"We have to get in the night club before midnight, otherwise there'll only be Merthyr girls left..." I once got stranded in Merthyr overnight and it was like the league of gentlemen. I went into a newsagent and the owners infant daughter actually said to him "you can't serve him he's not local". 😂Took me hours to find a pub and that was a crown green bowling club. I was staying in a pub that opened 1 day a week and when I got up in the morning I opened the curtains to find a donkey and horse staring in at me. This was less than 10 years ago, and I'm still surprised I got out of there without being sacrificed. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to find the pub I was staying at and Google maps had put me on a footpath on the side of a hill when I saw this rapidly approaching dot in the distance that turned to be a horse running full pelt in my direction.. Ended up down the side of a drainage ditch before the owner turned up and rescued me.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 9, 2023 Merthyr is, well, it's Merthyr, over a century of Quote post-industrial desolation on acid, often literally, with steep hills and isolated third-world housing estates at the top of 'em. It's proximity to some of the most beautiful country in the area just makes it more, sort of, um, Merthyr...
