Anyone else catch that 30 minute railway programme last evening? It was based down here abouts and one of the places it featured was - Dawlish. What fantastic free publicity for the town. (I used the title above as that is how Michael Portillo described the town) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01qgm2b/Great_British_Railway_Journeys_Series_4_Exmouth_to_Newton_Abbot/
Probably varies throughout the year. As this is a tourist area there will be seasonal work March through to September/October.

It will be interesting to see how Farage and UKIP fare now and what strategies UKIP follows now that UKIP's virtual raison d'etre has been hijacked by Cameron.
and following on from the point that Leatash makes .......will all those Brits who live and work in other EU countries have to come home to Blighty? I assume so. All those who have retired to the Costas come home now. (Oh yeah ,I forgot......there's a property problem in Spain........).
