Please don't judge Llandudno's society by what you see on this forum! As I've said before this forum doesn't reflect local opinion at all. The facebook comments on the story at the time were full of sympathy and understanding, where as everyone on this forum (apart from me) made Ebeneezer Scrooge look like a charity fundraiser!
Are you serious? What use are Facebook comments to that guy? I suspect the Facebook comments were more to do with people wanting to feel good about themselves at Christmas - how many of them did anything tangible to help the guy? At least forum members have the courage to post their honest opinion, rather than one that they think will get them the most Likes.

Took a walk out to Angel Bay, on the Little Orme today, and to my surprise there were at least a dozen seals frolicking about at the water's edge.  It was great to see.

I have to admit, I never knew that seals came here in the winter months, as I only ever see them bobbing about off Llandudno Pier in the warmer months.
You were there about 30 mins after we were! I've never seen so many seals down there. Will post a photo later.

There are 14 seals in this photo, although you may not think it! Some are very well camouflaged.

I hope you got the approval of a seal!  ;D

I didn't watch it but I've read a few comments elsewhere about it.

Has anybody bought the App for the Alice Trail?
If so, is it any good/worth having?

No mention of Llandudno , or did I fall asleep during that bit .
So what is the Llandudno connection ?

Good job the Sun, Mirror,Star or even other investigative papers did not operate in those days.
Why should Llandudno want to be associated with this ?

In my humble opinion it is totally wrong to judge Mr Dodgson behaviour and actions from the mid-19th Century, by the behaviour and standards of the 21st. The man is dead can’t defend himself and large portions of what we know about him from his diaries have been heavily redacted by his Niece, for whatever reason.

A person he wrote about, stayed here sometimes. Could it be a more tenuous link  :o
