Anyone know why there are no "free range" poppy-sellers in town this year? Plenty of shops selling poppies but somehow it's not quite the same.

Perhaps a lack of volunteers? People these days lead such busy lives that not that many people have free time to help out, sadly.

I met a poppy seller outside the Coop in Old Colwyn last week , it was piddling down and she was getting quite wet. i asked her "why dont you go inside"? her answer was "if the servicemen of this country have to do their duty in their conditions, then a bit of rain want hurt me" what a lady.  ΒΆΒΆ##

Looks like being a High Tide today if the winds keep up, might go and take a look. Tide is in at 12.27.

Thanks for letting us know, was very impressive at Penrhyn Bay!

Looks as though the wind made it a better show at Penrhyn Bay and Rhos, rather than Llandudno.  :( Still, there were impressive amounts of foam flying around on Llandudno Prom:

That doesn't surprise me. DaveR has just e-mailed me some forum stats.  ?{}?

Just been told now the old "FLICKS" has re opened by the guy who's got the chippy downstairs. I'll have to take a nosy, used to love it in there years ago. D)

Used to frequent the place myself years ago. Was called the Criterion before it became "Flix".

Had an interesting "going to the flix" decor. Remember sitting having a drink on one of those old "cushy" cinema seats - I think they were from the Savoy when it closed down.

KFC on Mostyn Street is closed for a few days for a complete refit, just in case you were thinking of going.
