boot strap bill's Posts

One of the places which realy surprised me was Deli Delicious on the strand .....one star!!!

@Vanguard whilst I welcome your comments and clarification on the points I mentioned , I moved to Dawlish 10 years ago and I still find it hard to believe that a decade later the station is still an eyesore, if the repairs had been done at the time surely the cost would not be as high today, and as far as the old signal box again that has not been touched since the day I arrived in Dawlish and to ...

oops spelling mistake meant good not could

what happened to the red arrows,not as exciting without them

what a shame this pub has resorted to live music,its one of the last old fashioned pubs left where you could sit and chat without shouting over the music.I feel sorry for the residents who live there!

Lol it's called Planking not Flanking!

On reflection on the above topic, and if Sainsbury's will be the end of Dawlish town centre, I would have to agree with Lynne, Dawlish needs to reinvent itself......so what does Dawlish have to offer to date? 1. 10 pubs 2. 5 charity shops with another on the way! 3. 2 betting shops 4. 3 pharmacies 5. 1 supermarket 6. 1 butcher the list goes on..... so in my opinion Dawlish needs investment and ...

I have to agree with stevej about the current uprisings in the middle east, I have worked out there and seen the poverty, so its not surprising when people start to rebel against these dictators who have hoarded billions away whist their people starve and suffer, after Libya who's next?, with regards to rebellion in the uk now that would be a sight! however I don't think it would ever happen and ...

i understand that the police were out in force at the railway inn beach street.. i wonder if drugs were involved?

i just thought i would mention that the exeter inn is closing its doors for the last time on january 30 it will be a sad day for one of dawlish's oldest pubs.

when you consider the lawn is the centre piece of the town, how about getting rid of all the alcoholics and drug users that seem to have taken up residence in the shelters, mind you that would probably violate their human rights, also the lawn itself needs investment, and the band stand knock it down and build a decent one, like the one that used to be there.

I have to agree with this comment Dawlish Man seems to have a chip on his shoulder the size of...Dawlish!, this person is incapable of been polite or courteous to anyone who uses this forum, instead streams abuse at all and sundry, as I said in a previous comment if you find it a struggle to comment or put a sentence together please feel free to leave and find another forum to dispense your verbal ...

i will have you know im boot strap bill...the one and only!

Double yellow lines are there for a reason, if you are unsure check the highway code, and for your information I have driven up brook street many times whether it be cars or vans are always parked there and you have to mount the pavement to get past....simple solution don’t park there!!

I have just heard that the last cygnet has been found dead,it is believed to have been a fox....

Talking about cars parking on footpaths, a good example would be upper long lands the footpaths are always blocked with cars and vans forcing people to walk in the road’s I am not sure if these roads would be classed as a service road or a highway? Some clarification if anyone knows would be appreciated. I suppose if it was a highway it could have double yellow lines?.

With reference to parking in Richmond place please be aware that from what I have been told they have re-painted the double yellow lines outside Stewarts, so if you park down there will be no appeal that is of course they have done it properly.

From what you have said the only thing I can conclude is that they have either reinstated the double yellow lines or the parking warden is completely oblivious to the road markings but then again he could be on a bonus system and hope nobody appeals. If anyone who has received a pcn for parking down by Stewarts...APPEAL NOW OR WITHIN 14 DAYS AND TAKE SOME PHOTOS!!!

Ok people of Dawlish I would like you to nominate the worst road in Dawlish whether it’s down to chronic parking, potholes, etc... my own personal nomination is hatcher street as it resembles an army assault course.

I have heard recently that the Exeter inn is now under new ownership by the landlord of the railway inn beach street.
