Welcome!

[Ludo]

Hello and thanks for the warm welcome. Thanks also for creating this fantastic resource, I stumbled on your forum quite by accident while searching for a hotel in Llandudno. I grew up in the town and now live in Holland. I try to get back to visit when I can and I will actually be in Llandudno on the 24th August (2011). I will post some of my memories and photos when I get a chance. I see my photo is already on here - I have the same photo hanging in my hallway at this very moment!. I bet you're curious now...

Why the name? it is from a joke very well known to all Llandudno folk. I will post it in the (adult) section of you're amusing 'Pub' section but I am sure you will be very familiar with it anyway.

Thanks again for all of your hard work and enthusiasm for what is surely one of the most beautiful places in the world (but then I must confess I am a little biased!)

Welcome to the Forum, Ludo.  Which photo is that, then?

[Bri Roberts]

Welcome, Ludo.

Many years ago I was told a joke about a gentleman from Llandudno called Ludo.

I guess it is the same one.

I think I heard it also.  Gave the nurse a surprise!   

[Ludo]

Thanks all - yes that's the one Yorkie, I have told that joke countless times with as many variations and it always gets a laugh!. I will post some more info and photos/interesting items shortly when I get used to how the forum works, I have to have a good look at the FAQs and get up to speed. It really is a great forum though - my nostalgia has flared up something rotten since I found you...

Mine is long enough to have that REALLY long Welsh place name tattoed on it ..... you know the one .... RHYL.    L0L

[Yorkie]

I can just get my initials on mine - lucky my first name is Ian or I wouldn't be able!     L0L

This 'Ludo' topic reminds me of a fellow who was in the same barrack room as me when I did my National Service over 50 years ago. It would have been possible, not only to tattoo 'Llandudno' on his, but also a panoramic view of the town complete with both Great and Little Orm's, and there would have been room for a Welsh Dragon at one end and a view of Conwy Castle at the other!

    The man must have been a human tripod!!   

[Yorkie]

Apparently at fancy dress parties, he would throw it over his left shoulder and go as a petrol pump!    L0L   L0L
