BOO HOO's Posts

Always enjoyed going shopping in Newton Abbot in the past although todays visit was an eye opener. The number of shops that have closed and the prices in some that are open made my eyes water. ASDA, a shop I used to love to shop in the past has now sky high prices for a majority of there items from what I could see. The high street  pedestrian walkways have been extended so that their is only a ...

I pray that Trump and JFK Jnr get to Jan 2025 to get into office. I would not put anything past the Sloppy Joe administration to stop him being placed as the next President of the U.S. With the exec orders he will activate on day one. The big corps and many organisations must think the the end of the world has arrived with Trump and the the other 3 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. For the rest of us ...

Improve water quality really, they mean improve profit margins and dump more waste into the sea more like.

I do not know if it is just me but for nearly 2 decades I have been able to open my windows for fresh air during the winter time. Although this last couple of years with the installation of several wood burning stoves in houses around me and one next door all I get is a stench from these fires and it gives me a sore throat. Also it stinks the house out as well. Anyone experiencing the same issues ...

Watched two humans, do not wish to say what gender etc as I might get in trouble for mis gendering them and end up in jail for a few years, they had pressure washers with the tiniest brush heads I have ever seen in my life. They spent more time chatting to people than actually working in my opinion. Talk about 1) a waste of money, 2) why not just pressure wash the entire side walk instead. Would ...

Anyone interested they have one in the charity shop in Dawlish near the co-op for £50. Absolute bargain. Very sturdy tripod from an excellent manufacturee. I would have bought it myself but low on funds at the moment. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/590219-REG/Manfrotto_526_545GBK_526_545GBK_Professional_Video_Tripod.html New they go for about £1,600 ...

@1263 - I think all councils have contracted the same mysterious ailment that has infected Westminster in that they ignore any issues that arise from their decision making with impunity in my opinion. We are just seen as lowly peasants whose only use is to supply a workforce and pay taxes to our overlords as far as I can see. As long as we do that and do not protest our anger then all is well with ...

I spoke to a chap a few years ago and he said as a kid, many decades ago, they use to wear chest high waders and go into clear the Brook. Well that would certainly be deep compared to the average of a few inches below water now. You can actually walk across the brook in places literally to the other side and not get your feet wet. In todays political world everything will cost more and more for ...

@The Observer, oh dear! people are a sad shadow of what they were back in my day. As to you thinking clowns made people smile and laugh. I assume the answer to that is yes and no, take it whatever way you like.

So Reform get just over 42% of the votes Labour got, but Reform get over 400 seats less in the election. If the election had been under proportional rules Reform would have got over 90 which would have been a better representaion of the peoples feelings. As long as we have first past the post we will always have a merry go round of the same old two cheeks of the same arse with the same old poop ...

Flyer for a person I have only seen once in the 20 years I have been living in Dawlish came through  the letter box today. The first thing struck me was below her name in big block capitals was 'Fighting for Newton Abbot'. I though she was the m.p. for Teignbridge as a whole! during her terms. The second item on the front cover was 'Keeping Banking services open'. Although in Dawlish all 3 banks ...

Reportedly around £70k to £80k to decorate the outside of the Manor House, but no funds to replace the footbridge!

Went down to have a look, if it had not been for the big tent on The Lawn I would have thought it was just a normal day! Well done in putting so much effort into the celebrations Yeh.

When will the sheeple come to the realisation 99.99% of politicians only have one setting and that is to LIE, DECEIVE, BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND FOLLOW THE PARTY INSTRUCTION ON WHAT TO VOTE FOR AND HOW TO VOTE, in my opinion. Anyone who believes we are living in a democratic country is under a sad illusion of reality. The only vote that will count, in my opinion, at the 2024 general election is one ...

E. V!

Or may be ask them if they know where kids are getting it from!

Poor loves. I had some niggles with my Rolls Royce Ghost, although that was £223k, I do understand  their pain.

Perusing through Companies House I came across this interesting titbit: Dawlish Airshow Ltd Company number 07210463 Unedited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 The account has £52,006 in Share holders' funds in it. Is it possible we could have another Dawlish Air Show this year condsidering the money has just been sitting there ?

https://airpower.nationalgrid.co.uk/ Operates out of Bristol Airport. s t Under the charge of Accountable Manager Robin Tutcher, the team operates out of a specially constructed hangar and offices at Bristol Airport. Trolls need not comment, thankyou.

£79,000 to refurbish exterior of The manor House, Dawlish.

• Socioeconomic Collapse: Rapid and drastic measures to achieve carbon neutrality could trigger widespread socioeconomic disruptions, including mass unemployment, economic recession, and social unrest. Industries heavily reliant on fossil fuels, such as energy, transportation, and manufacturing, could collapse without adequate transition plans in place, leading to widespread poverty and ...

I like the way they say sevral roads!!!! They do not enforce the current speed limits so how would they enforce a 20mph blanket limit? In my cynical view they are merely doing as they are instructed by the lunatics up the chain that goes all the way to the W.E.F. Call me a conspiracy nut job, but I saw through the scamdemic early on and do not have that experimental vaccine swirling through my ...

Scamdemic in my opinion.

Certainly a lot of water has come down in the last few hours. I have never seen the fields around {Aller Hill) on the ford and near Aller Farm so flooded. It has pushed the pony and 2 horses very close to the wire fence. Hopefully it will drain soon. Poor image quality due to the weather conditions, but gives u an idea.

(but not on footpaths/pavements) Well from the number of vehicles that DO park on footpaths and pavements I thought it was legal and ok. learn something new everyday.

I doubt anything will be actioned other than the sea wall request. There are a lot more issue on the social support level that needs addressing, but that won't happenany time soon, if at all. based on the previous 2 decades of slow spiralling decline of the area and economy, in my opinion.

Why on earth do we need all these new houses in Dawlish! It's not like they have been built to house many of the less fortunate local people. Which I believe was our snidey governments reason to build millions of new homes around the country in the first place. Not exactly giving much to the green agenda either laying waste to thriving ecosystems and farmland whilst building sub standard ...

@Lynne - uhm!

Teignpot, troll. so saaaaadddddddd. Get a life.

Dear me, it's like been given a choice of apples but they are all moldy.

Supposedly the CO OP was broken into last night, but the coppers did not even turn up, I suppose they had better things to do!

Pics looked better before uploading to the site. Were 5 meg but reduced to less than a meg in size. Still u can make the moth out.

The reason why Dawlish.com has so few participants these days.

An emphatic NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Truss will say anything to get what SHE wants. If you trust what a politician says then there is no hope for you!

Do what my neighbour does and just chuck it in the alley. I have called the council numerous times over the last ten years and fock all happens.

Same old pigs at the trough mentality by the warped sense of worth many in higher management have about themselves even when everything around their little kingdoms is falling apart. Usual over inflated packages for those who parasite of the back of those who can and do. Nothing will change whilst those in power are not as accountable as the level us peaseants are held accountable in our daily ...

Well done and respect for your hard work picking up the litter. Should get a one off payment from the council for doing their work for them. I for one in Dawlish am less than happy with the ever decreasing services that I am having to pay £2657.91 in rates to Teignbridge Council. I am aware of the breakdown of the rates and who get's what percentage, but where have so many services gone!

Nice size plot, I expect it will be snatched up by a developer to build on. Doubt the house and grounds will be there for long. Also it states in the Dawlish Gazette that it has planning approval for an additional four bed building, although no mention of this on the Teignbridge planning site! £1,200,000 sounds a bit excessive considering it's in Dawlish. I can think of a lot more affluent places ...
