Yorkie, I have been pondering this.
Based on this well known assertion,  I have decided to challenge you (or any Forum member) to a duel.

The venue will be Maesdu Fields,  and I will choose the sword.   Thus giving my opponent wielding the pen, an immediate and mortal advantage!

You do realise that the challenged might email 30 of their mates - a mix of ex-bouncers and Royal Marines in training - to meet you before the bout, thus neatly proving the assertion?   WWW

Or the popular AK47 Biro?

Mail Online have picked up my visitor centre story. And also seem to think Conwy/Colwyn Bay are one and the same thing.

Well, it is the DFM, after all.  The regard in which they hold their readers is exemplified perfectly by the map with the huge red banner proclaiming 'Colwyn Bay' pointing to the same name on the map itself.

  Lots of things happening in the Porth Eirias car park (sorry Yorkie. Little room for your car---only joking). A nice small hotdog catering van, five portaoosa large mobile public address system, a nicely sign written van and trailer with some energy drink which I had never heard of. It stated prominently that it was alcohol free. I instantly lost interest, I don't know why.
   Lots of banners, cones, barriers, signs stating cycle route and arrows towards old colwyn, lots of fairly large cones out to sea.  It's all about to happen. Or so they hope

'The Eirias' middle distance triathlon is being held at Porth Eirias today, they must have been setting everything up for that.

I thought councillors are meant to represent the public, I doubt if you will find a single person who would support wasting another £400,000 of OUR MONEY on this huge white elephant better know as The Skip!  &shake&

I've said it before and I'll say it again, what it needs is for a few thousand of us to march on Bodlondeb, harass our Councillors, get some Petitions going and generally let them know what we want, and more importantly, don't want.

I will support any action, but am now a bit too long in the tooth to organise things.

Do not think that any Councillor will pay any attention to things said on this Forum or the insulting language they receive from some other Forums and Blogs.   Actions speak louder than words!

The Councillors have no intention of allowing more money to be spent on the kitchen, no matter what the officers recommended.
Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.

I never said it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.
