Totnes, Devon

Totnes is a smallish (pop. circa 8000) country town in the South Hams district of Devon, SW England. It is the place where - allegedly - Brutus the Trojan set foot and gave his name to Britain. It is consistently voted one of the funkiest, grooviest, hippest places to be, but don't let that put you off: normal people are welcome here too, although you may feel out of place at times.
Fridays and Saturdays are market days throughout the year and there is often a flea market (if you collect fleas) on Fridays. On Tuesdays during the summer, you can experience the delights of our Elizabethan market, with its fine selection of authentic, Tudor toilet roll cosies.

This site is mainly for the people of Totnes, but others may use it at their own risk. The information contained here is no more or less reliable than any you will find elsewhere on the web, but at least it is spelled correctly.

Totnes MP Steen has snout in the trough too...
According to more revelations in the Telegraph Totnes MP Anthony Steen lined his own ample pockets from the public purse to the tune of £87,000.

The Telegraph reveals that "Over four years he claimed £87,729, including payments for tree surgery, guarding his shrubs against rabbits, maintaining a separate cottage and overhauling his private sewage system. In January 2005, items on Mr Steen’s claim for £13,742 included £2,858.94 for leaking pipes, £1,755.89 for fixing the water supply from the “spring and bore hole”, £1,318 for a wrought iron fireplace and £597.14 for lights."

Mr Steen said he had not claimed for mortgage interest. The MP added: “I shall be meeting the scrutiny panel established by David Cameron next week. If they believe I should repay any sum I will do so.”

Yes, Mr Steen - pay it back - and while you are about it, how about a full apology to your constituents for being such a grasping parasite?
