! Anyone else lost their water supply? Mine was okay until about 10 minutes ago.

Goes to show how you have to look behind the un/employment figures that are published in the press. Here's what Channel 4 news has to say on employment in London and employment elsewhere in the country. http://www.channel4.com/news/london-north-south-divide-cities (My point being, just in case you wondered, is that just because London in particular is creating jobs that doesn't ...
Been away in London for a few days (anyone want to know what a local Dawlish Ukiper said to me about that please let me know 'cos I'll be only too pleased to tell) and came back to see a request from MC that we should perhaps have more local and less national politics. Happy to oblige Michael. I see in this week's Dawlish Post that the number of Job Seekers in Teignbridge bucked the national ...
Anyone want to bet on interest rates staying low until after May 2015? http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/jan/23/interest-rate-rise-bank-of-england Oh and apparently wages have been keeping up with the cost of living (well....according to the government) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25869001 # Hands up all those who feel better off now than they did four years or so ...
