The Cambrian News and other things

Nothing happened in Harlech this week, according to the Cambrian News. Our local scribbler found that there was nothing worth reporting. Nothing about this being the height of the tourist season, nothing about a whole orchestra descending on the local theater, nothing about the state of the St Davids Hotel and woe of woes the WI did not even meet. Pulitzers ahoy.


Pub Watch


The Queens


The man who was arrested for not leaving the Queens at closing time has been let off by our local super-magistrate Captain Martyr. The plea of being unavoidably and unintentionally stuck to the carpet was found to be not his fault. The Queens is still for sale.


The Branwen

The local uber-pub, formally known as The Rum Hole, is still managing to supply a heady mix of 80's bistro and wine bar for the visiting golfers. Local rockers Ratz Alley will play this Saturday, probably too loudly. The Branwen is still for Sale.
The Lion
Suspected traces of cocaine on the bar top were identified as Horlicks powder so no action was taken. Imaginary parking tickets, made from recycled saw dust were not awarded to anybody from Birmingham. The lease for the Lion is still available.
The Castle
Captain Martyr, as representative of the community council, Gwynedd County Council and the Snowdonia National Park thwarted a planning application by hotel owner Mr. Davies. The sale of the Castle Hotel has been delayed.
Coming soon.... a guided tour of businesses and their owners on the one of the most congested high streets in North Wales.
