Hi BahHumbug. Sounds like a good idea. Do you have a link to a Facebook page for this? Or any other link we can follow to find out more? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://www.dawlishblue.co.uk
I must stand up for the Co-op staff I encounter at my normal shopping time which is after 5pm on my way from work. I've always found the staff to be friendly and helpful - especially the lads who work there.

And then we'd be left with empty shops. There are a limited number of customers in Dawlish, it's a small town, and our town ...
