Went along to the Craft Fair at the Manor House earlier today. First time I've been inside the MH for probably a couple of years or so. Very nice now. Well done to everyone involved in its revamping. It, like all of you, is a credit to this town.

@ZIGGY . Thanks Ziggy for that.Some interesting comments on FB.

Or maybe this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-30040238

Speed restriction this morning due to the storm...so delays again. This is all becoming a bit annoying for people who want to travel by train! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=821691497896350&fref=nf

If there is a covenant that says the building must be used for young people's services for 25 years then could it not become the VIth Form Centre that Dawlish Learning Partnership wants for Dawlish? Or, despite the fact that I believe provision of a VIth Form facility features in the Local Plan, is that just aspirational, pie in the sky, wishful thinking? Apologies, but other than the provision of ...

Whilst I'm sure that "willsmith" is on the wind up, just for the record though the Exe Trail is a shared user route. I.e. for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

"What a lot of old tosh 'Counterfeiting is illegal and takes custom away from legitimate local traders'. 1)what local traders sell Raybans and Rolex watches!, 2) they advertised the items as replicas, 3) How a tiny fraction of the cost of the real thing is denting the pockets of the genuine manufacturers." 1) There will be many local traders selling these products, doesn't just mean local to you. ...

James Pollard, 29, had been sleeping in a tent in a concrete shelter overlooking the sea for about five weeks when he overdosed on Saturday May 3. His partner Natalie Metcalf woke in the morning to find him deceased in his sleeping bag beside her.

Judith. One train was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, the rest because of train faults. Also you are spot on with your post. @Lynne , its Wednesday December 3rd.

Cool day off for the kids.

The Environment Agency says: “Flooding is possible for East facing coastal locations, including Beesands, Torcross, Slapton, Torbay and Dawlish for the evening tide on November 10. Read more... http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/Flood-alert-Torbay-South-Devon/story-24508517-detail/story.html

If the grandmother had not put it on the Dawlish Neigbourhood Police FB page in the first place it might not have gained its notoriety

Thanks for your, ahem, "constructive" comment Old Fart... It brought a smile to my face when I saw that you didn't answer mine and Lynne's question on the migration thread.

************Update************ Weather is looking good for the Dawlish Parade which starts at 2:45pm in Park Road by the Central Hall/Siew May/Lansdowne, then along to the Swan and up to the St. Gregorys War Memorial.

Dawlish and Torbay could really benefit in many ways if they go for it. Currently the Paignton - Exmouth local train off peak calls every hoiur at Dawlish at 50 min pass the hour. If the line was put in place a loop service could mean, say, leave Plymouth on the half hour, this would mean trains would reach Dawlish at 20 mins pass the hour, and so with the Paignton line provide a half hourly ...

The containers are now finished with and are being moved from the sea wall to the Red Rock beach where they are being crushed.

Just thought I'd bring this to people's attention given as council funded homes are closing and not all have the wherewithall to find the money for private nursing home fees. http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/2392.aspx?CategoryID=68 (and yes I know that = public money (aka tax payers' money) going straight into the private sector again but.........we are where we are)

Highly recommend people having a read of the whole of this report (see link at bottom of quote) "As 29% of low paid workers work in retail, this sector in particular is coming under intense scrutiny. A recent report by The Fair Pay Network found that despite collectively making billions of pounds worth of profits and paying their CEO’s millions of pounds a year, not one of the top 4 supermarkets ...

No Old Fart, I've merely asked for clarification on a point you raised followed by a sensible question to you - on a thread that I started. If you're unable or unwilling to answer the request and/or question, then just say so, instead of turning the thread into a personal attack on me.  Ironically, Lynne raised a similar question to mine...

Lloyds did say on the bbc radio 4 today programme that they would honour an agreement not to close the last bank in a town. I would assume that that would include Dawlish

Don't forget all of the Sheltered Housing Schemes who have had their Warden funding removed! This policy is just not 'joined up' - Give it 2 years tops and the DCC housing for older people policy will be in absolute turmoil! There is no doubt that some older people will suffer and even die from this. DCC should be ashamed of themselves!

TEN people were arrested in London during dawn raids linked to a £2m phone scam which included elderly target victims in Dawlish. Widespread police publicity about the hoodwinking culprits is thought to have saved Dawlish and other Teignbridge targets from the worst excesses of the gang’s swindling exploits. Read more... ...

Hopefully you'll be pleased to learn that the off-season free parking on a Sunday has started again in Dawlish. Please remember that this applies to TDC car parks only - and therefore not to on-street parking.

a/ Ive nevermentioned Council Tax b/ its in relation to forcing fire personnel to work to 60 before they can collect their pension. Get with it wondering

and so the sorry RTB saga continueth http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/great-council-house-selloff-scandal-righttobuy-council-houses-leave-nowhere-for-poor-to-live-9832339.html

Pasta was not eaten in Australia. Curry was a surname. A takeaway was a mathematical problem. A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower. All potato chips were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the salt on or not. Rice was only eaten as a milk pudding. Calamari was called squid and we used it as fish bait. A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining. Brown bread was ...

Bump.

Ahem! For those who might like to know more about this I noticed that BBC Spotlight featured it in their lunch time programme today. I imagine they will be running the same feature in their 6.30pm programme this evening.

Anyone know if the seating is to be reinstated?

@Wondering . I agree %100 with you. but NR  must make the seawall resillant to winter weather.

An interesting letter in today's Express & Echo. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Reader-8217-s-Letter-Exeter-losing-8216-Capital/story-23666698-detail/story.html

Is there a bonfire at Newlands this year ? I have some wood & tree branches available for collection........

This coming Sunday we have two new Mediums, Aiysha Webber and Brian Brown.  Brian came with Steven Watson recently as Mediums for our Clairvoyant Evening and gave good evidence of life beyond life.  Aiysha and Brian have worked together before but not at Dawlish.  We look forward to giving them a warm welcome with a good Congregation.  Please come along if you have the time or inclination;  the ...

As before those in power will take no heed of the impending disasters as they lavish in their spoils and castles. In the false assumption that they are  protected from the masses by their own arrogance! Thanks for posting the link Lynne.
