What's Rhyl Like?

Never been

Not been for over 20 years, It was shit then as I recall, so I can't see it being any better.

May I enquire as to why do you ask?

One Rhyl fact

 

It is Neil Whatmore's favourite holiday resort.

 

Or at least it was in August 1978 when it was "Spotlight on Neil Whatmore" in the Bolton v Bristol City programme.

I think it might have been tongue in cheek however because his toughest opponent was- the boss over contracts.

and full of scousers

Me and Gubbins used to go every Thursday night on the train from Llandudno, when we worked in those parts. It can be as rough as old boots, but if you like chippys, pubs,slappers, and bingo, it will be right up your street. :roll:

So, like Bolton, then?

Must admit "The Dudley Arms" near the station used to be OK, landlord came from St Helens, and "MAD DOG" the resident punk, was a good source of amusement.

Good, glad I've never been, sounds like a downmarket Blackpool. I never need to visit now that I've got the gen.

full of smack and crackheads

Was Rhyl the one Mike Harding described as a graveyard with fairy lights?

There is no better place to go if you have a tub of two pences

its crap; however, if you have young kids, then its f*cking twice as crap,but if you want to go for a nice meal and a beer in pleasant company and surroundings,then its twice as crap again. they even had the courtesy to put up a moving observation tower (which is crap) so you can see how crap it is from the air.

so in summary, its crap.

Can I ask? Where were you going on holiday to have to travel through Rhyl?

not the worse, but others dont advertise themselves out to be holiday resorts or even places for a day trip, then let you get there to find f*ck all only a run down fair and a load of scouse gypos selling sh*t, and a swimming pool that was shut. oh and a boating lake with no f*cking boats, and pubs that stop doing food at 2pm.

i went for a day out with kids last year in august because i'd not been for years, and ended up getting back in the car and going to Blackpool instead.
