What's to expose? He's been found guilty and will be punished. And so he bloody well should be. Shirley his prosecution demonstrates that the "system" is not untouchable? Thanks for sharing the good news with us. :-)

To answer your questions in turn: 1. Yes. 2. No. 2. No.

A COMMUNITY association has been given £25,000 to help young people struggling with spiralling debt. Teignmouth Community Association has been given the sum by high street bank Barclays to help people understand more about financial management. The cash boost is a welcome lift in a week which has seen major banks go bust and others hatch rescue plans amid a gloomy economic outlook. The money ...

DAWLISH youngsters could have access to a state-of-the-art youth centre costing around £750,000 if new plans are given the go-ahead. Dawlish Action for Youth want to build the 'Rolls Royce' of youth centres, including class rooms and training areas, at Sandy Lane. Plans submitted to Teignbridge Council and recommended for approval, incorporate a facility for vocational learning. Planning ...

In light of postings by other correspondents on here in the last 24 hours, shouldn't this repetitive SPAM be posted on the Notices forum? My opinion is that it should be, what do others think?

Good point ZIGGY. I'll post news on there and if I have an opinion on it or think that others might have an opinion on it, only then shall I post it here as well. Cheers. :-)

Crime has dramatically plunged in Teignbridge. Over the last three years, offences have dropped by a massive 20 per cent. In 2003-2004, 4,769 crimes were recorded, but in the past 12 months the figure was down to 3,728, smashing a government target. The Home Office gave Teignbridge a target to reduce crime by 15 per cent and the challenge was co-ordinated by a community safety team. In the ...

For sale on ebay at the moment is an original postcard showing the view from the Royal Hotel in 1907. It's a wonderfully evocative image and one that I heartily recommend you take a look at.

Dawlish Town climbed to the top of the Toolstation Premier League after a 3-1 Sandy Lane win over Ilfracombe Town. Teenage striker Joe Bushin, signed from Liverton United last season, bagged a brace which took his tally to six for the season. Antony Lynch put Town one up and, even after the Bluebirds levelled, it was the home side who continued to ask all the questions and it was no surprise ...

Copy and pasted from: http://www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/news/Celebrations-2012-flag-hoisted/article-287707-detail/article.html Flags were raised around South Devon on Sunday to celebrate the hand-over of the Olympics to London. Torquay, Dawlish and Dartmouth all hoisted flags after London's mayor Boris Johnson received the official flag from his counterpart in Beijing during a spectacular ...

Copy and pasted from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1049096/Bill-Oddie-How-I-spent-Seventies-making-lost-time-losing-virginity-spreading-wild-oats.html I have been keeping bird notebooks - sort of birdy diaries - for more than 50 years. Every now and then, I re-read what I wrote long ago, closing my eyes and re-living the experience all over again. I am now looking at the first ...

I hope that everyone enjoyed the Bank Holiday as much as I did. A fabulous but hectic afternoon and evening on Saturday was followed by a more relaxing Sunday. We were unable to have a picnic, so we opted for a lovely lunch at a riverside country inn followed by a brisk walk along the river bank. Monday itself was a very long day - exhausting but very worthwhile. If you've never been to ...

Thank you for a thoughtful, intelligent and insightful posting Don. The sentiments that you express within it will certainly be taken on board by myself.

Well, I think you've had long enough to think up an answer Dullish Roy. So come along then, who would you replace Y-R with? That's a perfectly simple quesion, I fail to understand why you are avoiding it and why you'd rather throw around personal insults against a fellow member of our forum.

Dawlish Town went out of the FA Cup last night after being beaten 3-2 at Wimborne Town. The hosts scored what proved to be the winner in the third minute of extra-time. The night had started so well for Dawlish, who took a 15th minute lead via a superb header from Derek Fields. But the hosts were level by half-time and, within five minutes of the restart, had taken the lead. The visitors ...

Mental hospital patient Sticky O'Rourke has apologised for "frightening people" when he escaped from Langdon Hospital in Dawlish last week. O'Rourke, 35, who is also known as Terry Powell, told the Echo that he would never hurt anybody and knew it had been wrong to flee the secure unit to visit the graves of his loved ones. Concerns have been raised about how easy it was to escape from Langdon ...

I'm really surprised that more people don't use the local, regional and indeed national train services and would be extremely disappointed if this paricular service was cut in the way that the letter writer suggests. The last time I had the need to travel by train (when I went to the Eden Project), because there were 3 of us it only cost us £8 each Return. It would have me cost more there and ...

How bizarre! See you tomorrow kids, I've got places to go and people to see. Play nicely whilst I'm gone. Oh, and if anyone has any news, please feel free to share it. Or any straightforward questions...

Finished 0-0 yesterday, a tough replay in prospect at Wimborne on Tuesday night at 7.45pm. Well done to the Wimborne keeper for two fantastic penalty saves to keep his team in the biggest Cup competition in the world. The winners of Tuesday's game earn £750 prize money and a trip to Western League First division side Odd Down.

I'd also heartily recommend Rod & Bens Organic Vegetable Box Scheme. They're based at Bickham Farm, Kenn and can be telephoned on 01392 833833. For truly local organic food, you could also try paying a visit to K Partridge at Duckaller Farm on Port Road on the edge of Dawlish - or phone them on 863132.

I completely agree with the original poster on this thread - what a fantastic week that was! A fitting tribute to 40 years of effort by so many hard working people. You are all heroes and you all deserve a well-earned rest. For a short while at least!

A NEW leaflet packed full of information about the Exe Estuary was launched yesterday and is available from Tourist Information Centres in Exmouth, Exeter and Dawlish. The colourful leaflet is a guide to all of the recreational activities available on the Estuary and where to find the clubs and organisations who can give advice and help local residents and visitors get the most out of the ...
