Based on recommendations I went to Rock n Sole with large orders but twice came away with the wrong food packed. Thankfully Model Fish Cafe re-opened as the much improved Chip Ahoy so we go there now. Even so, a visit to any chip shop is an expensive business these days!
When I first encountered what I think are the 'alkies' under discussion here, I was uneasy. As it happened I was friendly to one of their dogs and as a result ended up having a reasonable conversation with them. Can't help feeling sorry their lives have gone that way but maybe if they're not treated like pariahs, they might not behave so anti-socially. I saw one of them being turfed out of the ...
A few days ago Cllr Michael Clayson posted up a PDF of the Town Crier. In it was an article about the Town Manager's role, encouraging people to contact her with ideas, concerns etc with a view to making Dawlish a better place.

I don't know the history of this, but it seems from the comments that politics are bringing it down. I wouldn't want to see the Carnival in Dawlish Warren, I want to see Dawlish keep it, otherwise it may as well give up the ghost completely. ...
As an aside, the cost of living in London is only when it comes to property. Like for like I pay more in council tax, public transport, petrol and water rates down here than I ever did in London. And on the rare occasions I've needed to get a taxi to/from Exeter, it's been as expensive as my old mini cab firm!
I'd forgotten what a seaside town was meant to look like.
Apparently it's scheduled to get two waterings a week for the next 6-8 weeks. I don't pass often enough to know if that's happening but if not call the Teignbridge Open Spaces number on 215851.
