It's our heritage, see, lovely boy...

Funnily enough I grew up near there.

I'm glad it's staying. It's a very visible symbol of the history behind the community and it still stirs emotions

You are so lucky. When I was growing up there was a gasworks just over the road. The heartless shortsighted inconsiderate b@stards in the town planning department sanctioned just pulling it down eventually leaving us with nothing but a panoramic view of Arran. If only they had possessed such vision and artistic consideration eh? I don't suppose a single man jack of them was a druid mind!!

It's a big pile of old crap. It represents nothing more than ... er ... a big pile of old crap.

I sense an unsurprising lack of historical appreciation from the DBA. Just because it's not in World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings, doesn't mean it doesn't have a significance. It's something from the real world.

If they pulled down the mound, there would be a panoramic view of a bypass, a roundabout, a little chef and a Vauxhall garage. It's a no brainer even for a druid.

Saving that big pile of old crap is like storing one's poo in plastic sandwich bags and displaying them around the sitting room for visitors to admire.

LOTR: Who said I like it? I do, but who said? It's a bloody Police State.

Can you not go skiing on it in winter?

I'm sure some affordable housing can be built on it for "key public sector workers" comrade.

What don't you sell it bit by bit on ebay? "Own part of a heritage site"

Any other ideas on how the Welsh can capitalise on this obvious benefit?

Fashion the debris into Franklyn Mint-like sculptures of typical Wrexham scenes:
Pushing a pram to Netto.
Pushing a pram back from Netto, with bottles of spirits hidden under the lifelike ginger, one-eyed baby.
Wrexham teenagers loitering & drinking cheap lager - in school.
Fights in unbelievably horrible Wrexham pubs.

No visitors these days. Can't think why, though.

To be fair it's probably quite pretty compared to the rest of Wrexham.

I suggest they make it a dogging mound for the Jamaican Forum for Lesbians All-Sexuals and Gays (J-FLAG).

And have some sort of pillory at the summit for fire fighters.
