The Vale of Clwyd

By Brett

26 April 2008

Just quickly scribbled to get off my chest.

Let's raise a toast: the Vale of Clwyd
A land no longer fit for druids,
Its greenery fit for building plots,
Caravan parks, not Camelots.

When Saxons no longer feel alive
They take to the A55
And where they feel Death's clammy hand
Pull up and park their caravans.

Let us now lower the veil on Clwyd
And toast with more appropriate fluid,
For what is here for you to miss
On your caravan park drinking pints of piss.

Alice?

Who's Alice?

Did she enjoy being felt by Saxons?

Ha! Ha! I guess you mean 'alive'.

I love it, whichever!

Actually, I now prefer 'Alice' - what a charming typo!

Cheers! John

Alice is obviously a relative of "Clammy Hans" :grin

.

as a former frequent visitor to Clwyd, I'm saddened that it has this effect on you Brett - is it really so bad nowadays?

Clammy Hans!

Oh, I weep with mirth!

Very good, Sue - yes it must be 'clammy Hans' to rhyme with 'caravans'.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, I hope this runs and runs! I feel weak at the knees . . . :grin

Do forgive us, Brett. Oh, Mercy!

Alice in Blunderland!

It was indeed supposed to be 'alive.'

I shall ammend it, though I'm glad you have had fun with it.

In answer to your question, Sue, this piece was addressed to the hundreds of visitors who seem content to spend night after night, month after month in either their caravan or the camp club (and we're not back to Frankie Howerd) when there is so much beauty to be enjoyed around them. It saddens me that people choose to visit such a beautiful place only not to appreciate it.

Cheers (fondest regards to Alice)

Pints of piss? Would that be Brain's bitter? Surely not the Marston's pedigree.

It's been that long since I had a pint on a holiday camp I can't recall, but they certainly didn't serve Brains or pedigree. I do remember their Guinness was bloody awful.
