I new it would affend some people, but my comment was tongue-in-cheek. I have lived in both Bradford & Leeds, and also in Manchester. Leeds & Manchester are great places when you are a student. Bradford was a bit of a disappointment, but It was my first job. I now live in Plymouth, but I was born in Dawlish and do miss it a bit, until I visit my parents & friends & then I get bored!

It seems to me you lot need to get a life!! I grew up in Dawlish, and I wasn't exactly a perfect kid, but we never went round to Teignmouth or wherever to kick the crap out of everyone. I left Dawlish 20 years ago to join the Army and now Im a Bomb Tech on the Toronto SWAT Team. If you think its fun being a member of a gang then your well wrong.

Slightly more of a possibility ...

and what about the other shops in the town centre that aren't necessarily tourist orientated like; butcher, bakers, greengrocers, shoe shops, chemists, florists, Woolworths, 3 x convenience stores, newagents etc. They could all go to the wall and to be replaced with what?

I think the 'Ugly Ducking' name came from the fable by Hans Christian Anderson. I.e ugly duckling growing into a beautiful swan & Dawlish being associated with swans.
