Dave's right;  most of the 'instant riot' events (just add hot yobs) are bussed in jobs. Mind you, just to keep Nem's assessment of my sunny and optimistic disposition confirmed, remember Margate in '64?

Were you there wielding a bicycle chain, Ian?  8)

But two years later, most Mods had turned their attentions to the burgeoning, more laid-back, hippie culture.  ;)

Lots of facebook and twitter chat saying that the demo on the 10th is postponed.

Nice one Dave, Halewood Chains is a gang from my youth, if you watch LFC games you will also see a banner from my old pub, now sadly knocked down but the legend lives on, The Leather Bottle.

I suppose what I have seen this evening must be deemed an obstacle to tourism.

This evening, we enjoyed a family meal at the Afon Conwy on Glan Conwy corner.

There must be around 100 families of visitors staying in the Premier Inn next door every evening.

As soon as you enter the car park, there is a large Tourist Information display provided by CCBC with two large sections for advertising posters.

One is empty.

The other shows photographs of the top ten attractions in Llandudno.

The first photo is of a theatre and it is entitled the North Wales Theatre.

I believe it was renamed Venue Cymru in January 2007.

Who is charged with supervising this display and why isn’t it updated and fully utilised?

Yet another astute observation from a TTF Member, that will no doubt go unheeded, and a question that will also go unanswered.

Well spotted Bri!  $3towns$
