Sad thing is,nobody has said if there was any news init today,so i suspect there ain;t.Now this is a new year and it  ,s the same old issues but why do we hear nothing about them in the LOCAL newspaper,Pier pavillion,lets have an update or at least go digging,what about WHY has;nt the Tudno Castle begun,surely one or two of us are interested,what about asking about the xmas lights,the empty shops,our famous BEACH is this not worth a follow up,how about the vanishing cycle path,omg there is plenty that might interest if they bothered to look into it or are they simply running it down and out of circulation,like another story Broadway you don;t appreciate it until its gone.

Some things are almost too sad for words...

Daily Post today:

The body of an 85-year-old woman lay undiscovered in her flat for three months - along with her pet dog.  Olwen Parry was found dead in the kitchen of her flat in Llandudno in March with the body of her beloved pet dog next to her.

The dedicated diarist had made her last entry in early January, an inquest heard. Nicola Jones, deputy coroner for North Wales, said: "The landlord said the dog had dragged his bed close to her.

"He was lying next to her and then the dog died as well."

Full story here:

Rather surprised to learn that you have a 3 in 1000000 chance of being killed by your toast:

Yesterday's Daily Post on page 13 included a report about a well-known local criminal who has committed hundreds of crimes and was sent to prison yet again.

The report included a very large colour photograph of the criminal.

Turning over the page onto page 14, there was a report of a 56 year old female called Marilyn who  has been missing for the past two months.

This report did not include a photograph.

Thanks for posting those news items Ian, one that really disturbed me was the young family walking on Crib Y Ddysgyl and the 7 year old boy fell 100 foot.
Thank goodness he survived that fall as many don't, but it's no place to take young children and especially if you are unprepared for the mountains

I doubt they ever will. Most seen to regard the Mountains as big hills, and if there's a track of any sort assume it must be safe. Not sure what the answer is, unless it's to insist on compulsory insurance. But how you'd police that I don't know.

Let me be the first to congratulate one of our members Thomas Davidson who was chosen as Young Journalist of the Year at the Wales Media Awards last night.
Well done Tom!
I never looked at the Daily Post before he came along but his enthusiasm for his subject makes interesting reading,
I only wish you were still reporting on our area instead of Anglesey though but your Twitter links are the first thing I go to if I want to know what horrors await on the A55!

Daily post and n.w.weekly news

  A word of advice to any regular readers of the daily post. If it's local news you are after, don't waste your cash on the n w weekly news. Because you will have already read it.
  I am a regular post reader. And I read it fairly fully. So you can imagine my annoyance after buying a copy of the weekly news. To find I had already read all the news items right up to page 32 of the weekly news. O.k. So maybe some very small news items might have been there. I didn't waste my time checking. But every large scale report had already been printed word for word in one of the previous six issues if the post.
  I guess they must be missing Judith Phillips who they persuaded to take an early retirement from full time reporting.

Whilst looking for new online about the Pier Pavilion, I was surprised to find this April 2016 article from Wales Online (part of Trinity Mirror, owners of the Daily Post and North Wales Weekly News) containing a photo I had taken of the derelict pavilion site back in 2010.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/business-news/llandudnos-pier-pavilion-cost-15m-11222354

As you can see, not only have they used my photo without permission, they have cropped it to remove my identifying watermark! Unbelievable behaviour for a large company..  &shake&
