Lowton Civic Friday 08 Aug Strange days in North Wales, last month has involved all sorts. Lifts failing to turn up for the Dome, plans to get to Wilton failing, people finding themselves at home on Saturdays nites watching tv with bemused families, a downward trend in vinyl going ons, reports of people staring at a phone all nite that never rings and so on.
