Poor chap attempted suicide. The chopper brought in paramedics who treated him, then an ambulance took him to hospital.

Terrible, who knows what was going through his mind on such an otherwise lovely day!

The A55 is closed in both directions at Dwygyfylchi due to a police incident.

It has also been closed westbound since teatime on Rhulallt Hill because of an accident.

Re: What's Llandudno Like Right Now?

There is a fire at the rear of Wells Fitness in Oxford Road.

A fire engine was just going down Argylle Road when we were coming home.

I had dropped in to Sir Roger Mostyn Court off Builder Street and the smoke was quite black.

I did not stay too long with a Paint and Decorators Retail Store being in there.

During the mid-fifties, my grandparents lived in that white cottage next door to Mr Patel's shop and I can remember motor cars regularly coming through the railings at the top of their steps.

BREAKING NEWS.... STOP THE PRESSES!!!

Today, I went to Llandudno Swimming Pool and Gym,   and other than my training session and swim, NOTHING HAPPENED!!

Everything passed off without hindrance, delay or obstruction,  this is a milestone in my life.

Ian,  did you not receive an 'out of office' message?

In reply to my email, I got a bounce back, saying Peter Aldous is away from the office until next week.

I will give him a few days, and then re-send if I haven't heard anything.

Nothing at all.  I'll be following it up, however, and was nattering about it to a CCBC person only yesterday.

I copied Dave R on my email to CCBC, regarding the Swimming Pool,  (I know we are on the wrong thread BTW) .... 
I would share the detail with you personally,  but don't want to post it here (yet), as it may pop up on other local sites before he has had a chance to address it.

That's fine... go ahead Dave... I just didn't want the detail bandied around before the guy had a chance to read and respond to it.
You understand about the need for fair play,

Llandudno is featured on Iolo at 7pm this evening on BBC2.

I think it maybe a repeat but still well worth a watch.
