How much is the carnival programme this year?  I see Teignmouth's is £1 which seems a good deal.

I guess you never know.  We had quite a few issues with our dog when he was a puppy and the insurance company were brilliant.  If it gets prohibitively expensive as he gets older we may have to have a rethink.

beautiful day today @ZIGGY .  lucky we weren't in the south east today by the sounds of it!  not wishing to spoil it i did report the apparent sewerage leak at junction of exeter rd/henty rd to sww earlier today and they said they'd look into it.  is it my imagination or is the sewerage system in dawlish buckling under the strain?

Last weekend saw 40 junior Octopush players from Dawlish, aged 9 – 18, make the long trek to Leeds to contest the British Underwater Hockey Age Group Championships, they had a small army of parental support to facilitate.  The competition raged for nine gruelling hours on the Saturday as the round-robin stages became play-offs and, at last, finals.  Some of the matches against the very best of ...

Re-inforcing the current Dawlish line could cost between £400 million and £700 million, the Network Rail report is expected to say The Government will today effectively commit to spending at least £400 million to ensure there is never a repeat of the main Devon and Cornwall railway line collapsing into the sea at Dawlish. Ministers will publish a report produced by Network Rail following ...

STAFF at a South Devon holiday park took customer care to new limits when they delivered a baby. Distressed holidaymaker Leanne Barnes arrived at the Welcome Holiday Park in Dawlish Warren and immediately went into labour. She had no idea she was pregnant and no time to get to a hospital. Undaunted by the emergency staff members Kathryn Hammett and Rachel Addison went into action. With ...
