Forums Forums Local News Burned Down - Woodside Hotel

I'd love to live in a Lighthouse. It's a shame they automated them - just not the same in my eyes.

That's a great bit of information Suzy - looks like something else for me to investigate tomorrow I wonder how many are actually still manned now.

Spot on ! Yes, the Smalls was one of the best lights to be on - as long as you were on with a good crew. Was on most of the north/west wales lights. Trwyn Du has always been unmanned (as far as I know). Light and bell worked by acetylene gas. Used to have "No passage landward" painted on the sides.

Don't get me started on the lighthouse stories. I'll be up all night and you'll be ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !

I think we had better pull the plug on this one now or the mods will be saying naughty things about going off topic. Worthy of General Chat tomorrow maybe ??? Someone gave me a bottle of Arran Single Malt yesterday, so I'm going to test some of it now and depress myself with reading today's papers !

Signing off.

Sorry back again. PaganJay - none are now manned. All are automated. (The bast***s)

Boooo!! Thank you for that Pinz - you're a star x

So "Mrs Murphy's chowdah" wasn't one of Black Jack's original thoughts ? Gutted ! Never realised it was an existing tune.

Think I'm going to have to get a new signature. There's me thinking it was (almost) original. Poo !

walked past today flat as a pancake!

Woodside Hotel taken a few months ago

Good pic Ghostly, do you mind if I pinch it, for personal use, I had my wedding party there in 2005 and have no pictures of the outside.

Help yourself! its not that good like, the panaoramic thingy never works for me....and i just realised thats the second time i posted that sorry got slighlty carried away there.

Well, according to this site http://www.peachdevelopments.co.uk/ they're in partnership together.
coincidence? who knows.

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that username scoops

Any particular reason or is it just a case of "eek a new name"?

What ever happened to Scoop?

An old member who used to post all the time

see member number 4 in the members list

But thats off topic

Right, gotcha.
And back to the topic.
Another interesting coincidence, the people who used to own the Woodside also owned Stairways, which also burned down
