@leatash - someone in my family was also on the receiving end of a similar attempted scam. thing is though she kept a thorough record of where & when the parcel was sent delivered/signed for etc and then argued her case. she won. the person on the other end kept chopping and changing their story re the 'non delivered'item which sort of made the whole thing distinctly fishy from the very start. ...

ok, thanks @ramt65 for letting me know.

A shameless plug for the closing performance of this year's (61st !) annual Dawlish Arts Festival.  At 7:30 Saturday 28th June, in the parish church, a concert including the first great English opera, Purcell's "Dido & Aeneas".  Bit of a rarity, don't miss it.  £9 (under 18s £2 only).

Post should have been removed 7 years ago. Racist and homophobic whether it's a spoof or not.

Good luck Red Rock Cafe.

After 34 years in the military and public service I am branching out on my own in an area I love - dog training. I will be offering a friendly, flexible but honest service. I am a great believer in honesty as sometimes it's not the dog with the problem! my website is under development. I intend to charge £60 for a consultation which will last between 60 to 90 minutes. This will be at your home ...

Teignmouth Coastguard and an ambulance crew were called to Coryton Cove, Dawlish after an eight year old girl got into trouble in the water on Saturday afternoon. The crews received the call out just after 4pm and she had to be pulled from the water. An ambulance was on hand for the youngster following the rescue. Source: ...

I know it was a late night, but way to miss the point Maggie. Look back to your post on 20 June at 13:13, and think about why you typed "Councillor Vickery" rather than "Bob". Why do you have a problem with anonymity though? Are you saying that the 99% of users of this website who are anonymous are "hiding"? And how does changing my username to, for example, Judith Chalmers, make me any less ...

On this issue of repainting old furniture in order to bring it up to date............. Take a look inside The Snooky Trust. I was in there today. Up by the counter is a glass cabinet (Edwardian type style/age - I know because we have an almost identical one in our garage). It has been repainted and looks, I think, stunning. I gather from overhearing a conversation between Caz and someone else ...

A similar thing happened a few years back with the carnival day procession which neariy had to be cancelled when the police refused to cover without the committee paying for extra cover. Not sure but didnt they have a moan about the pram race as well. Carer you maybe right

@FredBassett , the threads were removed due to the comments made, not because the accident was horrific.

Good afternoon eveybody! I was wondering if anybody remembers a Mr & Mrs Watts, and daughter Mavis, who ran Weech House as an hotel in the eary 1950s? I spent many years there on holiday with my parents. I have reason to believe that Mr Watts may subsequently have been an estate agent in the local area, maybe Teignmouth? They had twin sisters working for them as housekeepers/servants, and ...

Yes, my apologies, Fred. I got you muddled.  Have edited it.

This path raising is nothing more than 'best quick fix' (or 'low hanging fruit' as it gets called these days) to make the wall consistent with how it should have been built on day 1, and to give Dawlish some sort of fighting chance of last winter's collapse not being repeated. Nevertheless, it will be very interesting indeed to see how much debate is generated once the proper long term marine ...

Bump

Clive, she's passed away.

@Mrs C - my point is: - Am very pro cycling and cyclists in general for all the good health and environmental advantages it profers one and all, and am very well aware that ultimately (whoever may be at fault) it is motorists who kill cyclists not the other way around. - However, if cyclists wish to be supported by capital investment in dedicated routes then they ALL need to pay heed to the ...

just saying

I'd like to thank all the people that took the trouble to point me in different directions. At last , I believe that I've been found someone and at a reasonable price.

A petition will be at Open Daw for signature. Angie the co ordinator has also put it online. She is also hoping to put one is some local shops.

The Environment Agency, Teignbridge District Council and East Devon District Council are working on a beach management project that will look at two key locations on both sides of the estuary, Exmouth and Dawlish Warren. These organisations are working together to stage two public drop-in exhibitions in June to provide some more information on the project and give local people an opportunity to ...

Whatever your man and van offer to do it for, I will do it for the sam eamount as long as you give that amount to the sea cadets, hopefully i've explained myself i will  do for free, you still pay but in way of a donation to cadets :-)

SERVICE ON SUNDAY 15TH JUNE AT 6.30 PM. AT DAWLISH CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALIST CHURCH, 20 ALBERT ST. Tracey, blind since birth, is an absolute inspiration.  She travels from Plymouth on her own with support to help her on and off the train and when she has to change trains at Newton Abbot.  Of course, she is collected from the Station but all she undertakes, she does with the help and support of her ...

Fred I am out of touch I agree, Haven't applied for a job since i was 16 I like knowledge & experience a 25 year old most likely hasn't got either if they have I'd need to pay them a lot of money

Bumped again just so it's at the top

Hooray ish

thanks for informing us @Margaret Swift that it was not a private or confidential item and i do hope that in that email it was not an "official" council email. however for goodness sake you have done it again "i have come to expent the responses i get from a very small minority of councillors" have that small miniority of councillors also come to expect the responses they get for you? i guessed ...

Dawlish Carnival, I can't help but to assume that the money the Council give them will go to either the float, or atleast the majority of the float, as that is all they really are interested in or that it will go to thier own pockets. I sincerely hope that the Council keeps close account on everything and really does question every expenditure possible. And of course challenge anything that ...

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but I've just read that the purchaser of Shell Cove House was PegasusLife, who specialise in developing aspirational retirement homes. Some detail here: http://www.pegasuslife.co.uk/portfolio/dawlish-devon/

What do you expect from a right wing rag? Its purpose is to keep us voting conservative and to keep us busy by preying on our anxieties. Within days of the general election win, the right wing papers started turning its guns on people on benefits, immigrants and the disabled, as a ploy to move the spotlight away from big business and MPs stealing from us. The more we are worried about people on ...

After the groundbreaking statement during the winter floods when the organisation representing at least twenty of the UKs leading charities stated that they would not be helping with the flood relief efforts as the people of Somerset where generally wealthy and able to sort out their own problems. A member of my team has now uncovered another scam tatic being used by at least one  charity and ...

Dominic Biddlestone set up a tent inside a bedroom  of his Dawlish flat where he installed lights, fans, and ventilation. Biddlestone set up a sophisticated cannabis growing operation at his flat to save himself £130 a week he was spending on his drug habit. A gas inspector working at a property nearby became suspicious of the strong smell and call the police. See more... ...

good idea

Bradley Daines-Degroot assaulted two victims aged seven and 12. Daines-Degroot was a teenager when the assults took place. He denied there had been any form of sexual contact with either boy. He is autistic and was accompanied by a psychologist in the dock and the witness box throughout his five day trial in April. He was jailed for seven and a half years by judge Jeremy Griggs who said ...
