Well, I tried 'clearing my browsing data' in Chrome, and it seems to have gone away, fingers crossed.

Joking aside, Tangmere did actually have a potentially serious accident last November 23rd at Winchfield on the way back to Waterloo from Weymouth.  It was reported in this month's rail magazines that a connecting pin at the front of it's driving wheels sheared off leaving the long connecting rod potentially able to 'pole vault' the loco off the rails.  Luckily the train was only doing 40mph and ...

Wonder if the webmaster wil beablle to doaything about the problems

In February, the path and railway line that runs above the sea wall were seriously damaged by massive waves . The walkway is the final section of footpath between Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth to be repaired following the damage. The section will be constructed using precast concrete L units and ballast backfill. All works will be undertaken from the seaward side of the railway using two jack-up ...

nor are these my words: "...........the utter cynicism with which Osborne (and Cameron) went about exploiting what was by any measure a global economic crisis for their own ends. Although they now complain of Labour profligacy, one has to pinch oneself to recall that, until the end of 2008, the Tories were signed up to match Labour's spending on the main public servies "pound for pound". They were ...

Thanks.  I appreciate you always taking the time to find these things out.

Recently at a local campsite a male has just gone into a tent and also a shower block and stolen duvets, loo rolls and hand sanitisers etc. The suspect has been seen around the site (which is in Kenn) and is apparently sleeping rough somewhere in woodland around the area between Kenn and Kenton (possibly Powderham) He apparently looks like – ‘ MALE AGED 60ISH GREASY GREY HAIR THINNING ON TOP ...

the area is called celtic fields i think?

Agree.  Dawlish hospital is a fantastic place and the staff extremely caring.

Neighbourhood Plan for Dawlish - 26.09.14 Dawlish Town Council has decided to continue to formulate a Neighbourhood Plan in accordance with Plan Teignbridge. Much work has been done in the past and the new Plan is to look at infrastructure and community projects on which the new Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies can be spent in the Parish.  This does not include land, housing or the ...

You might just be right about snow Elvis, my neighbour has just added his contribution to climate change by filling up his back garden with loadsa loadsa logs ready for the big freeze he is anticipating.

I find myself agreeing with JC here.  Verity is a work of art because it is a one off, challenging, striking and is apparently a 'modern allegory about truth and justice'. The 'mermaid' (wot no tail?) is let's just say, ...well... it just looks like something fom the garden centre ...but oversized. Suggest you may actually get several hundred pounds for it down there. At best try putting it in a ...

Teignbridge DCC gone mobile pity thought you meant they had Bu--ered Off.

Hi dobbsydotcom, thanks for your rapid response to my query. I had found a brief mention of the pier during Google searches (from  the Southampton Geo. site) but no details. Your links will hopefully provide what i need. Best regards. AW

I saw the fence panels being used in the skate park on Sunday. I believe the council are responible for the repairs.  At what cost i wonder?

One Fire Engine from Dawlish and one from Teignmouth were sent to deal with these incidents. On arrival crews confirmed that there were several flats involved in the flooding.

Ground worker Kevin Fenton converted the loft of his home in Dawlish, Devon into a miniature cannabis farm with lights, heaters, extractor fans and a power lead channelled through a cupboard in his bedroom. He was found with 26 growing plants and more than £4,000 worth of harvested drugs when police raided his home in February. Fenton, aged 41, of First Avenue, Dawlish, admitted production of ...

User4549 - that's disgusting. I hope the perpetrators are found and dealt with (by the police, not by baseball bat wielding vigilantes). Then named and shamed.

Craig James, 40, from Golden Sands, Dawlish Warren, pleaded guilty this morning at Torquay Magistrates Court to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of criminal damage on September 6. He also pled guilty to a course of harassment to a female between September 6 and 13. Mitigating, Jeff Sagen said that James deserved credit for handing himself into the police, making ...

@Clive . And cannot tell that the sea is choppy. Good picture on Dawlish Beach Facebook page.

Never been against a replacement bandstand or a stage like structure, don't belong to any mob or entrenched against any change - just dont agree with diminishing public open spaces,  for whatever reasons. Not sure I like your style JC - where is the love?   END

I live in Dawlish and have a large selection of sheet music that I wish to sell.  I have set up a facebbok page that lists all the pieces that are available. If you are interested then please feel free to take a look. The page can be found at www.facebook.com/sheetmusicshop.co.uk

and it would have to be a wall, wouldn't it? I mean, border control checks on just the roads and rail lines would be no good as there is so much open countryside along which the border of England and Scotland runs that it would be child's play to cross over from one country to the other that way. No need to travel by rail or road at all. Talking of border countryside. I was just idly wondering to ...

What a great picture of the members of Dawlish Royal British Legion standing to attention behind their standard under the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium , and what a great honour for you all to be able to do that. Well done lads, and lasses.. Once again, you have done Dawlish proud. Thank you.

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 ...

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 ...
