Have fun! Though after a day or 2 and 3 houses you'll be sick of the entire process!! Its not as though Anglesey and Llangollen are close to each other either, especially in holiday time!

Make sure if coming to live in Wales you check the local broadband speed, as we do not have super fast here in most places..ALL the money is spent in the f***ing South of Wales just as all the money in England is spent in the south...Political bollocks over now. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Holywell does have super fast Caerwys where my exchange is does not...and the two exchanges mingle at CH88 post codes.

Well after looking at so many places , the wife has got it down to 3 all of which are getting a second viewing next Wednesday . We have 1 in Ruddlan , 1 in Penycae and 1 in Johnstown .1 thing I did get in Wales is a speeding ticket , I was following the estate agent to a viewing along the Kimmel coast road and got a 35 in a 30 . I am normally very conscious of speed in built up area ,but I was so trying to follow the agent ,yet here's the thing I got done ,she did not yet I was just behind her .

Grumpy ,with that in mind I was very careful for the next visit and while I was on the A55 express way @70mph ,I was apart from the Lorrys the slowest person on it ,they was flying along even through the @50mph section . A parently the police are only really onit as regards speeding during the holiday period up there .Why did they send the NIP in Welsh ?

Either because they want to make you feel like a foreigner or that they hope that as you can't understand it, you'll ignore it, allowing them to charge you with further crimes with bigger punishments - thus appearing to be doing their job better.
