Where in North Wales will you find this rotting edifice?

Now if you'd have said Trefor Pier, I'd have said you were spot on!  ;)

I've spelt it phonetically!   F =  v.  I searched for North Wales rotting wooden pier and there was a mention by the Trefor (sp) diving club about the state of the wooden section.  Powerful stuff this Google!    ZXZ

    Was it really necessary to Google to find out where this pier is?  Just think along the North Wales coastline.   
   Actually I dont look at this thread very often because I think searching on your PC is taking all the fun out of it   Mike

Is Trefor Pier open, and safe to walk on?

No, locked up.  Definately very unsafe.

Each man to his own.  Without the fun of searching I would never have got the answer in 100 years.   As it was I still had to hazard a guess.   It's OK for you locals!    ZXZ

Sometimes I can be looking for hours, and during that time I also gain knowledge about the area, so it is also educational!    :P

I knew the answer because I was able to recognise Llanddwyn Island and Anglesey in the background but that's only through local knowledge.  I have used Google before and you can spend some time on it and learn a lot in the process.
I do try to post questions that can't be googled and use Welsh sometimes to make the answer not so obvious as I know that Yorkie's on the trail.      $good$

I have never used Google in my life.

In fact I have never heard of it.  ;)

    O.K., apparently googling doesent always take away the fun. However, here is a question and I doubt very much you will ever get this answer from Google.
   A few years ago, in the days before Station Road in the Bay as closed to traffic,a large "obstruction" arrived at the Conwy Road end of Station Road effectively making it impossible for any traffic to enter. It was there for five or six days and nights.
   What was it and why was it there?

Well, it is about time you looked up "Fester Llandudno" - there are about 250 pages about you, Bradford, the Emporium and lots of stuff I just dare not repeat on this Forum!   _))*   _))*   _))*

Well, I did as you suggested, and other than a few threetownsfum posts which mention me, and a Motorhead forum post, I could find nothing which concerns me personally.
