    Some of the women are absolute filth (in a good way), but there's not much else to do so they've no doubt had a fair bit of practice.
    Interesting that Rhyl/Prestatyn have some of the best beaches in the UK. Yet are complete dives to live in. Very poor councils.

    I remember her gran saying prince Philip used to whiz around there in a little red sports car 'sewing his wild oats', which might explain a thing or two about the gene pool in that area.
    Crazy old bint must have misunderstood. Probably just remarked I was going to Bangor.

    Just listening to QT in the background and some bint is kicking off about how all the "wealth" in Wales ends up in the south.
    A North-South divide in the principality.....................who knew?
    There's posh!!

    Doesn't Brillo reside in the North? All his wealth went south years ago.

    But yes - perfectly true. Gogs and Taffs don't really get on. I think half the problem is that mid-wales is sort of in the way - and there's f**k all there.

    Perfectly true though. All the money in Wales is along the Newport-Cardiff-Swansea region. The rest is mostly ignored and seriously under funded.

    Put it this way, the quick way from South Wales to North Wales is back into England and up the M5. Going west, the dualled A46 stops just after Carmarthen, after that you're on back roads which, when you think that West Pembrokeshire has the world's third best natural harbour (after Sydney and Amsterdam), is something of a waste.

    always someone else's fault!

    Its probably because if you go up north the Druid arrests you for going over 3 miles an hour!
