Daily Post and North Wales Weekly News

[wrex]

Of course not Bellringer,im just sick of dros the editor keeps feeding us with no thought or imagination to keep readers who are looking for lalandudno news happy,thats all and at the end of the day she won;t get me back buying the paper.

[Yorkie]

I think you will get a bit more support for this Crusade than the Xmas lights and I'm with you all the way!   I think this Forum has more up to date news than the NWWN and it is available free of charge and slap bang up to date.

Forums are proving to be the demise of the Press, many of whom are now offering on-line subscription services.   

[wrex]

  How is this weeks edition,any Llandudno news ,any stories on why Sainsburys has stalled,why Llandudno railway station is stalled again, any news on the Tudno castle,Pier Pavilion,Clarence or is it still void of any of the local issues most of us WOULD like to read about. ££$

[Fester]

Did you buy it today Wrex?

[wrex]

No i can;t justify spending on it,i hope they have been listening but until things change there is no chance of me buying it again.

[Merddin Emrys]

Surely they can only print what has happened?  I'd love to read that the Pier Pavillion was being rebuilt and the station etc etc, but as nothings happening what stories do they have?  As I've said many times we need one issue to cover the area, more to read about then.

[wrex]

As a community paper it would be nice for them to in vestigate WHY there is no movement on the issues that concern us and put some pressure on our beloved councillors

[Bri Roberts]

wrex, I think you will find the NWNN no longer has the resources to carry out the investigative journalism you are asking for.

[wrex]

oh  well,never mind

[outlawowl]

Better stick with the Pioneer . . .most of the local news, its free . . . and its staff seem to have a feel for the town

[Yorkie]

Yesterday we forgot to buy the NWWN and only realised this evening!   Did we miss anything?

Just shows that you don't have to go "cold turkey" to give up!   

[wrex]

Yorkie did you miss anything,next week they may feature your favorite event,the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza as it seems to have hit a little problem.It never warranted a mention the week before the event last year so maybe this time they will leave it alone. Never was sure why the NWWN decided the biggest event in Wales was not worthy of a mention,it could have been spite because they did not advertise with them,maybe they will explain oneday.

[Yorkie]

I daren't commit to print all the rumours I have heard about the Extravaganza - Even though I don't like it myself I don't wish it any harm.   I enjoy my little holiday away instead!   ZXZ

[wrex]

Yorkie you can have a holiday anytime,please don;t use the extravaganza as an excuse to go away.the rumour is you are joining the committee.What ever rumours are about ,this is the truth,the chairman has resigned and stepped down as event co-ordinator,so leaving those on the committee with a huge effort to get it on at such a late date.Any rumour that CCBC is taking it over are not true,they have their hands full in Colwyn Bay.

[Yorkie]

Dear Wrex

Contrary to what you presume, we do not use the Extravaganza as an excuse to go away.  It is just convenient for us top go in Early May as we have been doing so for almost 20 years.
The fact that we miss the Extravaganza is a BONUS!    Z**

As far as the rumours are concerned, I consider them as such and they do not bear repeating.  Had they had some substance and worthy of publishing on this august Forum, I would have done so.   Your addition that CCBC was taking over is an extra to what I had heard.

Any rumour associated with me joining the Committee must be the figment of a lunatics warped imagination.  NEVER in a Million Years!!!   I can even probably name the source of that rumour.

I have pleasure in repeating for your benefit a sentence from my last posting  -- Even though I don't like it myself I don't wish it (the extravaganza) any harm.    WWW
