Beauties they were too.

Apparently a bank can become a betting shop without a change of use required as both are financial. It just goes to show your gambling putting your money in to a bank

It's bloody amazing how savings were conveniently found from other areas of the council budget to pay for the groundwork on this doomed proposal, yet essential services like public toilets are still under threat.

Huw - was it Devon County Council staff or Devon County Council councillors who cut the wages beause of central government policy? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-23977843 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-27849772

Competition is good well done Weatherspoons

Just got back from Teignmouth. A379 into Teignmouth just by New Road is cordoned off and traffic is diverted along New Road and then down Exeter Road to get into/out of the town.

Date: 10/07/2014 Time: 06:13 Location: A379, Station Road, Exminster Area: Central County: Devon Two appliances from Danes Castle and Topsham were mobilised to reports of an RTC at the above location. On arrival crews discovered an RTC with one vehicle overturned with all persons free and clear of the vehicle. Crews made the vehicle safe and requested the attendance of BT for damage to a BT pole. ...

...and very well deserving it is too.  However, just a little bit of my cynicism tells me...keep piling on the praise of how quick and well it was all done and we will have made at least half a case to commit to nothing major this side of the election.

Not everyone in London gets 'stupid wages', particularly professional engineers (and I don't mean plumbers etc who do very nicely thank you). Professional engineers don't get a penny more than anywhere else in the country, so are actually far worse off in London, assuming they even have a job!! As for the NHS, it may not be a perfect solution, but is still far more equitable than the alternative ...

pay 25% more tax you idiot ,not everyone can afford to pay it as it is,for the sake of maintaining hedges etc,get a life you idiot

@Merlin228 - thanks for the assist.

Never mind what it is called, we had a nice walk in the rain to Red Rock Cafe today and enjoyed our cup of coffee and bread pudding. Well worth the walk.

If the aerial's pointing towards the back of the town towards Badlake Hill,  I think it's Dawlish Relay, and if it's pointing towards Exmouth it's Stockland Hill.  I may be wrong though.

25million tonnes of sand, or a million 25tonne lorry loads - that really is quite something - I wonder what King Canute would have to say

I understand that the Environment Agency will allow Teignbridge to resume works in September.

When they see the facts Mrs C hopefully they will realise it is not scaremongering!

Thank you, and will do. Michael

@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.

This will be at your home so ...

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 they had ...

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