I had to walk in to Rhyl town centre on that day and it was a horrible experience and was like a red carpet as you have described.    With every foot step you took you could hear the crunch of the Ladybirds beneath your feet.     It was a horrific experience that I hope I never have again

Four arrested after RAF Brize Norton break-in

Counter-terror police have arrested four people after military planes were sprayed with paint during a break-in at RAF Brize Norton that was claimed by a pro-Palestinian group.

Footage posted online last Friday by Palestine Action showed two people inside the Oxfordshire airbase in darkness, with one riding on a scooter up to an Airbus Voyager and spraying paint into its jet engine.
If they are big enough to do the crime then they should be big enough to do the time and they may reflect on their actions when they are inside HM Prison

Family shut farm's honesty box after egg theft

A 10-year-old boy has been forced to close his family's honesty box after thieves stole the eggs and did not leave any money.

The family egg stand had been run over the years by Celt and his siblings, Brenig and Briallen, outside their home near Llanrwst, Conwy county.

It was a way for them to save pocket money but their mum, Dwynwen Williams, said the family recently decided to shut the stand after a dozen eggs were taken with no money left.

Flying Ant Day 2025 set to be one of the biggest in years, say experts
Swarms of tens of millions of ants large enough to be seen on radar will be seen pest control experts say

Pest experts are warning of a significant increase in flying ant activity, triggered by the perfect mix of alternating wet and warm weather. They predict this year's Flying Ant Day - the annual nuptial flight when millions of winged ants swarm the skies in synchronised displays - could be one of the most substantial in recent memory.

I hope that the experts are wrong but I do remember the Summer of 1976 when I worked in Rhyl.      There was a plague of Ladybirds in the town, millions of the little red creatures everywhere.    They even closed the amusement arcades because of the invasion of the Ladybirds
