Thinking about it - I’ve no idea what they were doing in Aberkenfig because the local bingo hall was in Kenfig Hill. Maybe Aberkenfig were holding a snowball, then the real snow fell.

Sad to see the sex shop has gone from Aberkenfig. Where else could you buy a dildo, fishing tackle and a gun on one Welsh street?

As a firm believer that there are too many people on the planet and we should be having fewer kids you can sometimes get accused of teetering on eugenics ideology. All I have to do is show them this and that is my argument won. We're done as a species.
