This business about creating jobs for “locals “ tends to annoy me. In the past before the infestation there was virtually no unemployment and anyone capable of work had a job, sometimes more than one job.
The myth that the local economy depends on tourism is just that created by settlers who cannot think of anything else.
We always did have some tourists but in reasonable numbers which did not swamp the place and were welcome to visit.

You mean the LLanfair 400 audax where you get to ride past Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll on the way to Holyhead and back in the 400km ride.
Can't ride what is my favourite audax as I've got a poorly back so need to find something else to do
Instead I'm going to try a gentle 35-mile ride to Holmfirth and back, possibly stopping at Sid's Café of Last of the Summer Wine fame, where three silly old men did stupid stuff and talked about their ailments.
I rather enjoyed that program.

Jeez - your dentist works Saturdays!
Ours buggers off at 3pm on Fridays and returns 10am on Monday.
(Plus he whinges and whines about being hard up yet owns 6 BTL's and drives a very expensive sportscar.)

When else get you get your crown work done...?
(Not sure how I mistyped that. It should have been ''When else can you get your crown work done...")

I am sort of watching but mostly listening. It is not often that Church music uses a full orchestra with the choir. The Gospel music was lovely, and the Welsh.

Waited ages to get an emergency appointment. They cancelled all regular appointments for this month and are only doing emergency appointments.
Can't book a regular appointment same in all the local dentists

I have now! 🫅
I will publicly award myself the 'Dumbo of the Day' gong. 🥇
Maybe the late night I had last night. ❓
My gong award is especially apt as it seems like a lot of people have bedecked themselves with sashes, big metal thingies and other assorted gongs down in London today; so I am now one of the elitist gang too. Result!
