Morning surgery in Abergele, followed by an afternoon of campaigning in Rhos on Sea.Today, we concentrated on the Bryn Eglwys housing estate, which is one of the nicest I know. Built in the early 1950s around large greens, it is a model of town planning that would delight even Prince Charles, and has a tranquil feel.
The estate is the work of the celebrated local architect, Colwyn Foulkes, and is famous for its porches, which feature characters from the works of Lewis Carroll (one of my absolute favourite writers) and Edward Lear.
Shown above, complete with a jar of honey and perched in a pea-green boat, is the Pussycat from The Owl and the Pussycat.

David,
The nasty thing about this Government is that they have hit the "real " workers.
The lay abouts are fine, they get every thing for nothing, many even wangle a free disability car with most things paid for, some, I know for a fact even trade their disability car up, paying a little more out of their "own " pocket to even get a 4x4 car!
The top earners , yes they pay a lot in tax, but by and large still do not struggle, I have no problem with that, many have worked dam hard to get where they now are.
But the so called middle classes, I would argue the new "working " class have been hit badly.
We feel as if we are being penalised for most little things we have.
We have even been penalised for employing a small compliment of staff through higher paye etc.
The Pratt Darling even hinted the other evening that he will consider increasing the national minimum wage to make up for the cock up of the abolishing of the 10p tax band.
How can that be fair, they cock up and we the small business man may have to pay to rectify the cock up?
what are your views?
The 10p tax band affair has been a disaster for the Government. Brown calculated that nobody would notice that the tax bribe of the cut in basic rate was being paid for, effectively, by poorer workers.
Now that he has been rumbled, he is asking businesspeople, many of whom are strugging themselves, to pick up the tab. It is outrageous and will not put the issue to bed.
