Dawlish Man's Posts

The original message is just a form of SPAM for the website in his "signature" at the bottom of the message. Ignore him and don't click on the link would be my advice.

I've only ever had one pint at Lee's Bar and to be fair it was decent enough, however it's not really my kind of pub. I agree with JW that the Welcome Inn has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, though I still prefer a stroll to Cockwood if we go out for a drink. Or over to Turf Lock or Topsham if Mrs Dawlish Man is driving!! :)

Cheaper than the Starcross ferry I'm told.

Other than that, it sounds like you had a great time. Now, about this £1500 parking space...

The pea brains are the ignorant bigots who voted for him. His putting himself up for election was nothing to do with having balls, it was all about self-publicity. In fact, just like his soulmate Peter Harry. 82? The Monster Raving Loony Party would have got more votes than that! What time's the next slow boat to Buenos Aires? Adios Sharp...

Excellent news! Let's hope that the weather is kind for them.

Is it true that this is going to be knocked down and turned into apartments? What with Lee's Bar soon to disappear, that would leave the Welcome Inn, Boathouse and the Mount Pleasant as the only pubs in the Warren.

How much did they pay this elderly landowner?

Happy Easter! Every year the power goes... Grrr.

You have to agree though that it is a bit smelly down Old Town Street.

It's a shame that I have to be at work. Thanks for the info Lynne.

Er, thanks Donald, I'll bear that in mind in future. My birthday is on the aptly-named glorious 12th. MATRON!!!

If the Seasiders manage to win the replay against Gresley next Saturday, they will travel to Northamptonshire outfit Long Buckby in the quarter-final.

A warning has been issued about not picking (and more specifically) eating any cockles that you may find washed up on the beach. This particular species of cockle is not edible and may be toxic. It must have been a really strong high tide on Saturday night as I've never seen so many starfish and shellfish washed up on the Dawlish Warren spit as I saw yesterday morning.

Interesting point. Who do you think should it be up to?

Because of that sticker (one is also displayed in their Teignmouth shopwindow), I took my business elsewhere and had my tattoo done at Electric Ink.

That always infuriates me too LOL! It's not just taxi drivers though - far from it in fact. It's usually the older generation (you know the sort, the ones who wear leather gloves whilst driving LOL) who lack road manners.

Soooooooo, the Seasiders are through to the 4th Round of the FA Vase for the first time since 1990/91, after a thrilling 3-1 win over Brockenhurst, after extra time. The draw for the last 32 of the competition is later today, so bring anyone on! Well done Dawlish - I only hope that we can repel the advances of Dorchester Town for our crown Jules!

Not Dull, just Dullish.

A new casino and an arts cafe could form part of the multi-million pound regeneration plans for the 'dying' town of Dawlish. The blueprint, which will be unveiled next week, includes 36 proposals to regenerate Dawlish and the Warren over the next five to 10 years. Proposals include a casino, a new enclosed pavilion with an arts cafe, a high-class restaurant overlooking the railway at Tuck Plot ...

Does anyone know if there's a Christmas Panto taking place in Dawlish this year? I'm not a fan of those panto's that have z-list celebrities in them, and much prefer the traditional panto's that are put on by local theatre/rep companies.

Everyone associated with the town of Dawlish should say a big THANK YOU to John William Matthews, who bequested in his will the princely sum of £8,555 to go towards the project to refurbish the waterfowl enclosure and aviary. Thanks also to the two local councils for putting their money where their mouth is.

WORK is about to start at the waterfowl enclosure and aviary in Dawlish to protect the breeding ground of the town's famous black swan. It is hoped the £47,000 project at the Brunswick Place site will start next month. The cost of the eight-week project has been supplemented by a capital expenditure grant of £2,000 from Teignbridge Council and a bequest of £8,555 from local resident John ...

A NEW 10-year action plan to conserve a popular Dawlish tourism and wildlife spot has been revealed. The scheme, which will come into effect next year and shape the future of Dawlish Warren, goes on public display this month. The Dawlish Warren National Nature Reserve Management Plan 2010–2020 outlines the vision for the future of the area, including measures to maintain, protect and enhance ...
