So according to 007 anyone unfortunatley enough to have been made redundent or lost thier job, and under the present ecomonical climate have little chance of finding another, should be given vouchers. I was in that situation two years ago, and used to sit and have a coffee in a cafe or two in town. I had been in employment all my working life (10 of which was with HM Forces and included 3 tours of ...

Thanks for the replies on this everyone, all sorted now, Neil has very kindly given us some very suitable boxes which are a great help, so many thanks

Yes we have to admire Tesco for being so honest and admitting they don't care about public opinion and going ahead and building more and more stores at every opportunity, despite ongoing campaigns making it obvious they are not wanted, of which there is a long list (check out the Tescopoly website). They even have the audacity to have said at a recruitment meeting they visited for local unemployed ...

Perhaps its gone for a refurb. After all Sooty and his gang were looking a bit thread bare in thier confinment. I reckon that its gone up to Yorkshire to the Sooty museum in Shipley to live out the rest of its life in retirement..

Most of the large supermarkets pay more than the national wage, and offer part time or short hours to suit those working for them, UNLIKE many LOCAL shops and businesses that only pay the national minimum wage to thier staff. Local bar work is at minimum wage, local shop work is at minimum wage any work in the local tourist industry is at minimum wage. Perhaps one should look at local employers ...

This is a very interseting fact, I was only discussing the subject the other day with a friend, who told me he had just painted his fence said he had better go and watch the paint dry. The topic was also raised over dinner with the family last night, where my daughter ended up face down in her fish fingers and chips making snoring noises, my wife said she had to make a phone call to her friend at ...

Or could it just be a safety issue? With construction traffic turning into the construction site and inustrial area, most of which are 8 or 6 wheeled tipper trucks which need larger turning area , any on comming vehicles need to be ready to slow and stop. A drop in speed limits are usual near construction sites. Why do some people seem think speed limits are money making scams and not actual ...

Well done Michael.

This is typical of public transport. We are often told to use public transport instead of our cars, but they do nothing to help. The ticket office is often closed during daytimes and ticket machines are often not working, How can we get our ticket before we board?. The early local commuter trains consist of two carriages, and with kids going to school and people going to work there are never any ...

The actions in the middle east are from many years of having the same dictators running those countries. Here we have the option of changing our dictators ever four years, even though we the peolpe choose to keep the same ones. Thats what we do. Those people of Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia etc did not have that choice. As for those complaining about the governments actions and bringing them back home, I ...

"Not good for the sweet shop owner that has been serving the public of Dawlish for the past years" Perhaps if they serve the public with similar produce that Thorntons sell, then there wont be a Throntons comming. To be honest nowadays who wants the contents of those plastic jars,( ok I do get my self a 1/4 of those peanut thingies that I used to get as a kid every now and again).

I hate all christmas sweets, bar humbugs. Merry Christmas all

So we must feel sorry for those students who have to pay a couple of quid a week for the rest of thier lives to repay the education they recieved if they get a job earning more than an electrician, who would have to work about 60 hours a week to earn the 35 k? Try telling the my 22 yr old neighbour who spent hundreds of pounds buying tools, books and stationary while learning to become an HGV ...

If its been there for a long time how come the estate agents havent tried to sell it as a compact dwelling?

Wow, your so humourous, let me get my sowing kit to stich my sides back up. Move over Jimmy Carr Dawlish has a new comedian, his humour and wit is outstanding, the one liners are just fantastic, mixed with his self opinionated, egotistical bullshit hes as funny as piles and migrane mixed together, but my pea sized brain cant keep up with the meistro of mirth. Hale the master of bollocks and ...

Dont mind the fair comming early, after all they do have to set up and make sure every thing is safe for the users, but does there really have to be a dog show???? Damned critters pooing everywhere is enough of a show.

Not just the old bids, knob head, lots of young mums and dads with young kids use the service.

Wasnt it £2 a pint over the winter months? Not sure about it though, never stopped in for a pint to see.

Not the first time a train driver has forgotten to stop at a local station, my lad was stranded at Torre a few weeks ago after the driver fogotten to stop there. How do big organisations like rail services keep getting away with things like this.

If you dont watch it then how can you possibly comment on it, or do you just take for granted what the media write or what your mates tell you.

No not me mate, but I was thinking of sending a happy snappy in to the comp, If I win we can share the steak and chips

When a law is passed it must have guide lines made by the enforcing body. This lets people know what the law is about and how to stay with in it. If it states that you must not park in certain areas or pay to park in certain areas, it must give guide lines on how to do so. Hence size of lines, possitioning of lines etc. So if those that make the law cannot stick to the law they make, it will ...

Keysham, Bristol, Reading, Sheffield, Doncaster, just to mention a few that have free parking for the first half hour in certain car parks. If they and others can do it why not here. It works in other places and stops the parking on double yellows while short visits are made. Simpley press the machine button that says up to half hour and hey presto a ticket emerges. Like anyother timed parking if ...

Yes I agree that those that took enjoyment out of blood sports have had thier sport banned, and yes they are sick bar stewards. But in reality it has given the fox chance to expand population, expand into urban areas, to use its killer instincts on domestic pets and commercial animals (ie chicken coups and animals used as tourist attractions). Now that hunting with dogs is banned the only way to ...

My 21 year old didnt have a clue how to vote or who to vote for. Mrs Woodbine and my self collected as much information on each parties policies and also gave him the web sites to look at and let him decide whats going to be best for him in his future and his younger siblings future. Very reluctant at first to be wasting his time on this, he did get a small interest after a while and made up his ...

OK dont do it again.
