I'd like to know if you do'nt live in Wales Salmidach what right you have come on to this forum and lecture us who do, pay our rates, support local businesses . Etc The Brynglas tunnels are an issue,  and a protracted debate ensured on different routes,  but a decision was made for financial reasons, as otherwise it would have cripled WAG's budget As  for the 20mlh limit, well we know its a good idea. Roy's point about landlord  regulation  was badly needed. Just look around Llanelli at the appalling state of rented housing in the centre of town. People who cannof afford to buy are now  either stuck on long council house lists , ir subjected too the vagaries of the private rented sector paying exorbitant rents .Some of the properties look uninhabitable..but sadly are! born and bred in felinfoel my old mucka and last time I checked this was a forum, perhaps you might want to look up what the word forum means. I visit regularly to see my family, and it's just another poor example of how badly Wales is being run under Drakeford and his muppoets.... I work part time in in a hotel in Cornwall and some guests started talking to me and when they heard my accent they asked what did I think of the 20mph zone. basically I said it was a farce and their reply was that they used to go on holiday regularly to Wales (twice, three times a year) and they won't any longer. So whilst you continue with your insular views, I'll continue to have mine.

Pimp as long as i can remember the welsh government have been talking about a Llandeilo by pass but they don't give a poo about road safety there where massive lorries trundle through within inches of pedestrians and Salmidach is entitled to his opinion as yours are on a variety of subjects in places you don't reside.

Many rented houses look uninhabitable because the tenants run them into the ground and under new guide lines you cant shift then for a year (at minimum) if you smash your rented house up

I read, but my memory might have sieved it, that Cornwall was one of the first places to take on extending the 20mph thing, albeit rolling it out rather then a sort of overnight change.

There's some seriously screwed up people driving...driving home from work there was a woman in a Renault Range rover copy who was swerving and driving on the M4 as if it was a race track....undercutting, not indicating and a total loon...drive 1,500 miles a month the standard of driving is absolutely insane......if someone indicates they want to pull out doesn'tgive them the right to just effing pull out with a cars length gap.......its even.worse when I'm on my motorbike....a Mercedes ponce cut me up on a roundabout and he didn't even acknowledge he was in the wrong....he was lucky I didn't boot his door in when I passed him in the traffic jam when I was riding up the middle of cars.

And before anyone has a pop you will fail your test if you don't filter or filteringin legal terms ....I followed a cop biker once who was screaming at car drivers who were closing the gap to stop him progressing....brilliant stuff when passed each other with thumbs up......so for me they are lunatics on the road I see it everyday. You’re right Lofty. There is a lot less patience on the road since Covid lockdowns ended. So much more selfishness exhibited. Do you have a helmet cam?  Good restraint on the door denting. In the eras of dashcams it’s a lot easier to be held accountable for it. Oh for an easily administered adhesive L-plate onto the window! In international hockey tournaments in Malaysia, you get a motorbike squad police escort from hotels to stadium and back. Too bad for the motorists if it’s rush hour in KL, many outriders boot the doors even though there’s nothing much the poor old motorist could do to get out of the way.
