I have found a pension in Kidwelli which isn't too far from Llanelli.

I am spending the weekend with an acquaintance in Tree Herbert. It isn't very nice.

I hope the Llanelli area is a bit more pleasant.

Thankyou.

Treherbert isn't. If you need an escape and some open wild spaces in easy reach on your days off, head west to Pembrokeshire and walk the coastal path national park, or south-east to the Gower. As a general rule, proper Wales is as beautiful as anywhere in the UK, lived in Wales isn't.

Best Western at £80/night ish, Travelodge is £40-45/night.

Have a wander round Trivago and aim higher/lower, etc.

Emeus,

I'm from South Wales but based further east towards Cardiff.

My advice would be to use http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk, www.booking.com
or if you are planning to be there for any length of time www.spareroom.co.uk.

Good Luck.

Yes but if I can find some beach shacks for some food watching the sunset and the pretty girls I will be stoked

Thankyou

If you can find food in Wales, anywhere as near as good as Portugal, much less Goa, then please let us know. The preference down there is, shall we say, not sophisticated...

I actually thought Glamorgan sausage was an actual sausage. I love leeks though.

[malvolio]

No, sir. A Goan fish curry with coconut is much more enjoyable

Food in Portugal is good too and I hope the same in Wales

Thankyou

My mother was Welsh lol!

And has it happens North Wales is where I plan to retire, or semi-retire if I ever do.

I remember wagging off school pretending to be ill and watching Welsh programming on BBC (North West England), it's where I got my interest in languages from, though to be honest Welsh language never gripped me.

Did a stint for a subbed-out consultancy in Carmarthen, lot's a English lads there, we all had to greet on the phone in Welsh, written phonetically on a card, then to English, cos neither end could speak any real Welsh. Carmarthen Country Council, I have no memory of what I was doing there, two week job, for Sun Microsystems as was, all I can remember is the local brew 'Felinfoel' is better known as 'Feeling Foul'.....

Fair enough. Although "Bore Da" ain't too hard to learn. AS you say, it's about th elimit of most Carmarthen locals anyway.

As for Felinfoel, it's way better than Brains. Used to be a damned great sign as you came into Cardiff station, "It's Brains you Want!!". Ermm, no, not if you had any...

Funny man. Or simply another closet racist. And your humour is lost on any but the English anyway

Whether there is work or not depends on what you do. Plenty of heavy industry down there in Wales' tenth biggest town if you bother to look.

"Pension" for guest house is fairly widespread on the continent. Certainly in use in Germany, but it's also French, so Spanish or Portuguese would be possible. Or a 3rd country foreigner who is working in such a country of course.

[malvolio]

OK, I say it, what country are you from, what's the rate and are you allowed to contract in UK if not UK/EU? I can't think of any known contractor places in Carmarthenshire...

Dow you speak Welsh <modsnip>
