Well they've reneged on Dementia Care Homes promises and now Sheltered Housing: http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Elderly-residents-claim-paying/story-19818755-detail/story.html As part of the 'Stepping Down' programme who is going to be hit next by this short-sighted Devon County Council Programme?

@DJ , I totally agree, 650 MPs is stupidly high. For example, Plymouth has 3 MPs, each of them doing nothing, so why not just have one MP doing for Plymouth instead?

We should all have these stickers.

We are holding our third Macmillan coffee morning on Friday 27th September 2013, as well as giving our profits away for the day(a bit mad for a coffee shop) we will have a raffle and a bottle stall to try and boost the funds. It's difficult to keep asking for raffle prizes but if anyone can donate a bottle of anything for the bottle stall we would be most grateful. You can ...

Paul Its not that i am against holliday makers its just we pay some of the highest utilities in the country so folk can come here and enjoy themselves.  It only seems fair that they make a contribution, i have also paid local tax in Spain and Portugal i wonder if other countries have local tax for camp sites.

Rain or shine, a walk on Dawlish beach is lovely.

To even up any comments about USA bashing these bloody Russians should remember the Arctic convoys and the people that died getting supplies through. from this small country.Arms and food we could have well done with here. Bloody cheeky Commi Ba----ds We should NOT be reliant on our so called friends as we don't have any. The sooner M.P's realise this the better.

It was very enjoyable to see Charlie Stait (not sure of the spelling of his surname) make the odious IDS squirm this morning on ITV.

We should form a welcoming committee!

@ Fred Have pulled up close to a Buzzard in the car many times and they are not at all bothered, but, when that car door opens up, that's a different story. They don't hang around as soon as that happens.

As someone who was critical of many aspects of Carnival week,  I thought the Airshow and entire weeked was fantastic, right through to Monday night in the Marquee.   Hopefully it's clear for all to see that collaborating rather than being a closed shop is in the town's interest.  I was very proud to see how Dawlish raised its game.  More of the same please!

Heck of a rush to get the washing in!

What a great 2 days , Great for the family  .  My kids loved it .Well done to everyone.

Just come back from the town. It is positively heaving with people and all high areas (Lea Mount, Sandy Lane Playing Fields, hill by The Smugglers) also full of people. Will be watching from the front and back windows of my house. Perfect weather for an air display. Must go now - Red Arrows have probably just taken off from Exeter Airport and due to arrive here shortly.

Well said hedgehog.

There was loads of dust, shower required!

Thanks.  I love seeing old pictures of Dawlish.  Does anyone know if Dawlish Airshow organises any aerial photos or do the crews need to be focused on the flying?  They'd make very good local history documents.

A two day event by Dawlish Air Show starting on Friday 23rd with (ground attractions only) Saturday 24th The Red Arrows will open the Air Show.

Those tankers have also been pumping out all week on sandy lane carpark. South West Water aswell. None of them had paid for a parking ticket to be parked allday. Try that if you was a trader.
