This week we published a piece on Caerau in the Llynfi Valley which is one of several South Wales valleys communities that feature in the top 10 of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. We spoke to some of the people living in and supporting the community. Watch it here youtu.be/YT-u8Brnl7Q?...

Guto Knife BrΓ’n is a notorious trick or treater operating out of Gilwern. He's tagged so shouldn't be out after 8 tonight. Do not approach him and under no circumstances offer him any celebrations πŸ€¬πŸŽƒπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ ΏπŸ¦πŸ”ͺπŸ‘πŸ»

Residents of Dolgellau give thanks to the Gods as the clocks on their microwaves, car radios, ovens and VHS players all tell the correct time for the first time in 6 months.

Following the historic victory by Plaid Cymru at the Caerffili Senedd by-election on Thursday, the 23rd of October 2025, graffiti appeared on the shutters of Reform's temporary offices in the town. This is our homage.

A Reform spokesman appeared on S4C ahead of the Caerffili by-election. Why on earth would anyone vote for these?

Llanelli town centre as viewed from the roof of the old Tescos. The red colour is why the local rugby team are known as β€œThe Scarlets”. The clay used to make the tiles come from Trimsaran. They've been exported across the world for centuries, even as far as Italy!

So the Labour Government in Westminster expect immigrants to speak English to an A-level standard. I look forward to them reaching Welsh language GCSE standard here in Wales....

In the year 2030, this tin of Quality Street is Β£25, and a curly wurly can only be viewed under a microscope. Prime Minister Nigel Farage has sold the NHS to Burger King, which has shut down the medical bit and is focusing on the cafe by the front door. Bananas are only available on the black market

Apparently the rat has been offered a 5 year contract by Caerffili FC, the fee hasn't been revealed but he's expected to earn around 4 pounds of cheese a month.

Pistyll Rhaeadr is Wales' 3rd highest waterfall. Located near Llanrhaeadr y Mochnant (The church of the waterfall of the policemens stream). It was built in 1902 by local minister Dan Duwiol to attract people to his struggling chapel. The pump was originally powered by children.
