*Gasp* you like Rhyl!
Min: It's like a dirtier, nastier version of Porthcawl!!!
Cymru am byth!!
Haven't been to Porthcawl in ages, though I once recieved an award from Rhodri Morgan there. Barry Island's the better beachy-fairy place despite the fact the town is notorious for being a dump. I know a guy who once dived over a chip shop counter and started nicking the chips. It was surreal.
Ha ha! Sounds a bit like the usual happenings of Rhyl! I haven't been to Barry for a long time, but you're on the right lines. I don't think Rhodri would come too far North! I was born in Wrexham, lived in Swansea, then back to Wrexham... I must say, I prefer it down South! Anyway, I'm off to Aberyswyth Uni in September... All part of my Welsh tour!
I suppose a better comparison of Rhyl is to suggest taking Rhonnda Valley, adding it to Barry, along with a few ropey old rollercoasters then multiply the population by smackheads...
I guess what i'm saying is that Rhyl isn't duped 'Dirty Vegas' for nothing...
