    Slightly off topic but I wish they'd change the voice in the lifts at the Glassworks so it had more of a Tarn inflection.

    When I was in my teens I had “Welay” tattooed on my Nob. My (rather forward) girlfriend asked me what it meant? I said just give it a little rub and magically: Welcome to Jamaica have a nice day appeared”.

    A relative a student in Bangor in the 1960s recalls signing a petition opposing plans to close the North Wales Rail line.
    Fortunately it never happened.
    Yes, known as Llanfairpwll. And it's not a 'nonsense' name - each part refers to a local geographical feature - most close to Llanfairpwll Church on the edge of the Straits.
