@ FB We moan because we have seen better, before it became the Farley/Rowland ego trip. There used to be something going on on the lawn non stop. The westcountry TV bus used to be on the lawn, where you could meet some of the presenters. The Marines used to come and demonstrate unarmed combat, plus many other events that are far too many to mention. Yes Fred, go back a few years ...
At least the weather will be clearing up later for the Grand Procession. John Nash Drive will be 2 abreast with floats from visiting royalty and pubs and clubs from miles around. The biggest and best procession beckons.

Although I am against this backdoor (or backgarden) community tax increase, and some of you are talking about alternative companies to collect garden waste, I think that you will find it hard to get it cheaper than the £1:35 per fortnight (£1:16 if on benefits) that TDC are charging.
Looking at the schedule, a whole week of non stop fun for all ages.
Morning all. Why is it that when you leave an empty bag on your doorstep, the charity(ies) involved leave them behind. This all adds up to increased costs to them in producing more bags, and tons more plastic in landfill, as the bags are quite useless for anything else. It's not just the odd occasion but everytime.
@Netiquette "Even with a weekly collection I'll still struggle with the garden waste. It's all shrubs and trees so when they're pruned the cuttings more than exceed a green bin." If you have trouble with shrubs etc, why not invest in a Shredder? I did last year at a cost of approx £60 and is well worth its money. Just a thought.
All very well and I am in favour of limits and sizes, but what I would like to know is how are they going to enforce it with the beach anglers.
Being an 'Outsider' whom Ms Farley seems to object to and still has to issue some sort of apology for that remark, I now find it difficult to get into any kind of carnival spirit and again, I will not be supporting anything tha the CC do.
What a great turnout and parade. Well done to Dawlish Royal British Legion for organising it. Makes me feel proud to be British.
