I rememebr it well, driving around and around looking for the mythical village of Tal-y-Bont (Which I know means 'By The Bridge' - because Dilwyn told me !) - never to find it. We ended up in Pant-y-Girdle instead. :o) > Norman will doubtless like to know that one of the signs from the > other direction still doesn't exist, and the damaged sign which had > letters missing (local councils don't use glue strong enough to > survive Welsh weather) is now readable because it seems the Tal-y-ban > took a marker pen to fill in the missing letters, nice of them to do > something constructive for once. Strangely enough, this doesn't surprise me. Although the fact that the Tal-y-Ban actually rewrote the signs does fill me with awe and wonder. I wonder how they knew how to spell it ! > Not sure about keeping Aliens out, John, but it sure managed to keep > the Scots out. Not for long - we were back in North Wales a few months ago. When we passed the sign for Tal-y-Bont, I suggested we tried to find it again - Alison didn't think we would so we went straight on and had chips at Conwy (That 'Conwy' spelling doesn't look right to me - maybe I should have been less critical above :o( Conway perhaps ?) However, it's always a good idea to keep the Jocks out - they come down here stealing your jobs and your women! (Well, I did !)
