Plas Mawr translates as The Great House or something close. Bryn means Hill.

I'd not want to lean against that in a high wind.

I notice even the Victorians had fly-posters. That's Lipton's. They built a castle in Devon on the strength of those sales.

You're meant to boil it first, not eat it dry.

I reckon that girl outside the Crown is about eight, parked by her dad.

Beautiful Diamond Lead Light windows. I hope they didn't replace them.
