Take our Big Fat Quiz of the Week and test your knowledge of the news
It has been another busy week of news in North Wales and further afield

I got 9 out of 10       but I should have got full marks as I believe that the Daily Post has made a Boo Boo with one question.
Can anyone get 10 out of 10?

With Anwyl's past antics I wouldn't have been surprised if they put a planning application in for 150 apartments  on a 20 storey complex on their Penmorfa building site           :)

8 out of 10 for me but made the same Boo Boo as you Hugo so it should be 9. Maybe one day when the Economy improves Anwyl will get around to building those flats on West Shore.

You don't need speed bumps in this 20 mph area

You can't see the letters that have been engraved on this stone and they must have been eroded or beneath the modern development.

But what is it and where exactly would you see it?

The photo is one of a number of stones around this area, but what is it and where exactly was the stone in my first photo located?

Well done Mull and Steve.        It is an old  Parish Boundary Stone.    On the other side of the stone should be   E R
                                                                                                                                                                  P
which was the Parish of Eglwys Rhos
That's the easier bit so where exactly was the stone in the first picture?
