Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Gwynant]

                  Bri, the connection with a "wide road" is that the old Blodwel Home was in or very close to Broad Street in Llandudno Junction.

[Hugo]

Hollins has found the Church and the village so well done.      It is one of the most beautiful Churches I have ever seen and well worth a visit.   In fact I'm hoping to go back soon with my wife to show her the building.           

The clues I gave hoping that it would lead to part of the answer can be explained as follows:-

 is in a wide road, but it isn't really!       NO it's in Broad Street

 this building is no longer a home           Blodwel Home in Broad Street ceased to exist when it was taken over by offices

The sign "Blodwel"  is still on the front of the building despite its change of use.    Perhaps "Blodwel" wasn't visible through the trees when you looked Gwynant.  but you were on the right lines with the Blodwel connection

[Gwynant]

                   If I can help someone on my way through life Hollins, my living won't have been in vain! On a much more serious note I bet your other half was glad he was not climbing on Pen-yr-Oleu Wen yesterday, that was a dreadful accident, and the poor guy was entirely blameless by the sound of it.

[Bri Roberts]

                  Bri, the connection with a "wide road" is that the old Blodwel Home was in or very close to Broad Street in Llandudno Junction.

Thank you, Gwynant.

Passing that building today still traumatises me becuase when I was little my father always threatened to send me there if I did not behave myself.

My Mam did the same Bri and that's why I couldn't make the clues too obvious because everyone my age would know the name of the  home.

Bri and Hugo, I feel for you with those threats of what would happen if you are naughty.
Gwynant, that sounds like an horrific accident and one of several in the area in the last few days.
How awful for everyone concerned including the poor rescuers.
I have to be honest it was Mr Hollins that got the church. His dad used to live in Oswestry and sort of recognised it but without Gwynant we would have been lost.
Hugo, I think you should have been a writer for cryptic crossword clues!
The church does look fantastic. Did you do a walk around there?

[Hugo]

We had a couple of short walks to see two historical sites in the area and really enjoyed them.  I've seen that Iron Age Hillfort so many times from the main road and grabbed the chance on Saturday to walk around it.
Those recent accidents in the Ogwen Valley were horrific and I really feel it for them and their families. I got caught out there a few months ago when the mist suddenly came down but I opted for caution and came down the safer way even though it took me 5 hours to get back to my car.   The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

[Yorkie]

I was in the wrong place for the last quiz, but here is one for you.

Who is this, what specifically is he famous for except busking in Albufeira as he does now?

Clues will follow as required!

[Hugo]

Yorkie, are you still on the beach sunning yourself as no clues have come for this teaser.

I can't see the face clearly but I'll have a wild pop at Adam Ant.    I don't know what he has done other than being in his group Adam and the Ants.     

[Yorkie]

I am back in PB now.  Clue - I'll give you a penny for your thoughts.   

[Hugo]

Another wild guess Lionel Morton of the Four Pennies.       

[Nemesis]

Oh Heck Hugo--- you are really travelling back in time now !--- Juliet ?

[Merddin Emrys]

Another wild guess Lionel Morton of the Four Pennies.       

We're they renamed 1.66666666666 Pennies after decimalisation?   

[Yorkie]

Plastic money was just coming into vogue at the time!

Look's like Freddie Starr has fallen on hard times...
