I agree with the posts. If you haven't opened your council tax bill make sure you are sitting down.

I must admit the report on here and in Devonlive paper suggest that the reastaurant is going to close. My Wife and I have been there many times and have a good relationship with the owner. Feeling disappointed I just called Chi and spoke with the owner and they are the freeholder for the property.  The restaurant is NOT going to close. Whatever they have planned the owner stated that they have ...

Did any of you happen to watch spotlight Friday night about the Air Show being held in Torbay. They reckon 125 thousand people will attend and briing in 7 million pounds into the local community. Torbay had taken over 4 years ago when we lost ours here in Dawlish. What a brilliant day they must have had today.

Thanks for sharing, I see the usual drinking club are enjoying the sunshine.

Well, it would appear that i was wrong about the black bin pick ups. Had an email from the council informing me that the next pick up is June 1st due to the bank holiday. Last pick up was May 17th next pick up June 1st. Upon checking the pickup calendar I was wrong, apologies.

Mobile phone found at Lea Mount on Friday. Call 07502 812464 ask for Martin

This is what would happen to the new proposed play park.

Anything is possible DEE but you have to admit the town is a mess. I walk my dogs and if i happen to forget poop bags I go back and get them, mind you there have been occaisions that i have forgot but gone back out to pick it up.

Lynne, can't have it where the piazza is as you will need the approval from the smackheads and drunks.  And they have the approval from the police and Teignbridge council to be there.

I"m curious does anybody in the town have to put up with ASB? And for any parents reading this do you know where your teenage kids are during the night time hours? The new protection order has had some effect with the druggies and dopeheads, but now it appears there is another issue with teenagers hanging out around the happy hut area.

That's because I'm not there. I do hope you all are calling the 101 number, remember every call that is logged is read from the top down and lands on Joe Mathews desk in Newton Abbot. Not to worry I will be back in 3 weeks and I will be on the phone and emailing the respective people. The 101 number personel and Joe Mathews know I'm a pain in there rear. It's so nice to be Stateside again.

I agree with what you say, but a squeaky wheel will get oil sooner or later. The email address's for the relevent contacts are listed in this post just keep sending email's or calling the 101 number the police will soon get the idea IF enough people call or send a message if you have problems in your area. Don't let Dawlish go down the toilet, I know some would say that it is already.

No, I can assure you that a long prison sentence or dead......

To DogsRGR8. What did you see wrong with my post that I would want a medal. I was commenting that now I have a puppy It is more obvious that a lot of people do NOT pick up after their dogs. In fact walking up the Strand yesterday there were two big piles of poop on the pavement outside the travel agents, of which had been walked in by some unsuspecting person. Thanks Flo.

1263..... That is bloody hilarious.

I had just finished watching about glorious Devon. You can even search for other locations as well. Find the town or city type ...

While I'm in the USA in the town I used to live called South Riding Virginia, and taking a walk this afternoon in glorious sunshine I came across the local bandstand and thought that would look great in Dawlish. However I was having problems posting the photo on this site so it's now on Facebook Eyes of Dawlish. Strange no comments..............

It's a shame really. It is without a doubt laughable event to be honest. But give them their due they do try.

I heard on the news a couple of weeks ago that there was a water company ( not sure which ) that wanted to put up their prices. The Government stepped in and stopped the intended raise. So why can't they do it with Electric companies.

Fred, I totally agree with what you are saying, however this has been going for years at restaurants/hotels anywhere food is served. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in Dawlish, it would be curious just to ask that question.

I can reccommend ( Sean ) at ( SJC AUTOS Unit 6. Mannings Yard near Sainsburys. I have found him to be honest reliable and polite. 01626 889009 or 07739 455269 www.sjcautos.co.uk

Hey, Brazilnut I'm going to send it to my address book friends in the USA. THEY may not get the humor but I would think it would apply to any country. The only word I think they may have trouble with is "KNACKERED" LOL............

I was walking back from the library down the Strand, there were the usual cars parked along there. A huge beer truck came down to make a delivery but the driver had no choice but to double park. The Devon Council forman had to direct the traffic  ONTO THE NEW PAVEMENT for vehicles to get by this truck.  So i would think when all this is done there will be no parking on the Strand.

Thank you for confirming for me.

Thanks, but i don't think i could get a difinitive answer as it's very complicated. As it pertains to UK and US pensions.

I would be Interested in hearing more !

Ok you can all stop replying to the blog that i put on this site a month ago or more. I'm sure there is more to talk about than this old blog. Don't know why it keeps appearing. Thanks John.

Happy 12/12 /12 everyone a date you wont get to see again. John

Hi Jan, Sent text message 9:42am

I'm looking for a cherry or rosewood regency double pedestal table with additional leaf(s) to seat 8.  Need for Thanksgiving....... Thanks John

Hi Jos, finally got on this site, it's great. Evey asked me to remind you that pumpkin pie is normally had at Thanksgiving, but what the heck 4th of July sounds great. Be back to Dawlish in two weeks. John and Evey
