Wealth Where?

Isn't that what'll happen anyway as part of their electioneering campaigns?   I doubt you'll be able to escape from them. Edit -  found this from 2010 election. Shame they're not still available. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00sb34t

Dawlish From Above

Another from 1928 from the same site (probably better from the link). http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/image/epw023661?search=dawlish&ref=11

Are there any notable writers/artists in Dawlish?  How about creating a modern day 'fairy story' incorporating past and present, fact and fiction, good and bad.   Self publish as a beautifully illustrated book, donate some to local primary schools, sell in local shops, put it in the museum and hope it's still around for generations to come, or at the very least as a memento of a memorable year. ...

Just saw it on Spotlight (including the unfortunately captioned 'Breaking Wind').  Looked like the path splits into two at Lanherne, one strand running along High St to Costcutter.   Be interested to see what they can do along that road other than install a green stripe.

Uh oh,  here comes the cavalry. OP said  ' Hopefully the selected photos will be more than the usual tired clichés such as Black Swans on the brook'. More than doesn't exclude them.  You and your sister  seem to struggle with the English language. It's a fair point.   Lovely as they are, Dawlish should have more to celebrate than just the swans.

Yes, your paranoia seems to be leaping off the screen at us!

Actually Burneside, I think you're putting the cart before the horse.   Mrs C's real identity would inevitably be revealed if your allegations of libel were to be pursued in the first place. It is possible to defame a pseudonym but it's a complex area where in the final analysis damages awarded would have to make it a worthwhile case to bring.  A cat fight on Dawlish.com is not going to go ...
