My teenage daughter was asked to sum up my taste in music.

Her answer;

1) Sad songs

2) Songs about Wales

3) Sad songs about Wales.

This is sad..

If you've ever watched Christmas TV, you'll have seen this; Scrooge's grave from the 80's Christmas Carol movie, filmed in Shrewsbury

The crew left it on location at St Chads where it's been visited by tourists for 40 years.

Until now

Inexplicably destroyed .. apparently by vandals

Oh no! I always used to bring the kids to see it when we were visiting over Christmas.
I can’t get my head around why any would do that.
