Children's Village in Rhyl

In it’s hayday, Rhyl was the wonder of North Wales with it’s family run Funfair which has been removed for complex of flats that have not been built, outside pool, donkey rides and much more. But as you can see from the picture that I took the other day, things are not looking good for Rhyl.

I remember when the Children’s Village was first built and this was original a lovely blue fountain that  rose up from the underground carpark under the village and it was very nice, but now look at it!

OK here it is my Monday Moan, I know this will step on a few toes, but to be honest, I DON’T CARE!!!!!!!

Well I’m afraid it’s nearly that time again when descent, watchable telly goes right out the window and Ch4 is about to bring us Celebrity Big Brother.

Yes I know there are so many “fans” out there that spend all night watching the live feed on TV and then doing nothing but talk about it the next day in work to anyone and everyone, you know who you are!

So what is all the fuss!?

Personally I would prefer some good TV such as some interesting dramas or even the TV companies to stop axing the good programmes such as Eli Stone or Pushing Daisies.

I really don’t understand the “thrill” that people get from watching a collection of has been celebs making complete idiots out of themselves, I mean it bad enough with the standard Big Brother, but come on, has TV really come to this. Will celebrities stop at nothing, what next celebrity sitting on the toilet, oh hang on, isn’t that the same thing ;)

car-parkNow according to the news thousands of people hit the streets today in one of the busiest Boxing Day sales for years.

I myself was in Llandudno today and usually the carpark in the town center is jam packed with cars, but, as you can see from the picture that I took after I had parked the car it wasn’t really that full the upper level of the car park were empty and the bottom two levels were quite sparse to say the least.

Saying that though, down the road in the shopping area, where we have BHS, Next etc the carpark was quite full, maybe this is due to the first two hours of parking are free, but, the shops still weren’t full with people, they just seemed the same as they would on a Sunday shopping trip.

So have people all gone mad and spent Boxing Day grabbing those sale items, I don’t really think so!
