I take it you have done a scan for new channelsas directed by freeview a week ago. If not give that a try.

Parents and pet owners are being warned after reports emerged that poison has been put down in parks in Newton Abbot, Dawlish and Exmouth. Rumours that two dogs have died after visiting a park in Dawlish have sparked concern among the public. Signs have been put up in Dawlish and Newton Abbot warning of the poisoning. The sign in Newton Abbot states anti-freeze has been poured into puddles in Ben ...

and there is also this (of which it seems the NFOP is a member) http://www.opalliance.org.uk/

I don't have a mob, unless of course you are referring to my fellow Councillors.

Not that I know anything about this, but doesn't cob need a certain level of moisture content ?  I wonder if this dry summer has cause it to crumble ?

@b.o.liking - pretty sure that the issue of education (tuition fees) and health (nhs) are devolved powers therefore the members of the scottish parliament would have decided on those charges - or lack of them. However, I believe you are correct to say that all MPs elected to Westminster from all four countries of the UK have  the right to vote in Westminster on matters specifically English - such ...

I always stop and have a word with John and see if he OK, a very interesting person. Brian the Mole Catcher.

Walking through Teignmouth, near the seafront, this morning, and saw the aftermath of a car that seemed to have rolled back into a parked Volvo estate.  Police were in attendance and one lone male was with him. I had a look and for the life of me could not work out how the blue car had come to make contact with the parked Volvo. There were no empty car park spaces opposite. Where the blue car may ...

The planning application is to be considered by the TDC Planning Committee on Tues 23 Sept. a committee made up of Councillors. Here's the thing, if you are an objector or a supporter,  you have had only eleven days notification of the meeting telling you that only ONE objector or ONE supporter can speak at the meeting.  If you are a third party to a planning application you do not have the right ...

I saw them up close in Norway a few years ago, they were magical.   If we saw them as a matter of course in this country I wonder if we might all calm down a bit?   Without doubt Devon offers food for the soul too, do we end up taking such things for granted when there's easy access to them?

This Sunday, 14th September, we are delighted to welcome Tracey McQuaid to Dawlish Christian Spiritualist Church, once again.  Tracey is such an inspiration, she cheerfully dedicates her life to serve the World of Spirit despite her many health issues over and above her lack of sight.  We are looking forward to another uplifting Service with her and hope for a good Congregation.  Please come in ...

@Beezlebub2000-Flitflot - yes, and i wonder who is paying for that,  retorical! a prime example of why this country is in such a dire pile of rear end waste. while those in charge of governing it pay their family members up to £50 k a pop to sharpen their pencils, so to speak. even the scots have had enough of us and that's really scraping the bottom of the sporon.

When I was in Exeter earlier this week I found myself (along with quite a few others) rooted to the pavement listening to some lovely guitar music (sounded Spanish) being played by a street musician. I was so impressed I asked him for his details. Do a search on his name -  Stripey Howling Hancock and you will find links. He is definitely a crowd puller. Stripey Howling Hancock, Tel: 01392 202447 ...

Featuring in the episode are Scuba-diving science teacher Philip Austin, burlesque event organiser Sarah ...

That's probably the case Ken.  I would guess something hasn't been done properly.

One appliance from Dawlish and one from Teignmouth were mobilised to a report of a three vehicle road traffic collision at the above location.  Two people were believed to be trapped within the vehicles. On their arrival crews met the Ambulance Service who were in attendance and treating the casualties, one of whom was medically trapped in a vehicle.  Crews went to work to remove the roof of this ...

Thanks again Linda.

Clive Men of course = argh! My mother used to say think before you speak, shame yours didn't

I think you're mistaken, no-one has speculated about the inside.

I understand life expectancy for men is lower.  One out, one in...

Ellen - my paternal grandmother's name and one of my daughter's middle names. But not my name.

Unfortunately, Jamie Tennant is unable to serve Dawlish Christian Spiritualist Church this coming Sunday but I have been given the name of a lovely new Medium called Caroline Sheehan, who is willing to stand in and looking forward to serving our Church for the first time.   If you have the time and the inclination, please come along to welcome her and to share a spiritually uplifting evening with ...

Social Media Cafe tonight at Rivera cafe bar in Teignmouth 6.00pm

Thanks very much Stephen15 but I used an iPhone.  Thought there might be a way on the site like we can use bold, underline, italics etc.   Have noticed it on other posts from time to time, maybe it's a compatibility thing.

A special pint of beer has been brewed to celebrate the re-opening on the Exeter to Pymouth line following the winter storms that breached the sea wall at Dawlish. The brew, Dawlish - on Track, which boasts a 5per cent ABV,- will be raised at Dawlish railway station on Saturday when real ale campaigners from across the region gather for the special celebration. Organised by the Exeter and East ...

Yes, I also thought along similar lines to yourself when I read that bit.

Never assume. It makes an ass out of u and me.

@Clive .  yes, agree.  it's obviously an issue with roof-mounted panels but solar arrays in fields could be arranged in a semi-circle to pick up more power evenly throughout the day.

@Clive By looking at the reports, it was the Canadian 'Lanc' and will have to have a replacement engine. Good luck to the crew when they return home.

Amazing isn't it the info that you come across when you look into a particular subject. Of late, mine's been the UK state pension. And guess what else I've found out about it. Well, would you believe it, depending on which country the UK ex pat lives will determine whether or not their UK state pension gets index linked or not. For example: A UK woman goes to live with her son in the US. Come she ...

Dawlish holiday park worker guilty of theft. See more... http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/Dawlish-holiday-park-worker-guilty-theft/story-22843973-detail/story.html

Yes, awful awful news. Thought it was something serious though as I know someone who travelled that way about 3.30pm yesterday who told me the road was sealed off the Topsham side of Countess Wear and then someone else I know who travelled that way about 8.15pm last evening also said the road was still sealed off. Sadly a road being sealed off that length of time usually means a very serious or ...

Thanks for the information I will do a bit of research  and take it to the next CIC meeting on 20th September..  Will update as and when I can.

haha @Lynne i know i've completely lost the thread now ... thanks @Dorian

Can any one tell me,  are the social benefits of money offered to communities by applicants (as in this case) relevant to the decision, that is ... are they a material consideration.

Margarethe Hearne, who was unable to support Dawlish Christian Spritualist Church on 10th August, has agreed to stand in for the cancellation we received from Claire Corner.  Margarethe is a lovely spiritual lady and we are delighted to welcome her as our Guest Speaker this coming Sunday.  We look forward to seeing her and all those who came on 10th August, expecting to see her, and anyone else ...
