Not so. When moving the meter works on distance not time, it only works on time when the vehicle is stationary.

Why do you hate Wales so much Delmbox?
My current favourite pint; £4.95 in my local.
Absolutely spot on. The World is your oyster.
Go to Rhoose and fly somewhere nice.
I know you're teasing but I like Wales. I don't like everything about Wales but I love the rolling hills everywhere, and the beaches in West Wales and the mountains in the North. I like the football team and the cheap cinemas and the way people let each other out on the roads. There's lots of nice people too and I love the fact we've got our own language and that healthcare is free. And all my stuff is here.
It's an absolute sheer fluke where you're born (something a lot of people seem to forget) and I consider myself very lucky to be born somewhere that can give me a good quality of life, better than a hell of a lot of countries.
Would I rather have been born somewhere with nice weather though? Yeah probably.
Give it another couple of years...
Weather can be crap, if you go away for a fortnight, which I usually do it can rain for ten of the fourteen days you are away. I hate the rain, we get enough of the damn stuff over spring, autumn and especially winter
Accommodation is extortionate in this country. Have you booked a hotel or a decent B&B in Tenby during July or August? For what you pay here you can get a decent holiday in one of the Med countries, or the Canaries
Exactly, guaranteed weather abroad, which is the main ingredient of a summer holiday. Even though prices are rocketing, you can still get a decent bargain if you look hard enough, the UK, no chance. Hotels, entertainment, food, drinks etc are way over the top here. Many overseas resorts you can find a cold beer for €1 a pint on the stroll back from a day on the beach, good luck finding the equivalent in the UK.
I was, as you say, only messing.
Agree entirely, I am a big fan of Wales. I wish our summers were more reliable but in the grand scheme of things I wouldn't change much else.
Down camp Smokey way was ok if I recall…..had some decent times there with the kids when they were very young.
Same hear about £4.50/£5.00 around Cardiff….in fact I’m having one in a few
Do they fly anywhere from Rhoose bar Dublin , Paris and Amsterdam?
Wizz Air have been flying from Cardiff from the start of April. Hey are budget airline with some cheap flights to a lot of places in Europe. Went to Lanzarote and back last two weeks of May for £65. Lanzarote and back last week of Jan/first week of Feb for £25 return
Well things being as they are I would rather spend 2 hours driving to somewhere in west Wales I have never seen before than put myself in an early grave pissing about with connecting flights or getting stuck in 6 hour delays at Dover to travel through Europe
If you go to Tenerife it's basically west Wales with sun , in October.
A lot of us Taff's don't know the beauty of our own back yard
We are happy to join psueds corner in a wine bar in Amsterdam but have been to pen y fan
Or Bluestone
Tenerife is basically one big **** off volcano.West Wales it isn't.
Do wine bars exist anymore? They were a thing in the early 90's if i recall, full of dodgy 40 somethings.
They are called gin bars now
It's barren , like Scotland or West Wales but with sun
Yeah, what the **** is that all about?
You hope they do more than just gin
Whatever it is, it's wank.
I think this is one where Gordon Brown is to blame.
When he was Chancellor of the Exchequer (as I remember) he removed the centuries old government taxes or duties on local/craft gin production - the ones brought in when Hogarth was doing his cartoons of Gin Alley and pissed mothers pouring booze down their toddlers' throats. The result was an explosion of local and small-scale gin production all over the country. From a handful of national brands (Gordons, London, Hendricks etc) there were hundreds within just a few years. Local tonics followed. Close behind that came the gin bars. Now the UK is the biggest gin exporter in the world (all pre Brexit!).
