Just back from a wedding anniversary trip to Venice. What an amazing place! Heavy flooding appears to have turned every street into a canal - flushing away all the cars AND all the traffic wardens. Conwy Council, think on. Global warming's gonna get you.
Yes, I'm all bitter and chewed up because the new regime of ticketing tyranny in the walled town has already claimed me as a victim. I parked in the lashing rain at Bodlondeb to walk the dog a couple of week's back and returned minutes later to find the evil yellow sticker on my windscreen. Foolishly I hadn't noticed the regularly defunct ticket machine (which is the other side of the road from the car park at the cricket field) was working for a change.
A pity this authority isn't as zealous about emptying bins and cleaning streets (and I was very glad to see the chief constable is getting his teeth into this issue).
I'm off to the shiny new Quay Hotel at Deganwy tonight for an event to launch the BBC's Children in Need appeal. I have my moans about the Beeb but at least they do a great job helping many youngsters who are often overlooked by the other big charities. Hopefully we will soon have details of their appeal night concert at Colwyn Bay on November 17. We will run these as soon as they become available.
Another date for your diary - October 16, which sees the launch of our new Daily Post website. LOTS more details to follow!
