Hi - anybody know if The Coffee Pot kiosk on Cayley Prom has changed hands?

Is the 'pink car' as Hugo calls it still there?

Nemesis,  I've been there a couple of times recently but the pink car wasn't there.    The first time I went there an eastern European chap who served me and the next time a black guy did.   Both very nice guys and the same girls were working there but I don't know if the business has changed hands.
If it has then I can only wish the previous owners all the best as they were such lovely people, still don't like the colour of that pink Fiat though

FWIW, we've just spoken to Nino who has flatly denied he's retiring and called it a "nasty rumour"  :-X :-X :-X
Odd how behind the counter in the cafe is now full of Happy Retirement cards then...  ?{}? $cofffee$

It won't be long before Odstone is demolished as I was going past at noon, just as the crane was arriving

Yes, i've always thought of Odstone as one of those quirky landmark buildings that really added to the character of the Colwyn Bay area.

Hello everyone

Sadly, Odstone is no more. I drove past last night and the bulldozer was standing over the site.

Are there any photos online of the interior? Cadw seem to have found it disappointing, and did not support listing.
