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?

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.

Have a lovely day.

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

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.

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.

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.

Did you buy your slush puppie from one of the fair wagons? If so just remember when you take your children to see Farther Christmas at the Christmas Market in the Strand and they get a free toy donated by David Rowland you would have paid for it via your slush puppie.

What a shame that NONE of those who made a speech at the carnival opening yesterday had the decency to mention the passing of Helen Humphries, who in recent years, was probably the best Mayor that Dawlish has had.
