The Lawn
1 Aug 2014

I am not a lawyer but... If a man were to expose himself on the lawn I think it would be considered sufficiently 'pervey' to justify calling the police straight away. In the case of a woman, most right-minded people (i.e. those not delighting in encouraging/making sport of her) would think she is in desperate need of help - in the first instance from say a community support officer - or ...

As they say, you cannot make omlettes without breaking eggs and I thought everything was on a tight schedule before autumn storms kick in. Defies all reasonable logic really, you would think that self preservation would be even a selfish person's top priority. Can anyone clarify the type and/or size of anchors size being used? Am thinking they have to be reasonably beefy ones? Am not ...

@roberta - good thread started, shame it's ended up being another 'muddied' one. To get back to the point of the thread, it seems a 'no-brainer' to me.  Surely to goodness it must have occurred to anyone buying a property along this stretch of seafront in the last 150 years that they were taking on a certain amount of environmental risk in return for the priviledge of being in 'pole position' ...

Another example of what should have been removed in my liberal opinion was the 'Dawlish Violence Thread' which I simply couldn't believe had been allowed to stay.  Spoof or not it reads as incitement to hate, misogny and violence, so no excuse that it is 7 years old, that just makes its lack of removal even more damning. Having said that, most topics are interesting, local, and helpful and ...

elvis, @Andysport - your two names would immediately spring to my mind as having receiving totally ott comments on threads.  interesting to see some 'post removed' at long last, which given the stratespherically high threshold normally applied to doing so i can only dread to think how bad those may have been.

...and horrendous hailstones in S.London.  I'll give you one good guess where the sewage goes when the rain is torrential...it's designed not to follow it's normal treatment route...so let's just say it may be worth thinking about whether swimming is such a good idea straight afterwards...

Perhaps this might be the solution http://www.sundayworld.com/top-stories/dog-owners-in-deep-doo-doo-if-they-don-t-bin-it-on-clare-beaches As highlighted for jocularity in Radio 4's 'Have I got News for You', this tannoy system is claimed to be 'motion-activated'.

No views on what is potentially the most significant infrastructure investment in the SW since I don't know when, or is February 'so yesterday' now that the sun doth shine?
