RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted October 12, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) You said "brighten", and all was going well until the poster of Barmouth. It had to be a drawing because the sun never shines there, and as for frolicking children and mothers in bikinis, that is pure fantasy on the artist's part. He's obviously drawn it from a photo, and omitted all of the folk in their mackintoshes and balaclavas...........

coachmann Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It works! Judging by the number of tourist who assume it always rains in North Wales and the Cambrian coast, they must be hitting rain when on hols. Eventually we will have tourist-free roads in summer so we locals can get around and enjoy our beautiful country. Having chosen to live here instead of in England's Cottonopolis over 50 years ago, I have never been short of a tan summer or winter ha ha... In fact I have just come indoors after having lunch in the garden. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted October 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2015 My Focus had more grunt, you can take 50bhp off for the weight of that thing + 10% of the power as no doubt most of the clowns who own drive around in them with the hood down(more loose of power)have the air-con switched on it put them about 200bhp which is what Paul Daniels would say not a lot.

coachmann Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) My youngest son came home with a fresh car last weekend. Press a button and the hood goes into the boot. His workmates told him he had bought a hairdressers car, but posing for his photos like jack the lad in his bird-pulling convertible, a leopard skin scarf covering his rollers, he didn't look too bothered ha ha...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted October 12, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2015 You think I can afford to drive a BMW? How sweet. I didn't say you owned it... Anyway my other thought was that you'd stated early defending the sea wall against winter storms. A few sheets of the folding stuff in the hands of the local Teignmouth yoof and hey presto, beach armour on the cheap. (yes I know that the yoof in Teignmouth is about 50) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously drawn it from a photo, and omitted all of the folk in their mackintoshes and balaclavas........... Let me defend my beloved Wales: View towards Traeth Penllech this summer, on the Llynn peninsula (not that far from Barmouth as the crow flies..) And on the beach itself: Glorious sunshine, beach activities, scantily clad ladies. what more could one want? which puts in a somewhat awkward position: (not to mention hijacking Rob's tread..) It works! Judging by the number of tourist who assume it always rains in North Wales and the Cambrian coast, they must be hitting rain when on hols.
