Can you trust a man who 'feigns' the promotion of youth when he runs his business on disposable, non-contract, young people? Can't see much investment in Dawlish youth there.

Further to Joey's reply, there are also two duplicate bridge clubs in Teignmouth and one in Shaldon. Teignmouth Bridge Club meet on Friday afternoons 2pm at the Alice Cross centre. They provide a host, which means that you can go along without a partner. The second Teignmouth club meets at Richard Newton Hall at 6.45pm on Mondays. Shaldon also meet at 6.45 on Mondays and meet at the hall next to ...

Did you see the Lib Dem Political broadcast on TV 17th Sept? I cannot believe they used actors as people they interviewed on their opinions on the country. That seems wrong to me, why not find 'real' people?

Could someone give me the web site for the propposed plans for the Dawlish Youth Centre. From what I have read there is going to be a youth centre and a new community centre and perhapes that is where the confusion is regarding a bar and disco. As for a drug/alcohol abuse centre I think this would be a good idea giving the amouont of drug users and alcoholics in the town. My children although ...

This web site can be viewed by anyone from anywhere in the world. Nice to know that I have friends in USA, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa who read it on a regular basis. They thought that the way Dawlish Town Council treat those that voted them into office were more in keeping with Zimbabwi, China, North Korea, etc, and not by the so called democracy that we supposed to have here.

There are currently signs along Dawlish seafront warning swimmers not to enter the sea from Dawlish to Coryton because of sewage contamination. The signs seem to have been amended from reading 'from Dawlish Warren to Coryton'. Does anyone know any more about this?

Foodies were pitted against celebrity chefs in a kitchen cook-off for a cash prize. Bethan Donnovan, 26, from Dawlish, and team-mates Cherif and Lucy Elzik from Exeter, cooked up an Egyptian-style storm in a BBC2 programme Step Up to The Plate. The programme, on BBC2 at 4.30pm today, sees the South Devon food lovers test their culinary skills to the limit as they compete against celebrity chefs ...

0845 no's cost 2p per minute from a BT line.

Devon General was government owned in the 1970's. News to me! no matter, I am talking about what went on before that date. Devon General had been providing a longer distance, county wide service since 1919. In 1947 Exeter Corporation agreed with Devon General to jointly operate some routes within a ten mile radius of the city to prevent unnecessary duplication. (that was when the amalgamation ...

With the money spent on the useless CCTV system we now have, we could have bought a 30 acre field with the same money, (three times the size of Sandy Lane playing fields.) Now that would be of considerable benefit to all in Dawlish for many, many, many different activities. What have we now? A field where activities are being packed in like sardines in a tin. And who do you think should be getting ...

Some of us have been trying to warn others of the dangers of accepting things at face value. Others have been trying to rubbish the warnings, for reasons best known to themselves. I would like to inform Don, That once upon a time, agenda's of the meetings held for Dawlish Town Council, where placed on the web site in their entirety and once upon a time members of the public could address THE ...

THE final phase of a scheme to prevent another devastating flood at a Dawlish Warren residential park has been given the go-ahead. Eight years ago, about 100 people had to be rescued by RAF helicopters and coastguards using inflatables, from Hazeldown Park, now Beechwood Residential Park, after the Shutterton Brook burst its banks. The water rose up to six feet and it was a major emergency with ...

To all you lubbly drinkers out there, run along to the mount, I have heard he is fallin on ard times, and now that the charity coffers are on de wain theys be lookin for others vays of muckin a livin.

Could not agree with you more Lord Flasheart. I have been trying to give good advice for years and most of it if not all of it has turned out to be the correct advice. Trouble is, people tend to believe some twat in a stripped suit and not some beer swigging bloke in a pair of grubby overalls. Drug takers, alchofolics, singers and comediens have a lot to say about what is going wrong in society, ...

THREE people were taken to hospital yesterday after being involved in a head-on collision at Kenton. The driver and passenger in a Toyota MR2 and the driver of a BMW suffered suspected broken bones in the incident on the A379.

Viaduct, Perhaps he's been shot by a Civil Enforcement Officer who thought he might being going to park illegally, Don (Frivolous Sunday afternoon version)

BRILLIANT YOU HAVE JUST PROVED MY POINT.

How can the truth claim he loves Dawlish when ignoring this important subject? We own him......

Look, to be honest with you Dullish / Roy / User 4549 / Lord Flashheart, I think that it's great news that my friends on the council, the Rotary Club and the Round Table have all made a fortune out of the deal to build this here youth centre. In fact Dullish / Roy / User 4549 / Lord Flashheart, the drinks from the bar in the corner of the first floor of the youth centre are on me. What's your ...

Thank you for that Joey. This is a genuine enquiry.

What has happened to the Computor shop at Piermont Place? I see there is plenty of mail on the floor.

There is a bed and breakfast place at Dawlish Warren called REDROCK. It is full of sh1t and you get charged the earth. Macdonalds food bar, and ken tuckers chickenleg dishes are better, even the Warren chippy can knock spots off their grub. But put a bit of shine on the place and foreigners think it is the bizz. I heard it is about £800 a week high treason, sorry season.

I think he's using me to avoid your questions User 4549. Dullish By the way Truth......do you find that people patronise you? That means talking down to you..........

Could someone please tell me what estate agents are telling their customers now? Whether buyers or sellers.

ATROCITIES of the Second World War were brought vividly to life for a group of South Devon veterans and their families during an emotional trip to Normandy this week. The Normandy Veterans' Association is on the French coast to mark 64 years since D-Day, and their visit to the Caen Memorial Museum turned out to be too much for some. While many of the veterans, proudly wearing medals on their ...

First of all - there are some that say we are stuck in the 19 century, nothing wrong with that, is there? Others say we need to change, do we? Others are advocating bringing in supermarkets, if I have there thinking right, it will bring more business to the town, will it? I say - we need change for the better, but not at the expense of ruining the quality of life that Dawlishonians. Why do others ...

In light of postings by other correspondents on here in the last 24 hours, shouldn't this repetitive SPAM be posted on the Notices forum? My opinion is that it should be, what do others think?

Good point ZIGGY. I'll post news on there and if I have an opinion on it or think that others might have an opinion on it, only then shall I post it here as well. Cheers. :-)

Dawlish mayor Cllr Wally Protheroe said: "The new footpath will improve the quality of life along Brunswick Place for residents, businesses and visitors, and will help facilitate short term parking in this area." What about the quality of life for Dawlish residents who will have to contend with drug addicts/alcoholics in their town passing on their habits to their children, because of Cllr ...

Viaduct not able to get the link

ditto

Bit like you and Lord Seb Coe

I apologise if I am being dense, but the news report makes no mention of a drug/alcoholic centre close to that incident. It does not either add to or detract from an argument against such a centre in Dawlish.

Great place to be Don, when you want a bit of peace and quiet.

23:00 - 01-September-2008 TWO environmentally conscious friends from Dawlish are behind a new venture which is being launched in Topsham on Sunday, September 14.
