Just seen 3 dead seagulls together in the road on the North Shore, very odd, were they poisoned?

A suicide pact? Poisoned chips?

it's very odd, they didn't look like a car had hit them, more like they were dumped there, it was holding up the traffic!

Hope they belong to the happy gang who wake me up at 4am and earlier every morning!

Please let them be part of the seagull Riverdance troup or the seagull synchronised swimming team (if it's been raining) that perform on my dormer every morning from about the same time.

The Lloyds Bank Cashpoint is still out of action, must be two weeks since it was damaged. Surely it only takes a few days to send a new machine out and install it?  :rage:

 ;) Why don;t we ask each block of hotels on the Promenade to adopt the flower beds infront of each block then we may get to Eastbourne;s standard,ok it lets CCBC off the hook but they don;t care anyway so what;s too lose. :roll:

Two large vans with adverts on the side, sitting on the prom in Rhos, advertising events in Llandudno.
Methinks the Llandudno area should be content with the numbers they already have.  :-*

Things have come to a pretty pass when the flower displays in Rhyl are way ahead of Llandudno's:

what about a free circular bus services - hop on hop off - like the one's operating in Manchester

Missed this earlier.  We had a hop-on, hop-off bus service: Arriva tried one with open-top double deckers for two years, and eventually gave up on it, because it never made any money. Never been quite sure why it didn't work.  Possibly the concept needed better explanations, or perhaps the weather for the past three years hasn't been the greatest for travelling on open top buses.  But something is needed. Apart from anything else, you need to separate traffic and pedestrians.  However, any innovatory scheme is going to require investment, and that's rather thin on the ground just now.

The problem we have is not getting around - it is more where to park all the cars!    ZXZ

That was an overpriced tourist tour, though, rather than a transport service. It was far too expensive for anyone to use it just as a means of getting from A to B. A free or low cost (all fares £1) bus service operating at 20 minute intervals would be a different proposition.

Yes - I think they got several things wrong on it. But a modified, lower-cost version might have been very useful.  As you say, any public transport system has to run frequently to be of any real use.

We were in Liverpool last Friday for the centenary celebrations for the Royal Liver Building and the opening of the new 'Museum of Liverpool' so decided to use the Hop-on Hop-off bus before we returned home

It was only £6 for an hour tour of the city and as our tickets lasted 24 hours, we went around for a second time and got off to see one or two attractions.

There is always going to be another bus coming along every 20 minutes.

Liverpool has become an excellent destination for day trippers especially down on the Waterfront.

Something Llandudno could learn a lot from.
