Why a sad ****er? people like different things, if you thought it was crap then you thought it was crap, don't stress over it.

It's a case of à chacun son goût, as the French say.

Roughly translated as 'Each one to his swollen toe"

If you want to visit shit houses then you have arrived.
Joking aside I'm a stone throw away and I have been there once.
Criminal I know.

In my humble experience one becomes more interested in history the older one gets. You are obviously still young and lovely.

Or just take a detour through Swansea.

Yes, spot on. Another popular French phrase is coup de grâce (final blow). So many mispronounce grâce by saying gra, grah, or grass. It's grahss.

You talking about the Vulcan?

AFAIK it was demolished with a view to rebuilding it at St Fagans, but there's no funds to do the rebuild.

Pity, it could be a money-spinner.

Vulcan is still getting built I think but not completed for a couple of years (maybe not until 2019 or I may be picking a year at random I'm not sure)

Will be great once it's done

I was there a fortnight ago and spoke to one of the wardens. The Vulcan will be built and ready to open at the end of 2017. It'll be a fully working pub based on the 1930's (not for the prices though I'd guess - a range of real ales will be available). The Workingmens Hall across from it will have a wedding ceremony licence and wedding guests can hire costumes from the 1930's and have their reception in the Vulcan.

Think they already have the wedding licence

I agree, I am lovely,
as for history I really enjoy it especially the history of butetown, I've done a fair bit of research regarding the Bute family and the Stuart's etc. I have read on this thread where someone mentioned st fagans was better than Cardiff castle, which I have to disagree as the masterpieces that W.burges created at the castle are astonishing
