keep the minute silence if you want to - don't keep it if you don't want to, no-one can make you do it either way, it is your own free and personal choice - end of story

I think it's a good thing at least the site will now get cleaned up, It won't look such an eyesore, the children will have to attend school, and their will be some sort of accountability. They will get refuse collection and therefore not need to dump rubbish. As for council tax what about all these people living 11 months of the year in their caravans on Peppermint, Oakcliff, ladysmile etc etc no ...

@HuwMatthews - which bit was "illinformed"- her homophobia or her implicit racism?

@DJ , i didn't read the article, i did just presume it was about margaret thatcher. i've been publicly shamed and have learnt my lesson. Now having read the article and letters. Glenda is right to be outraged by a fellow politician, party chairman or not, sending her party BS, which can only be viewed as disrespectful.

Another Thatcher legacy - the wonder of free market philosophy.

12 months for threatening to shoot a bus driver, thats a bit unfair, every ordinary driver on the road has in their thoughts threatened a bus driver at some time. One of those cases were the judge should have considered public opinion. Being a bus driver is only one step worse than being a traffic warden everbody hates them. Thats unless you have a free bus pass of course.

Brazil, yes have seen u-tube video. We are all being conned.   By the way, Thatcher has died following a stroke.  I have no further comment to make on this.

I'll second that Ziggy!

Yep payday loans don't help anyone. A typical loan scenario. Borrow £400 for 3 months. At the end of months 1 and 2 you pay a loan charge of £120, at the end of month 3 (end of loan) you pay the loan charge of £120 plus the loan is paid back, £400. On £400 you pay back £760, but the worst part is that you pay £520 for the last payment. Not many people would find this helpful, most won't make the ...

Another report for those wanting to know how the seagull (victim)is doing especially the RSPCA who seem to have lost interest. Well the little fella has taken to the wing and is cr---ping merrily over my car.

I think the Langstone Cliff Hotel were very lucky to have a fire engine able to turn up as it seems some units were doing a Dick Van Dyke over a bloody seagull.

Teignmouth inshore lifeboat and Devon and Cornwall Police were ...

CCTV cameras springs to mind.

I was walking back from the library down the Strand, there were the usual cars parked along there. A huge beer truck came down to make a delivery but the driver had no choice but to double park. The Devon Council forman had to direct the traffic  ONTO THE NEW PAVEMENT for vehicles to get by this truck.  So i would think when all this is done there will be no parking on the Strand.

Add to the the mistakes so far the other carrier when built will be moth balled immediately and also there are only a few ports that can take either vessel. Total Bloody Class

The lead story in this week's Newton Abbot Mid-Devon Advertiser concerns a Mr & Mrs Haden who are social housing tenants in Buckland.
