0:10:11 > 0:10:14- The mechanic said - I had a loose connection.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I think he was referring to the car.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- When I kick the bumper...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- ..nine times out of ten - the lights come on.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- So that's what I did - and the lights came on.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- 'Now what, pompous git?' - I said to myself.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- "Very clever," said the copper.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- "Now kick your windscreen. - Your tax has expired."

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- # I'll still find hope
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- # In a cottage whose door
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- # Faces the rocks of Aberdaron
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- # And the ocean's maddened roar
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- # And from my lonely cottage
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- # On the stormy cry of the wind
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- # I'll hear an echo - of the old rebellion
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- # That once enflamed my soul
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- # And I'll sing with the old passion
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- # As I look towards the door
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- # At the rocks of Aberdaron

0:55:21 > 0:55:24- # And everyone from all around
0:55:25 > 0:55:28- # Knows about their antics
0:55:32 > 0:55:36- # The passengers were a happy bunch
0:55:36 > 0:55:40- # Through the years

0:55:52 > 0:55:55- # Bring young lovers together?
0:56:00 > 0:56:03- # They carried pigs, - calves, dogs and hens
0:56:03 > 0:56:07- # Many times
0:56:07 > 0:56:10- # And window panes, paraffin
0:56:11 > 0:56:14- # And a bag of cement and gravel
0:56:15 > 0:56:19- # We teased a lot - and had innocent fun
0:56:19 > 0:56:22- # On the old country buses

0:56:31 > 0:56:34- # Of every colour

0:56:56 > 0:57:00- # If these buses
0:57:00 > 0:57:05- # Are no longer around
0:57:08 > 0:57:10- # Their romance
0:57:10 > 0:57:16- # Will always be remembered
0:57:23 > 0:57:27- # The chatter of the travellers
0:57:27 > 0:57:30- # Linked area to area

0:57:55 > 0:57:59- I queued for a bus one afternoon.
0:58:00 > 0:58:05- I noticed that the young girl - at the head of the queue...
0:58:05 > 0:58:07- ..wore a mini skirt.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10- It was tight, too.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13- I thought to myself...
0:58:13 > 0:58:18- ..she'll have varicose veins - before she's 25.
0:58:21 > 0:58:26- The skirt, if you can call - it a skirt, was so tight...
0:58:26 > 0:58:30- ..she couldn't lift her leg - to step on the bus.
0:58:31 > 0:58:34- The people behind her - were getting cross.
0:58:36 > 0:58:41- The girl decided to undo her zip.
0:58:43 > 0:58:46- She could move a little more.
0:58:47 > 0:58:50- She unzipped it a bit more.
0:58:51 > 0:58:55- She unzipped it three times.
0:58:55 > 0:58:58- On the fourth attempt...
0:58:58 > 0:59:01- ..the man behind her...
0:59:02 > 0:59:05- ..a farmhand from Cwm Cynllwyd...
0:59:07 > 0:59:10- ..held her waist.
0:59:10 > 0:59:15- He picked her up and put her - on the bus. Everybody went, "Oh!"
0:59:15 > 0:59:19- The girl went ballistic.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22- She shouted and swore at him.
0:59:22 > 0:59:26- "Pig! Dirty old man!"
0:59:26 > 0:59:29- He was a strapping, - six foot farmhand.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34- He had spade-like hands - and stank of silage.
0:59:37 > 0:59:42- "Pig, manhandling me like that! - We don't even know each other."
0:59:44 > 0:59:49- "I took it for granted that we - knew each other," said the farmhand.
0:59:50 > 0:59:54- "You unfastened my zip three times."
1:00:00 > 1:00:04- Next, we turn - to the younger generation...

1:01:14 > 1:01:19- # And Aberdaron Bay a rosy gold
1:01:23 > 1:01:28- # The seagulls crying high above
1:01:28 > 1:01:32- # I'd sit at Trwyn y Penrhyn
1:01:32 > 1:01:36- # For many a long evening, - until all the colours
1:01:36 > 1:01:41- # Capture the rocks of Gwylan, - the waves and hills
1:01:46 > 1:01:50- # I'd paint a path of fine pearls
1:01:50 > 1:01:54- # Over the stormy Sound - to the enchanted isle
1:01:55 > 1:01:58- # The sunset's rays - in the depths of the picture
1:01:59 > 1:02:04- # Show the blue-grey mysterious isle
1:02:08 > 1:02:13- # If I were an artist, - I'd paint a picture
1:02:13 > 1:02:17- # Of the wondrous sunset - over Pen Llyn
1:02:17 > 1:02:25- # But no-one sees Bardsey - from the shore
1:02:26 > 1:02:28- # If I were an artist
1:02:28 > 1:02:30- # If I were an artist
1:02:30 > 1:02:34- # If I were an artist
1:02:35 > 1:02:39- # If I were an artist, I said
1:02:44 > 1:02:53- # Ooh aah #

1:08:10 > 1:08:14- It was only two weeks - after Snowdon was created
1:08:14 > 1:08:17- I know my facts, I'm ready to swear
1:08:18 > 1:08:23- I'm only a few years - younger than them
1:08:24 > 1:08:28- At the time, - everyone had a lot of hair
1:08:29 > 1:08:33- Two pennies had value - and two shillings were a fortune
1:08:33 > 1:08:36- Baked potatoes - were healthy and cheap
1:08:37 > 1:08:41- And everyone travelled - on the Old Country Buses
1:08:42 > 1:08:47- There were no iPads, - Kindles or mobile phones
1:08:47 > 1:08:51- To send a message, - you had to Send A Goldfinch
1:08:52 > 1:08:56- There were Owls everywhere, - singing Too-wit, Too-woo
1:08:56 > 1:09:00- And the Hogia had moustaches - as long as didgeridoos
1:09:00 > 1:09:05- When The Night Was Long - and all they did was sing
1:09:05 > 1:09:09- Before the days - of the Young Fellow From Llyn
1:09:09 > 1:09:14- Maradona was only a dream, - clothes were rustic
1:09:15 > 1:09:19- Mari Linor was a baby, - and the Blue Tit was blue
1:09:20 > 1:09:24- When there was a rumour - the Hogia were retiring
1:09:25 > 1:09:29- I heard there was - a Girl On The Quay, Crying
1:09:30 > 1:09:34- In Cardiganshire, - everyone's blinds were down
1:09:35 > 1:09:40- Waves of tears - broke on the Rocks Of Aberdaron
1:09:41 > 1:09:45- Nursery rhymes - turned to blues overnight
1:09:45 > 1:09:50- Because of Myrddin, old El, - and him, Arwel Jones
1:09:51 > 1:09:53- Half a century!
1:09:54 > 1:09:56- It's well worth repeating

1:11:11 > 1:11:17- It was very late when they headed - home down the valley to Llanberis.
1:11:18 > 1:11:20- In the dark, one said...
1:11:21 > 1:11:23- "..I have to go."
1:11:25 > 1:11:27- The only handy place...
1:11:28 > 1:11:32- ..was to go through a gate - into a cemetery.
1:11:33 > 1:11:38- They both went in, thinking - no-one there would complain.
1:11:40 > 1:11:44- One of them managed to lose - her bloomers in the dark.
1:11:44 > 1:11:49- Despite much searching, - she couldn't find it.
1:11:49 > 1:11:55- In the meantime, the other one - sat on something sharp.
1:11:57 > 1:11:59- Her cry echoed across the valley.
1:11:59 > 1:12:03- Anyway, they carried on home, - not walking very straight.
1:12:03 > 1:12:07- The next morning, - their husbands met for a cuppa.
1:12:07 > 1:12:11- One said, "The wife won't - go out for a long time again.
1:12:12 > 1:12:16- "She came home last night - without her bloomers."
1:12:16 > 1:12:19- "That's nothing!" - said the other husband.
1:12:20 > 1:12:23- "I took my wife a cup - of tea this morning.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26- "I pulled the quilt back.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29- "There was a small, square card...
