Very public spirited Hugo.
I would hope I would have done the same in a normal road traffic accident.

But in this case, I would have sat back, lit a match and tossed it in.... then videoed it to put it on Youtube.   WWW

Mmmmm reminds me of when my OH found a bloke near the lighthouse sat in the road having tipped off his 'dolly trolly' ( mobility scooter) He got him back onto the thing, tidied him up and the bloke promptly set off and ran over my OH's foot !

Reminds me of the time I was driving my car in Conwy. I was going through the archway in Conwy ready to turn right and go down the hill back into town. There was a man standing very close to the kerb as I was going very slowly through the arch and his shopping bag hit my car with a bit of a thud.
I wound down the window and asked him what he was playing at and he said that it's ok. I was getting madder at the thought of him hitting my car with his shopping and said that no it wasn't ok and got out of my car to sort it out.
I asked him again what did he think he was doing and again he said that it's ok which made me even more angry.
What do you mean it's ok, I demanded to know and then he explained!!
You've just run over my foot!
I backtracked very quickly and apologetically thinking that there could be a compensation claim coming my way and made sure that there were no bones broken as I made my excuse and left.

Now that is getting to be a likelyhood as we have the usual single rogue goat wandering the area as it does every winter. Yesterday morning it had got itself into one of the local B&B's garden and was happily munching its way through the shrubs. The gate was shut, so it must have jumped over the wall. Trouble is they don't find their way out as easily as they find a way in !

Fester reminded me that I needed to post this photo, of the Swimming Pool/Theatre car park. This has been like this for at least 4 years every time there is rain...

...and for good measure, here's the corner of Trinity Square/Mostyn Street by Lloyds Bank. Pedestrians have to wade though this every time it rains. How difficult is it to clear a blocked drain?

Can someone tell me who the Councillors are for Mostyn Street area? Do they ever walk around their Ward?

Probably sunk due to the heavy car transporters that have been driven there by Pentraeth and also "show" and rally service vehicles.

When the car park was constructed the surface on the main area was made to a low spec, purely for motor cars, in order to save construction costs.     ZXZ

The old swimming pool used to go along in that direction.

Before he retired, somebody from CCBC informed me when the swimming pool was empty and the tide came in then the swimming pool casing actually rose up.

If that story was true then it may also help to explain why the rainwater always stays there.

something similar happens near Aberconwy school every time there's a very high tide

The two services of Carols by Candlelight at St. Tudno's Church were well attended today, with about 120 at the 3 pm service (including Fester and Mrs. Fester - lovely to see you both) and 55 at the 5 pm service.

It was a beautiful occasion once again, Blodyn.

We actually set off for a walk today to Angelsea Road, (hence our inappropriate clothing, and lack of money) ... but then we realised that if we picked up the pace we could reach St Tudno's in time for the first Carol service.

So glad we did, and it was lovely to see you and so many of our neighbours too.

Thanks, Fester, so glad you both enjoyed the service - hope you didn't get too cold.  It's always nice to welcome so many people to St. Tudno's and as well as a good number of Great Orme residents we had some people from as far away as Shropshire. 

In case anyone's wondering why Fester was concerned about not having any money, the collections at the two services were in aid of Ty Gobaith.
