quote
| - "When I was a boy living in the middle of Exeter, our local bobby, Geoff Barnsey, became a close friend of the family. His mother ran the village Post Office in Poundsgate, on Dartmoor and we spent many a hot summer's afternoon swimming in the icy waters of the Dart. Geoff's mum was the first to tell me of the local saying "River Dart, river of Dart, every year you claim a heart"—a saying that even today still contains a tragic grain of truth." (en)
