I would tend to agree with MS that next to the bowling green is inappropriate, the calm and tranquility of bowls and the play and excitement of our children perhaps not the best neighbours. So childrens play area on the boring golf area  but could I suggest an outdoor sturdy adult excercise area between the stand and the bowling green instead. I have seen these now in many countries whilst on ...

Also, there are many of our more experienced, senior, skilled workers who have not been able to get on to building sites due to the current constraints around CSCS cards which for some require apprenticeship or NVQ which after 30+ years of doing and running some of these jobs is and has been an insult. So, most of these individuals have either changed occupation, gone into early retirement or just ...

As a small example, when say us and france take part in a EU funded project, when drawing expenses e.g. for lunch and both french and english worker bought a £2 pack of sandwiches, english worker can only claim £2 as per english LG rules but french worker would claim around £13 in line with their LG rules. So not only paying in more but not getting a fair proportion out aswell, individual ...

I'm so pleased for all concerned that it appears to be going really well at Powderham, I wasn't interested in going and have had an equally lovely time in and around Dawlish on a lovely day(still wondering when Pirates Chest or whatever it is called on the seafront is going to open though but that's another thread!!).  I'm just insensed fredBassett with a little pot and black going on, no doubt ...

I recently commented about the many occasions when our sea front cafes cannot be bothered to open on a fair weather day why on earth should we be bothered if they don't get a bumper pay day at the Big Event. I'd agree that I'm not happy that our money was given towards this event, but apart from that I won't be losing sleep over it, it's what it is and it'll soon be gone and forgotten and I hope ...

I refer back to Lynnes post at 06.58 today, I think it is a little harsh to think we are blaming everything on immigrants, looking at your comments we have some choices here, vote stay, leaving things as they are knowing from current experience/evidence that our schools and nhs will implode,or 1) kill off our elderly earlier, 2) stop people from having babies or 3) kerb immigration. I don't think ...

I have to agree with with FredBassetts first few lines. It really does concern me where the EU is looking to go with the future inclusion of Turkey and others and if there isn't a stop now, then I can only see a continuing downward spiral. I do wish DC had negotiated better in respect of us either being able to close our borders for a few years to enable our infrastructure to be shored up, or at ...

Is Dawlish open!!

Nice walk to the Warren this morning but no Red Rock or viaduct cafe open and it's a bank holiday! We're local so don't need to be buying a coffee in the town but sometimes it's nice to when you're out and we like to support local businesses. You would have thought this year especially with no air show that traders would be trying to get as much business as possible, there were several people ...

Thanks all, have now looked at it

The link doesn't appear to work? Only I was looking for more details as I had a strange caller this week in the same area who seemed to panic and make up a story about did someone else live here when I answered the door.
