Your local occupational therapist is probably your best call they know everything, ask council or doctor for the phone number.

08 DAYS TO GO Sponsored 5.6 Mile Walk - Saturday 08th September 2012 @ 10:30am Welcome, we are now 8 days left and nerves are jangling. As you can see a whopping £359.50 has been raised but due to rules issued beyond our control it actually is less. HMRC stipulate that no business can gift aid, only an individual so if you wish to sponsor please do so but place your home address on the form. We ...

Photos now added (=|:-)

@ Phillip.  A bit late I know but here's the climax of the duck race.  Steward and duck-catcher looking on dutifully as ducks jostle for position at the line! !

Don't forget that it's a blue moon tomorrow night.  And for Lon Chaney Jr fans of a werewolf inclination don't forget also that ....... "Even a man who's pure at heart, And says his prayers by night, Becomes a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, And the moon is shining bright" (Wolfbane is out on Haldon Moor now!!)

Fredbassett, my mother had a saying 'think before you speak'

Tradesmen have been reported calling door to door offering services for repairs to the owners property, or telling the occupants that they have inspected the property and work needs to be done. It seems they are targetting mainly the elderly. The police have advised anyone who feels the work needs to be done, obtain at least two other quotes from reputable tradesmen. 'Teignbridge Council has a ...

The swinging of cats comes to mind, tiny little wooden boxes at highly inflated prices. Still far better than the affordable option and the import of Exeter and Newton Abbots drop outs

@Lynne .when water is back on,run the cold tap for about 2 minutes,and the reddish hue should have gone.

Would that explain my lack of water supply do you think?

Whilst a lift isn't needed at Dawlish Warren platform, its a shame that Network Rail (or First Group) don't have the finances for a pair of lifts at Dawlish.

These courses are open to anyone wanting to learn real self-defence or anyone wanting to become a Level 1 certified instructor. To become a certified instructor you must complete all five courses. However, you do not have to take them all in one week, or in order. Each course is approximately 8 hours.

Cool. Thanks. Condition is excellent, super comfy but well loved ;-)

And that reminds me that I saw that the site that's currently home to the infamous Sunburnt Arms is up for sale for something like £480K (or thereabouts). I overheard in a cafe yesterday that the owners allegedly turned down a £750K offer for the site about 4 or 5 years ago. Life is full of "if onlys" eh?!!!!!

Hi Cara. Why not download any pics that contain what you think are pictures of family and send a picture with story to the Gazette? You can do it online. Even post a few on here. Other ways you can reunite camera with owner, email the camera manufacturer (UK Office) and give them the serial number, and if the person has registered the camera, they will have the records. Have a lovely day.

Maybe its been switched off with the amount of complaints!!!!

from DCC's website: "Another outstanding year of exam success at Dawlish Community College For the third year in a row Dawlish Community College have achieved their best ever set of GCSE results with some big improvements on the excellent grades achieved last year. This is particularly pleasing given that the national picture is showing that results across England have decreased. The headline 5 ...

I would guess there will be a bit of back stabbing now, health & safety, planning. The new boot fair has to attract people so thats why it's free entry and cheaper for sellers, but the sellers prices will probably go up once established. The good thing is its good for the public (cheaper), good for sellers and best of all the money goes to childrens hospice. Brilliant

Well there you go then! Just about the right figure to pay for half of the road - the other half coming from the 1000 odd houses which WILL be built along the new route. Teignbridge must know that this will happen already - they should come clean about it.

You tried to visit all 4 of these public toilets in one day??  Your name is George Michael and I claim my five pounds.

lol I don't earn 150 Lol

Home now, and letter states "..... at times that cause least disruption"

Hi Chef, When cooking rice Long grain I soak overnight Basmati soak for about an hour Rissotto for 20 mins Wild rice i don't soak at all, as I like the crunchy nutty taste Is it possible to buy wild rice at a reasonable price? as this is my preferred option.

Northerner as you have stated on another thread that you earn in excess of £150,000 a year maybe you should frequent a private members club where you can express your snobbery. Leave the average drinking holes to us average people.

This message relates to Police Log No. 261 of 22nd August 2012. It has just been reported to us that an intruder was found in a property in the Elm Grove Road area of Dawlish this morning, 22nd August. The householder was visiting a neighbour and had left the front door to the property insecure. The male was described as being a white male, 5ft 10ins tall, in his 40's, stocky build with short grey ...

Blues Brothers crossed with Village People crossed with Billy Ray Cyrus!  I don't want to kick a man who's down, but will someone please call the fashion police! :-)

I had lunch at 10 Green Bottles last week, and have to say was very impressed. The food was superb. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I will deffinately be going back again.

A suspicious male who was believed to be attempting pickpocketing earlier today was reported to Dawlish Neighbourhood Police. The Lawn is very busy and crowded so keep your belongings close to you. If you notice any suspicious activity dial 999 and notify the Dawlish Carnival Marshals.

Need to hand over to people who really care about the carnival not themselves

I too feel terribly, terribly sorry for the poor old art dealers!

As promised to some people I met today, here are some classic recipes for mackerel Ready to make use of all those mackerel that will be caught tomorrow at the Carnival Competition I'll be there trying to catch some for my supper, hope to see some of you there at 5pm !! https://www.dawlish.com/article/details/116

If you want TDC to enforce in the future use past to direct future 106's and make TDC have the 106 implemented prior to any development this would solve your concerns.
