victoriana or something more modern

below is a copy of the fast becoming famous article that apperaed in the Guardian! the saturday that wales rugby won the grand slam.
It claims that llandrindod is the party town of the WHOLE of BRITAIN!
with more drinking spots per head then any other town.
The question then if this article is to be believed is does the council support this claim and the fact there are going to be drunken revellers marauding the streets as thats what happens in the big cities and towns.
what about the towns genteel victorian image.
its going to be a tough one for Cllr Tampin and the boys as alcohol and all that it brings with it is economiclly viable, or will they be setting up exclusion drinking zones or is that just for local alcoholics who have seemed to have dissapeared from temple gardens of late.

Why Wales is on a high, and it's not just the Rugby

Singing sensation

Duffy, currently No1 in the singles charts with Mercy and at the top of the album rankings with Rockferry, is from Gwynedd.

Sienna Miller's moving in

Yesterday's Mirror quoted the actor as saying that she "loves Wales". "I think it is the most beautiful country in the world," she "told pals".

The place to party

Llandrindod Wells (pop: 5,024) was recently named the best place to go out in all of Britain, having more pubs, wine bars, restaurants and takeaways per capita than any other town.

Unmissable sights

It's not just the castles: the National Slate Museum in Llanberis is home to the largest working waterwheel in mainland Britain.

Boxing and sheepdog trials

Last year Gavin Rees became Wales' 10th boxing world champion. Other recent sporting achievements include Aled Owen winning the 2007 International Sheepdog Trials with his faithful partner Roy.
