      Cheers Pam - Yes, a pleasant day for a Newton Wander - On Friday, I go to a different part, so all good - Fish & Chips were 'OK' - But a junior guy on his first day, made a bit of a mess of the order 😥& while I was offered to have it made again, I didn't have time to wait - See you tomorrow 👍👍👍

    That was a good update Bill thanks. The autumnal colours on those trees is fabulous, what a glorious sight😻. Presumably the semi pedestrianized road is all part of the drive to kill off the car😿. 😺

      Mum said the exact same thing about those trees - Considering she can only really see shapes and colours, she said they looked nice & suggested getting some planted in the triangle - If only it were that simple! I think the road stuff is more for the businesses that will be there in the future, over those that are there now 👍

      @BillsPhoneTeignmouth fair enough. Did you ask andy about the mod thing

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth
      @BillsPhoneTeignmouth  วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, not yet. Thought about it, but the thing is, a Mod is good for a rowdy comment section, where things need to be deleted or people banned, but I don't have that. I just have nice people asking me questions about Teignmouth, & things I have mentioned in older videos - Its just a time constraint for me. A lot of the questions are being asked to me personally, so I cant se how someone else would be able to answer them. But never say never - If I feel i need extra hands, you and Andy will be my first choice 👍👍👍

    For the amount of moaning on Facebook you'd have thought the council had dug Queen Street up and replaced it with land mines. It's already a much nicer environment for pedestrians and the landscaping hasn't been completed yet - previously it was a pretty grim, traffic-dominated street. Look forward to seeing the finished job.

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth
      @BillsPhoneTeignmouth  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree Pete. No one likes change - But whether or not its good for the shops or not, remains to be seen. Obviously, I have no dog in the fight, so I'm very interested to watch it all play out 👍👍👍

    Hi Bill, That was a nice stroll through Newton Abbot, I'm not really sure about the pedestrian area down Queen Street. I can't really put my finger on why but it doesn't fit well with me. I hope that you enjoyed your fish and chips. Was it curry night or was that postponed. See you tomorrow mate. 👍👍👍

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth
      @BillsPhoneTeignmouth  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think its because its really for the next generation of businesses as opposed to the current - Almost like an encouragement to fail? Curry night has been postponed for the last 3 weeks - Place was closed, but I did have it earlier tonight! Lovely 👍 See you tomorrow mate 👍

  • @andybyrne50

    Don’t know what to make of the new pedestrian part ,I suppose only time will tell and how many shop closures will come from it , I did notice one chain retailer with a closing down sale .

    • @BillsPhoneTeignmouth

      Indeed. I think its more intended for the 'Future' businesses, that move in when the current crop have failed... 😥😥
