Ok, how much are you paying?! I have done some of my best undercover work in the garb of a tree or privet hedge. You should see my impersonation of a Christmas tree.

Brilliant post, thanks and keep us informed. Where's the new website? By the way, isn't the name 'Dawlish Black Swans' a bit....homosexual. Why not call yourselves 'Dawlish Black Murderers." ? ...You are negroes I presume...niggers? You're not just a bunch of fat white boys who have playstations and have drunk too many fizzy drinks are you?

I agree. What shall we - as an unstoppable community force - do about it?

I have got a hundred large brown paper sacks for my Dawlish Mom, as I think her having to wrap up rotten maggoty food waste in the Daily Telegraph is undignified at her age. Are brown paper sacks ok for the binmen? There's no staples in them.

Problem is traversing the Lawn laterally from one pub to another. The number of people i've seen wizzing in the Brook and shatting on the bowling green.....

Tesco does not put up prices when local shoppers , migrate to Tesco and put any erstwhile local profiteers out of business. Stop spreading such untruthful propaganda! What you don't know you simply make up ! Its a free country and they should be allowed to participate in the market.

I part-own a plot close to Haldon Terrace. The residents there are unwilling to permit a modest development in the normal way, so it might be ideal for the council to acquire it to build flats for the homeless. I will get in touch with Mr Robinson.

I got hit by a car outsie the football club in 1974 and spent 10 weeks in hospital. But it was my fault, and the fact that kids run into the road is no reason to pedestianise the world.

Of course Tesco pays local rates ! It also employs young people for whom there are precious few jobs. As for the dribble that the original poster comes up about how polluting it is to drive to the supermarket - what unmitigated nonsense. Its a free country, and the OP is the authoritarian that he/she professes to be against. If he feels so strongly about consumerism, let him/her go and live in the ...

That must be the all-time most inappropriate use of a cliche! Before long, any 65+ male living in Dawlish is dressed in drag and walking alongside the carnival shaking a bucket of copper coins. Dawlish - hub of elderly transvestites and transexuals.

Check out this new charity shop in Queen Street. Its the best one in the area, its for a good cause, the prices are the lowest around and the girls who run it are nice. My wifely Empress made a donation of a bag of her clothes last week before we returned to the Orient.

I think it says a lot for this forum that it allows you to publicise ad nauseam a putative rival. Given the free speech available here, and the likelihood of heavily-moderated pollyanna-ish propaganda on any site named 'ilovedawlish'.....I shall be staying right here. I can imagine your rubbish topics... "Dog shit - good for your roses" "Seaweed - what a charming fragrance" "Torching playgrounds - ...

Its such an easy solution. The bowling green, an amenity for 0.1% of the town, should be moved to the Manor Grounds. The plot can be used for a play ground. You've had the plot for years old folk, and its never too late to learn, so how about learning a whole new word:- SHARING. Move aside; you selfish old c**ts.

Having had the opportunity to wrap up maggoty banana skins and mildewed bread crusts, I can only conclude that you guys must be nuts ! Why tolerate this bunkum? You should be voting out any councillor who imposes this nonsense on you. If you got paid - even 10 pence - for your recycling, then okay, fair play, but you don't get a farthing. I have lived for several years in the Third world, and I ...

Is there adequate wifi coverage in Dawlish for laptops? Is it free? (i.e unsecured access) Thanks

yes, but what are your views on a) Dog sh*t b) The carnival c) Somerfield d) The amusement arcade e) Disrespectful young people f) Rancorous old persons

Stay in Dawlish, buy a house. Get a quiet job. I know people who did precisely this after leaving school. They now have far greater net worth than me, and i've been busting my hump all over the world for the last 20 years.

For someone who claims not to like Dawlish, Mark spends a lot of time on this Forum. Often replying to his own posts.

Clearly some kind of quality control is needed. Not censorship, but just weeding out the ... "sgispghspoig - yaroosh, yog yog," ..i.e the illiterate stuff. It is important to focus on the real issues. 1) Dog pooh. 2) Over-sexed old age pensioners. 3) Corruption in the town council. 4) The scarcity of charity shops.

...they don't count, they're not human. Ditto for the cellulite-based species occupying the Somerfield check-out.

I like the Arrows but the Utterly Butterlys really are drivel. I realize the 'celebrities' pretty much underwrite the costs by fund-raising, which then entitles them to have a jolly day. Though I personally consider that charitable fund-raising that is partially used to finance an individual having a laff is tantamount to fraud. Mainly though, the UB fly-past is lousy, ...and pointless. Who wants ...

Have mixed feelings about Dawlish in 2006 following my visit last week. 1) Riff Raff There's an area of about 100 yards radius around Somerfield where on weekends the most ghastly detritus of humanity wash up. I presume they stay in caravans in Dawlish Warren - tattooed, surly, yobbish women with their brood of social security supported kids. 2) Shapters Its up for sale. If this was acquired by ...

Has there been any further news on this topic?

I lived in Dawlish for 21 years and I don't know how to do long division.

I always enjoy coming to Dawlish to sea defeces.

I remember playing on the beach when there were none of those ugly sloping sea walls. Eeeee it was nicer then.

Planning on coming to Dawlish soon and wanted to meet up at the Smugglers ! Looking forward to British beer.

Haven't you gone to Exeter yet? Whats the problem, property not shifting in Old Towm Street? There was a nice house for sale in Marine Parade - GBP 250,000. It was in that agent at the beginning of the High Street. (Can someone go and check if its still available pls) Is anyone writing letters about dustbins to the Gazette this week?

My instincts tell me, that is a lot. Dawlish is really nice, but come on. The developer is taking all the profit upside off the table, and more besides. People buying must have balls of granite.

I like to re-read all the messages again and again and again. Especially the funny ones. Eg mine. So all those 'views' are just me going down Memory Lane.

I'd say it was Lee Cliff Park, Dawlish Warren. The place I spent my first days of life. (Up to age 9 1/2)

Thay could have had a Live 8 in Dawlish bandstand, with that guy who held the World Record for playing instruments (unless he's dead), ...and possibly Dawlish Operatic Company singing the Mikado. Has an African person ever been to Dawlish?

There's a huge tree in the grounds of Powderham, that I think is the beautiful perfect tree in the world. If you go down the road alongside the estuary you'll see it. I wanted to photograph it this time, but the light was wrong.

Anyone know any nice ones, preferably sea front-ish. Solarzoom !

When I used to live in Dawlish - the idea of being posted to Bideford or Barnstaple - it would have been like living at the end of the world. Now I do live at the end of the world, I haven't really modified that opinion. If it was cheap there, then yeah I would consider it. But its expensive too. Porlock is nice, so is Combe Martin, Lynmouth. There's another place....is it Dulverton? Dunster? ...

Look at some of the architecture. I daresay the best days of these places was 200 years ago ! Must have been smart then. Dawlish = Teignmouth = Exmouth = Newton Abbot Torquay and Paignton - both tatty now. Salcombe, Dartmouth and Topsham are chic, but look at the prices there - yikes.....especially Salcombe.

I'm not a great fan of Exeter either. St James, Heavitree.....its all tat. Druggies round the bus station. Though there is something underpinning prices - i.e an economy. University towns always have a good vibe. Salcombe is 400 k for a flat ! The reason its pricey is...yachies. Ditto for Dartmouth (not sure about Topsham - but it has a nice harbour). > Ok Shaldon could be a good bet - its ...

I daresay this is probably the sole survivor in Dawlish hotels. A lot of my childhood was spent hanging upside down in one of their fisherman's nets suspended between two trees.

I'm going on holiday to Dawlish this year. I'm psyched. I'm going to chase the ducks, and go to Somerfield bargain corner Takes me 30 hours door to door to get to Dawlish

Is this permitted in Dawlish? Having seen some of the common-looking trollopy chavs outside Somerfield, I feel a need for a slappin' coming on.
