Not sure what you mean by that, Cartier.  Can you elucidate, please?

I think Cartier means,     " Does anyone get a polite reply from Nemesis?"    

Forgive me if my interpretation is incorrect.   ))*

But the lol probably indicates that it was sent in "humerous" tone.

He/she never seems happy with the town and is quite sharp on the key board.
I read on the old forum they had only been in the town 10/12 years, so if it's that bad why still here?
No rudeness intended on my behalf.

I'm afraid that's not how it came across. Nemesis is a valued and regular contributor. I think your comment was misplaced.

Nemesis has just come back on line after a hectic few days.
Cartier-- I don't know where you have suddenly sprung from, but I don't consider your comments worth answering.
You needn't think that I shall rise to your needling.
End of.

Your absolutely right Cartier.............We can see exactly who has the Acid tongue and who's the sharp one on the keyboard.  :twoface:

To get back to the Goats for a minute, every year as the winter progresses and fodder gets harder for them to find they jump over my gate, eat most of what's left in my front Garden, leave me loads of little round presents and then move next door to do the same thing all over again. They wont get much this year as the garden is still in bags on North Parade, waiting for the recyclers to come and collect it. As the Goats belong to the town I've often wondered why CCBC isn't prosecuted by the RSPCA for animal cruelty. I understand that they are feral but surely they have a duty of care to provide them with fodder just like any other responsible animal keeper

PS Nemesis welcome back, I don't like needling either.

At one time the old Aberconwy Borough Council were the "carers" for the goats but they officially abrogated their responsibility in the 1990's (I believe).  Since then the goats were not looked after and were classed a feral.  At some time in the 90's Dr Craig Cameron, President of the Llandudno Civic Council, accepted responsibilty but in name only.   For the past few years CCBC have held a watching brief and have carried out a program of keeping numbers down by systematic birth control.   The Orme Wardens do report and take care of any sick or injured animals but that is as far as their interest extends.   The animals are feral exactly the same as the foxes, rabbits, rats, birds, and all the other wildlife on the Orme.

What was the point of that, then?

We will never know!   Unfortunately Dr Cameron passed away earlier this year.

There was some publicity in the local rag at the time and even a short video on the BBC Welsh news

His intentions as a Town Councillor and as President of the Llandudno Civic Council, were always generous, but his method of implementation rather questionable.   )*)&

Fight to keep goats Welsh

The goats have lived on the Orme for a hundred years
A Llandudno town councillor is fighting plans to move some of the town's unique wild goats to England to encourage breeding.
Experts are warning the species could die out unless they are moved from their home for the last hundred years on Llandudno's Great Orme.
But Dr Craig Cameron says splitting up the herd is unnecessary, and could bring to an end the goat's long association with the headland.
The goats living on the Great Orme today are descendants of the first breed to come to Britain.
The cashmere goats were maintained by Queen Victoria and were used as mascots for he Royal Welch Fusiliers.
But the county council is warning that unless they are broken up and encouraged to begin breeding at other sites in Britain the herd will have no future.
Town councillor Dr Cameron said he would prefer to keep the herd together.
"The herd has user rights, " he said.
"They have been here for 100 years. and I intend to make sure they stay here."
Dr Cameron believes there are sufficient numbers here to keep the species thriving, and he is taking steps to try and prevent any break up.
He is hoping to become the legal owner of the herd to allow the goats the right to stay on the Great Orme.
