Arrested on 'commom assault', what about the alleged kitchen knife!

Dawlish is on the decline, in my opinion.

A car meet? How grown up. 

What a wonderful town this is becoming. 

Why are two people on this thread assuming that these car meet chavs were from Dawlish?

Following a search of the area a 24-year-old man from Bedford was arrested on suspicion of common assault.

WHO said anything about 'these Chavs' (your words) are from Dawlish?

No one.

My remark is about the people that this town is now attracting through certain activities.

What activities are you talking about Calamari? 

These chavs have their pathetic car meets in lots of different towns. Their activities say more about the chavs than it does the unfortunate venues. 

Why are people quick to say that Dawlish is going downhill? I grew up in the Midlands and Dawlish is not even close to going "downhill" 

Compared to 1985 when i arrived here it has certainly gone downhill.

Has it actually gone downhill or is it the advent of social media and 24 hour news. I was a teenager when you moved down leatash and it definitely wasn't perfect then, just not as publicised.
