You're missing the point completely! I'm not saying that it shouldn't be flown, just don't be surprised that some people associate the flag with racism because of the hijacking of it by the racists!

and this, amongst other things, is what the Local Plan says about tourism developments (my emphasis in bold). 3.18 In the open countryside away from settlements, there are a wide number of potential tourist businesses that can contribute to the area’s economy and meet sustainable development requirements. These are set out in the policy. Various other policies will need to be considered in ...

I do sort of agree that the apprenticeship schemes are worthwhile, providing the qualification gained is relevant, the experience in the workplace is progressed during the time of the placement ie. not stalled after they learn how to make a brew and take a phone message, and there is a real chance of a full time job at the end - not just a thanks and 'next trainee please'. I understand that ...

Yes Paul. You are being silly with your extreme right wing Nazi views and opinions.

Fridge: Yep that is awful. People with money making more money from people without money. Needs to be stopped now. Stand up: That seems a little hard to believe, perhaps there are a few cases of bad behaviour but on the whole MPs are hard working. I do think there is way too many of them though. Universal credit: I don't know much about it, but on the face of it, it seems like a good idea to ...

It would be good to see some younger faces at the services, they're the ones to carry the torch into the future.  Interesting to learn that Paul Holman's brother later went on to marry Vivien Leigh.

Hope they take it to a vet who will know if it's microchipped.

@Lynne , there are going to be task groups to lead on each aspect of the plan and these will fully engage with the public. there will also be other opportunities for engagement with the public and the chair has made it absolutely clear that the steering group will be seeking the views of the people of dawlish on every aspect of the plan. the minutes of all meetings will be published, i understand ...

I think Flo's hit the nail on the head. Welcome back to the Swift clan - hope you all had a nice break away together.

I believe NWR are awaiting answers to their questions put to the developers and until that information has been provided by the developers, and NWR assured of the viability of the proposed building, then the planning application will not proceed.

Another question: What's the first sign of madness?

It's true! At long last, TDC are going to employ someone to remove unsightly seaweed from our beaches during the summer months. Focus will be on the Warren and Coryton Cove. For an application pack, contact Sarah Leech on 01626 779770. #recruitmentagentaswell

Haha! How estate-agentist of you! x

A man with a drink problem who set fire to his own home has admitted putting the lives of his neighbours in danger. Philip Fewings had been drinking cider for several hours before he lit two fires in his garden, another in a communal hallway and a fourth inside his flat in Dawlish. The last fire was put out within seconds by firefighters who had already been called to the other late night blazes ...

The Dawlish rail closure cost Devon £18.6 million in lost holiday bookings. The ban by Education Secretary, Michael Gove, on taking children out of school in term time has wiped £42 million from Devon bookings (as well as caused hardship to local people who work in the industry and can’t now take a family holiday themselves).

Slightly off the topic of taxi drivers but on topic with regard to speeding............. Probably because I have learnt to drive (don't do it that often but I have driven) I can think 'driver' when I am walking. Thus, whenever I cross a pedestrian crossing/pelican crossing or whatever I really do make sure that no vehicles are coming hell for leather in my direction. A particular case in point, ...

That's as maybe Wondering.  Much is made of the North/South divide but having experienced all three locations, the South West gets a very bad deal.   If it didn't have its landscape it'd be even further down the pile.

Funny you should point this out, as I looked at this site this morning and couldn't belive how many were listed.  Usually only a few are for sale, so it makes a nice change to see such a selection.  I guess it is the start of the house selling season.  It would be good to see how fast or slow they sell as this would point to demand.

Thanks for bringing this to people's attention Flo. This is a service that we have supported for a number of years and one which is well used and very much needed

This Sunday we are pleased to welcome Aiysha Webber and Stephen Watson as Guest Speakers for our Service at 6.30 p.m.
