It's been damn near 25 years since my last trip out to the UK, and we're doing a lightening visit to Pembrokshire in a few weeks from the US.
Pretty sure most of the places I remember have long since gone (much saddened to see that the Stepaside Inn had closed eons ago for example), so I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for either a decent Italian or even a place that does good steaks etc.
Pretty easy going on the price and no objections to dressing up in the old glad rags as well.
Ease of parking is also important.
TIA!
John Cale played a major role in a band that is widely considered in the upper-echelon of the most influential bands of the 20th Century. The Experimental Proto-Punk sound that inspired everything that followed the Velvets has his legacy cemented in the annals of popular music, and in the hearts and minds of avid music aficionados.
I just don't see him being revered amongst the welsh public in the same vein. I'm well aware that his body of work isn't the most accessible to the general consumer who may not be able to appreciate it's greatness. I'm not tone deaf to the degree that I realise his compositions won't be as adored compared to the likes of a Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, or the Phonics and Manics.
I just wish he was treasured more on a national level. It's so cool that he's one of our own. 🏴
I'm thinking of applying to Bangor to study Accounting this year and i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if Bangor is a good uni. In terms of teaching quality, reputation etc...
From my own personal point of view:
Labour - Been in charge over 25 yrs, NHS Education, Transport (To name but a few - complete failures) - (Rely upon the grandfathering of voters, that anything other than Labour=bad)
Plaid - Insisting on an Independence course with no evidence or true thinking of how it could work (Rely on the Language voters mainly)
Conservatives - will NEVER gain any foothold in Wales due to above and Mines/Thatcher
Greens - best left alone IMHO
Reform...uh oh, the elephant in the room. Imagine if they took all the Tory, Green, Lib dem votes and actually got in...
Labour in the Senedd does not have a majority,. Their previous agreements with Plaid have seemingly been torn up by Rhun.
I go back to my original statement - What would it take to unite Wales in a Political landscape?

Truly horrific case.
People fishing for mullet in Teifi at low tide on the edge of the town, this lunchtime.
So, I was watching a YouTube video and I saw these abandoned military assets.
The half sunken boats in the video immediately reminded me of Pembrey county park. When I checked on Google, I was right.
Turns out, as of 2017, this spot was actively used for target practice by the military. There is no warning sign and some people are actually visiting the area.
I found the location on Google Maps for anyone interested in checking it out. The coordinates are 51°43'31.4"N 4°22'14.7"W.

Hello everybody. Currently I am looking to start a new job and might need to relocate. Is 25k a year (before tax) enough to live in South Wales? Some cities in South Wales I have considered are Swansea, Cardiff and Newport.
As the title says, what are some good documentaries about Wales, history, legend, landscape any of it.
To me, it feels like Wales as a whole doesn't relate to Conservative or Labour values (Perhaps the labour of yonks ago?) and not Plaid either.
I'm just curious, what would you want to see from a Welsh political party?
With Welsh having some distinct sounds. Could it use standard phonetic alphabets like NATO's or would it need it's own unique one?
Was in the garden at about 18:30 and saw what very much looked like a shooting star flash across the sky for about 3 seconds then disappear. I was on my own and no one else i know saw it, just wondered if anyone else saw it. Looked to be heading south to north-ish
