      In a way, i'm glad they didn't because it added an element to the vlog but on the other hand, would would be able to get down there in a wheelchair or even with a pram so they need to sort it out.

I am impressed you walked all the way to Newport! When we were 15 we used to walk down to castleton, turn right and find a pub where we could get beer and play shove 'apenny! Marshhfield was all reclaimed land, The Rheims?, I think thats what the (new name ) Gwent levels are. Port of Call selling Courage Beer I think it was?

    In the late 80s the welsh government ploughed millions of pounds onto a facility which gave a massive grant to the LG company to make monitors and tv screens. I dont think it was even fully operational when LG pulled the plug. And Newport was left with a big huge empty factory propped up by tax payers!! The radiator factory moved into a portion of the premises but i think they have since gone. Hence a big road surplus to requirements!!
