agree it's crap have defended it
Lovely singing, tatty streets.
The Jackos have the choirs and a proper theatre. Outside looks knackered.
Rhosllannerchrugog is the Rhos to anyone who wants to finish a sentence. Locals are Jackos, the choirs are excellent, and the Stiwt is a proper theatre in the old miners' institute. Trouble is you can't park near it, the car parks are falling apart and the signs and benches look knackered.
Something's usually getting smashed, and the rain turns up on 150 days a year. There are 9 pubs, mind, so the choir's never short of a warm-up.
