Perhaps a mid ground of tasteful gifts/souvenirs at affordable prices is the answer. But is that achievable...maybe?

In a previous life, I used to choose the prizes for the Prize Bingo on the Pier. One thing I learnt was..if an item looked so tasteless that you wouldn't have in your house, then order lots of it. One of the most sought after prizes was a large plastic clock in the shape of a gold coloured elephant. It was massive and the clock face was located where the body of the elephant was. The curious thing was that the clock hands each had a butterfly attached - I never found out why.  ???

 :o I've seen trying to find one of those for years! It will go with my pink giraffe clock with a penguin on each hand!  :laugh:

:( Wet that is what town is today and i have seen a few coaches coming in for the day,oh my god i thought what are those poor souls going to do in town today,the war museum,Llandudno museum,3 amusement arcades and shop oh ten pin bowling that is it.

When you think that the majority of the coach passengers are elderly it seems a travesty that there is nothing suitable for them to do.

The war museum will probably bring back unpleasant memories and all those machines in the local amusement arcades appear to be geared toward the younger element. (well, apart from one-armed bandits and penny pusher machines)

As for ten pin bowling, how on earth is an elderly person supposed to roll those heavy bowling balls for a length of time?

The country park Visitor Centre at the Great Orme summit is very interesting and those who’ve come for the scenery might enjoy it, while others might like Randolph Turpin’s bar.  Much of the Great Orme Mines is under cover and one can also have a coffee there and browse the secondhand books. 

BUT: how is a coach passenger to get to these attractions?  An open sided tram is not very alluring on a wet day and the 73 bus provides a rather limited service, leaving passengers at the summit for 2 ½ - 3 hours on a Sunday (on other days there are four, rather than three buses).  Much as I love the Great Orme I’m not sure that, as a visitor, I’d want to spend so long at the summit on a wet day and there is no timetabled stop for the copper mines.  Even this assumes that: the visitor know about the bus (remembering that Tourist Information is closed on a Sunday); arrives in time for the first bus; is able to get back from the Orme in time for their coach home. 

I’ve not really helped very much, have I?!

I can see what looks to be a largish fire up in the Maes y Castell area of Llanrhos. Lots of black smoke billowing over.

One of the great mysteries of the Christian religion, T. There's also a third aspect of what is purported to be the same supernatural being. All very difficult to understand.

Isn't Jesus supposed to be the Son of God?     $good$

If he really was the Son of God it would mean he was a celestial being (I think that's the right word) which in turn would mean he was actually an Alien.  The one characteristic of all religious denominations is they pray to the sky.  He could also of been considered as a fore runner to David Blane or our very own Derren Brown.
