Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, welcomed a group of seven high school students to its Exeter HQ as part of National Airlines Day to experience a glimpse into the world of aviation.
The invited students were from St. Peter’s C of E School in Exeter, Sidmouth College and Maiden Beech Academy in Crewkerne, all of whom won the opportunity to attend this special event during this summer’s hugely successful Big Bang South West in Exeter, an careers’ day for schools which highlighted opportunities for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths careers.
New research from Devon-based Lightfoot, the maker of the world’s first technology to reward better company car drivers, has revealed that 12% of drivers are citing stress caused by work as the main reason for accidents, with a further 12% pointing to phone calls made during journeys, and 4% highlighting urgent work emails as the chief cause of their accident.
With a quarter of drivers stating that they have been involved in an accident or collision going from or returning to work, or during a work related journey, the findings show that there’s still a long way to go before work-...

*Warning: Graphic image* Only joking! Despite its gory appearance, this “brain” is actually a scrumptious Victoria sponge.
Made and donated by the kind, and incredibly talented, folks at Ullacombe Farm Shop and Café near Bovey Tracey, this deliciously devilish brain cake is going to be auctioned off to raise money for local people with brain injuries.
The auction will take place on Headway Devon’s Facebook page on Wednesday 30th October, so that the lucky winner will have their terrifying treat in time for Halloween. Bidding will open at 10am and close at 3pm.

Nothing brings smiles to people’s faces and gets them talking more than thinking about the not-so-distant past. If one thing is certain in life, it’s that things that were once popular will come back into fashion – and our love of retro has certainly proven that to be true. Whether its fashions we thought were condemned to the history books or sounds and sights that send us down memory lane, going retro provides a breath of fresh air. So, how is Exeter bringing it back old school and giving us a blast from the past?

Flatbed trailers are used for many diverse purposes. This style of commercial vehicle, since it is not enclosed, does lend itself well to less size-specific hauls or loads. This includes but is not limited to over size loads (housing and cars), equipment loads, and for many companies, waste removal and garbage loads. Since many companies are restricted in the dumping of waste materials to certain landfills, any type of waste or garbage, if there is a goodly amount, must be trucked to another area and dumped according to regulations. If a company does not do this on a regular basis, owning...
In a nutshell, the role of criminal justice is to control crime and impose penalties on those who violate laws. A criminal lawyer is a professional who will help those accused or suspected of doing this and they play a fundamental role in representing the defendant throughout the trial.

In an effort to learn more about perceptions and knowledge of Canadians, the Department of Justice conducts a survey every year. The most recent findings...
