"The wishes of the people" were that 44% wanted the pavilion but only 36% wanted a Victorian bandstand. The most remarkable wish of the people was that of 20% of them who wanted the current bandstand left as it is.

This was the first, and only, official opening of the completed regeneration of the Strand.

After reading Mrs Holman's comments, I trust that her words put an end to this nonsense. And presumably seeing that the identity of Merlin/Annother46 is known via LinkedIn, then we will see no more illiterate rants from them on here. Surely they wouldn't have the brass neck?  And to think that Annother and her ally Margaret Swift both accused me of having no intelligence on this thread. How ironic ...

I. Did. Not. State. That. You. Mentioned. Bullying.

I find the polar extremes of opinion regarding this chap when compared to their opinion of other travellers to be quite interesting.

A great idea there Howard. Apart from the bit about the orange jackets...

Was it tittle-tattle though?? Do your research!!!

Brooklyn Bridge says "knickers" to using hyperlinks! :-)

Lynne, you don't do technology do you? I was Mrs C until I changed my username (I didn't set up a new account) to my current username in order to demonstrate to whoever it was on here that by posting under a "real" name doesn't necessarily make ones opinion any more valid than someone not using a "real" name. It it is funny though that neither BB or Elvis ever post anything on here other than to ...

I'd wager that more local people read EoD, where this info has already been published, than the Gazette letters page.

This is the funniest thread of the year so far! Thanks Lynne! :-)

And Dorian's poetry was reported why and by whom?? Come on Burneside - paws up...

Wondering, there's nothing to laugh at.  OAPs don't use them at night therefore they're near-empty. They're full during the day (off-peak) because of the OAPs and their "free" bus passes.  How long is it since you left Dawlish anyway?

And in 10 years time, the people living in the houses at Shutterton will be moaning about the houses being built on the green fields at Cofton, etc, etc, etc...

You're missing the point completely! I'm not saying that it shouldn't be flown, just don't be surprised that some people associate the flag with racism because of the hijacking of it by the racists!

More chance of finding that out than there is of Ken being man enough to apologise!

I'd like to think that "Paul" is only referring to those who are obese because they eat too much and are unwilling (not unable) to do anything about it. And I wouldn't have thought that "I've a low metabolism" would count as unable. This policy statement of Cameron's is all about headline grabbing in the Daily Fail though. Take away benefits from druggies and winos and what will they do?  They ...

Thank you for the comprehensive detail Michael. Your post has has prompted me to look at September 25th 1914 to try to understand the horrific number of fatalities incurred that day. I assume these men and boys were part of the Battle of Loos. Reading, at a high level only, about that battle demonstrates the sheer futility of war. Over 8,000 casualties in 4 hours, a lot of which were caused by the ...

Hi Sandycott. Another one of the family are you?  Sharing the same computer perhaps? I've done nothing re the NP because I'm not the person on here moaning about it. I actually trust the steering group to deliver what the town needs - obviously if there is a consultation questionnaire or somesuch, then I'll make sure that I engage via that medium.

I think Flo's hit the nail on the head. Welcome back to the Swift clan - hope you all had a nice break away together.

Another question: What's the first sign of madness?

It's true! At long last, TDC are going to employ someone to remove unsightly seaweed from our beaches during the summer months. Focus will be on the Warren and Coryton Cove. For an application pack, contact Sarah Leech on 01626 779770. #recruitmentagentaswell

Haha! How estate-agentist of you! x

The previous leaseholders didn't have vehicular access to their Rockpool Café.

Burneside, I've corrected your post for you. -venom-filled +fact-filled Happy to help. x

P.S. The great storm happened on the night of the 4th.

Ssssshhhh, don't tell the Plymouth Mob, but ours isn't the only railway line in Britain that needs constant maintenance. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31113368

A man, James Luke MacDonald, has been charged with murder and is to appear at Exeter Magistrates Court tomorrow (Saturday). I hope it's ok to post this latest info on here, if you feel otherwise then please let me know.

Hi Carer. Long time no hear. The point here is that all drivers should drive with care and attention, whether they are professionals or not.

Thanks Lynne and Michael. I genuinely can't recall having seen any official signage before.

This erm, bijou pied-à-terre, was last on the market a couple of years ago I think. For a £1million less than it's currently on the market for!  Property inflation eh?

This photo was taken in 1948!

Great photo again Ziggy. :-)

Put it this way, I don't think that Swampy (AKA Graham Walker) is going to get his way!  "Occupy to enforce the law", indeed! To answer your question Roberta, Devon Tree Services say that the tree must come down to prevent danger to property and person, and so does TDC. So yes, it should come down.

Whilst I'm vehemently against the privatisation of social services such as care homes, it certainly does sound that an organisation such as Red Devon Housing are a morally decent compromise.

Just wanted to say well done to Roger for his 40 years public service. The recognition he's received in the local press is thoroughly deserved: Exeter Road Post Office postmaster Roger Honey is celebrating an amazing 40 years’ service with the Post Office. Mr Honey was presented with a 40-year Long Service Award from Gary Adderley, Post Office Agents Contract Manager. The 71 year old community ...

Great photo Ziggy.
