Please can anyone recommend a vinyl/carpet fitter.

Wondering there's some interesting stuff posted on here. Not sure why that should be banned just because you can't ignore it.  Probably best just to not visit the site.

Spring and summer are just around the corner, which means barbeques, swim parties and camp outs are going to be all the rage.  Is your yard ready for the spotlight?  Preparing your yard to host guests is not only fun, but easily affordable if you know what you are doing.  Do not worry about custom designing furniture or hiring a decorator to make your yard look spectacular.  Here are some ways you ...

Teignbridge District Council's share of the Council Tax remains unchanged for the sixth year in a row after Full Council approved budget plans for the coming financial year. Prudent financial management, ongoing savings and additional income identified through a series of internal business challenge reviews have contributed to maintain front line services whilst absorbing cuts in grant funding ...

To return to Elm Grove Road being the only road in and out (until the road from Sainsbury's roundabout gets built). So, Elm Grove Road/Gatehouse end of Secmaton Lane is to be used by building site traffic which will go past two schools, a nursery (believe Gatehouse farmhouse is being turned into a nursery) an ever increasing amount of residential property and a therefore ever increasing amount of ...

Ah, the joys of the open road! Shame about the view, mind...

Christianity is practised by many denominations most of which have their own identification through a variety of names, rules and regulations which are peculiar to each denomimation and which are usually run by the hirearchy  posted to those specific Churches.  As an independent Christian Spiritualist Church we are guided and directed by our ability to absorb and practise the teachings of ...

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!

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 ...

Fridge: Yep that is awful. People with money making more money from people without money. Needs to be stopped now.

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.
