@1263 It could've been, no doubt that's what they had hoped for.

Have to pop down and see them, they had some nice quality garden tools and chainsaw's last and at a pretty good price considering they looked almost brand new. I believe they will even source gear for you if it is not currently in stock.

They ask for the opinions of the town's folk and always do the  complete opposite as long as it can waste as much money as possible and continue the rapid downward spiral of decay to the town, in my opinion. Observations over the past 20 odd years living in Dawlish.

Does that mean they will fix all the large pot holes or just put signs out for them to avoid falling in. I assume it will be the latter knowing anything todo with Dawlish, unlike Newton Abbot and Teignmouth.

Chaos erupted in Devon as two major fires broke out within around 15 minutes five miles of each other. One witness said: "That fire near Dawlish is in the direction of Duckaller Farm.
