The Great Orme

[martin]

When anyone gets an obscure number plate anyone looking at it has to guess at what is meant. Some are obviously more obscure than others.
Can we agree though that the last bit , nut, might be correct.  P.s. sorry I've upset touchy scousers

I agree, personally, I cannot see the point of having a personalised number plate, but each to their own.

Just had a nice drive around Marine Drive when half way between the cafe and the West shore, we met this clown driving very slowly the wrong way!

Will he get charged the Toll when he gets to Happy Valley Tollhouse?

As he's gone the wrong way round, he may expect them to pay him!

Look's like it is the original plate for the car, I was quite surprised to see that it is taxed!!

Mike, no worries    being serious, the Police are paranoid about speeding yet it seems going the wrong way against obvious signs saying no entry is ok?  It's a touchy subject for us as almost ten years ago we were involved in a head on crash, both vehicles doing around 55mph, they came on to our side of the road sideways! A miracle we survived really! Yet the police did not even prosecute the other driver! Her insurance company had to give us a large payout though!

I could tell you, but who knows who is listening?  .

I'm guessing - for the reasons Yorkie suggested - this is a grey area, legally. For example, the no entry signs on various entrances around the Mostyn Champneys car park almost certainly have no power in Law, although if you ignored one and then had a bump it would probably work against you in insurance terms.  As the Marine Drive is a private road, it possibly has little more status in law than a private car park, although the definition of what constitutes a public road is also not totally clear. All in all, then, it's probably wise to drive very slowly around some of the trickier bends on the Marine Drive, unless you fancy becoming a test case :-))

Has anyone any news or pictures to do with  the fact that the Orme is still closed and that it is said that a snowplough is stuck somewhere near the lighthouse?

[Ian]

There's no snowplough, but there were two cars stuck in a four foot drift.  Road is still closed, until the road clears.
