-The salon doors are open again

-despite the heavy snow.

-There's plenty

-on the customers' minds once again.

-Running to Spar to buy every loaf

-and pint of milk. Makes me angry!

-I totally oppose that.

-We should be living to work,

-not working to live.

-No snow in Cardigan but plenty

-of dangers in Llinos' salon.

-You've just stabbed me

-with scissors.

-It's enough to turn your hair white.

-Are you trying to say I'm gullible?

-Are you trying to say I'm gullible?

-

-No!

-This is life changing.

-The weather here has been horrific.

-I've been stuck in the house

-since Sunday, until this morning.

-We've had a lot of snow.

-Yes. It was white

-towards the summits.

-It took me half an hour

-to clear the car.

-Half an hour?

-It was that deep on the roof.

-I use a CD. The CD cover.

-A fish slice is better.

-It's more flexible.

-Plastic fish slice.

-De-Icer.

-De-Icer.

-

-That's just a waste of money.

-On the first day, it's all

-white and lush, you go sledging.

-Nice.

-We built a snowman yesterday.

-One large, one small.

-I didn't have enough

-to make a snowball.

-Day 2, oh, this is a hindrance.

-There's no mail, you can't drive.

-My staff couldn't come in today

-because of the snow.

-Day 3,

-oh, my God, get me out of here.

-It's like cabin fever.

-# Who's coming over the hill

-# Very, very quietly #

-There was cabin fever

-in Caernarfon...

-..judging by the sound

-of this barbershop quartet...

-..but it wouldn't be Christmas

-without the perfect gift.

-# Next to the large chimney

-# Sion Corn, Sion Corn #

-What's your favourite

-Christmas gift?

-I had a doll

-when I was a young girl.

-Did she speak?

-Did she speak?

-

-Not in the '60s!

-I had a statue of the sheep I keep.

-So that's your best present?

-Probably.

-Probably.

-

-Football boots. Football kit.

-Footballs.

-I had dolls. I had Dolly Surprise.

-I remember that Christmas,

-my brother was horrible to me.

-He liked dolls but he couldn't have

-more since he was five years older.

-He cranked the doll's arms,

-its hair grew and he cut it off.

-You've got to laugh.

-Him and his brother,

-they're both gay.

-Their parents wonder why they're gay

-after giving them dolls as presents.

-I didn't like dollies.

-I used to dress the cat up...

-..put it in the pram

-and take it out for a walk.

-Not the doll?

-Not the doll, the cat!

-I got a rocking horse.

-I enjoyed the rocking horse.

-Very posh, Caryl.

-A Lone Ranger

-cowboy hat and waistcoat.

-I used to go out shooting

-with the boys.

-Who was Tonto?

-My brother.

-My brother.

-

-We didn't get many presents.

-There was no money around.

-The biggest thing I remember having

-was a box of toffees.

-It was a metal tin

-with a picture on the tin.

-You thought

-it was something incredible.

-It was only toffees in the end.

-A fortnight before Christmas,

-when I was about 12 years old...

-..the courier delivered a bike.

-The bike was a Christmas present.

-Mam and Dad weren't home.

-I took the bike in and the courier

-said, "Pretend you haven't seen it."

-The courier said that?

-The courier said that?

-

-I grabbed the bike and away I went!

-I got the bike

-a fortnight before Christmas.

-What do you want for Christmas?

-What do you want for Christmas?

-

-Company.

-It would be nice

-to have some company.

-At night, when everyone's gone home

-and nothing's going on...

-..the television's boring,

-you're on your own.

-No there's nothing worse

-than being lonely at Christ,as.

-It's likely that loneliness can

-seriously damage your health.

-It's a struggle

-if you're lonely over Christmas.

-I work across North Wales

-through my chaplaincy...

-..from Wrexham

-down to Machynlleth and Tywyn.

-I work most of the time

-in Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-We have a Christmas tree

-in the chapel in Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-It's called the Blue Christmas Tree.

-It's where people leave the names

-of loved ones who've passed away.

-People they miss over Christmas.

-We hang them on the tree.

-The idea comes from the Elvis song,

-Blue Christmas.

-Fantastic.

-That's given me Goosebumps.

-The Adopt a Grandmother idea

-went on a few years ago.

-If you had an older person

-living in your street...

-..you'd invite them in to have

-dinner with you and the children.

-That was a fantastic idea.

-We're lucky in town -

-there's a gang of people...

-..who organise lunch

-for the elderly.

-People who don't have an opportunity

-to celebrate Christmas.

-They have dinner, there's

-entertainment, they play bingo.

-They get bags of food to take home

-with them - that's fantastic.

-It just shows the strength

-of the community in Caernarfon.

-I remember one year, I put Pete's

-name down to do Meals on Wheels.

-When we got the dates back,

-where were we?

-Meals on Wheels, Christmas Day.

-But.. I felt... I was like...

-I really felt like

-I'd helped someone...

-..who was home alone

-and couldn't cook.

-We arrived home and I wondered...

-..how many people were eating

-Christmas dinner on their own?

-There are a lot

-of lonely people around.

-I delivered papers

-to Ysbyty Eryri this morning.

-There are some ill people there.

-What I believe, and I don't

-believe strongly in many things...

-..but it's important to visit

-the elderly all year round.

-When something happens, everyone

-turns up to the chapel at the end.

-They need to be visited

-when they're alive.

-Let's have some good news

-as we approach Christmas.

-Recent figures show that Wales

-leads the way in recycling rubbish.

-Do you recycle?

-Do you recycle?

-

-Oh, yes.

-Me too. I feel strongly about it.

-Do you recycle?

-Do you recycle?

-

-Yes.

-Ask Carys if she recycles.

-Do you recycle?

-Do you recycle?

-

-No, I'm really bad.

-I just put it all in the same bag.

-Do you recycle, Huw?

-Do you recycle, Huw?

-

-No.

-What do you do?

-What do you do?

-

-I put it all in the black bag.

-He puts it in the black bag

-and throws it out.

-The black bags go to a landfill.

-You know that.

-You try and cut down on those.

-By 2050,

-rubbish will be a thing of the past.

-There'll ne no general waste at all.

-How's that going to happen?

-Who knows?

-That's impossible.

-Nothing's impossible.

-The same principle

-relates to your house.

-If you move house,

-you don't bin your old house.

-Someone else gets it instead.

-It's so important.

-We have to start looking after

-the planet.

-It's not just for us.

-It's for people who come after us.

-I'm proud that Wales

-are in the Top 3.

-It means

-we're doing something right.

-I don't have a compost bin.

-That could attract rats.

-I can't stand those.

-You don't want food stinking out

-the house after Huw's eaten fish.

-Down the toilet it goes.

-Nothing's meant to go

-down the toilet...

-..apart from poops,

-pee-pee and toilet paper.

-An important message for men,

-wrap up warm in this cold weather.

-It's official. Men suffer more

-than women when it comes to flu.

-Have you heard about the man flu?

-It's been proven

-that men suffer more than women.

-They're weak,

-they have a low pain threshold.

-When they're ill, they can't cope.

-They're not as hard was we are.

-They're not as hard was we are.

-

-No.

-It's worse for a man than a woman.

-Yes, that's totally correct.

-Definite.

-Definite.

-I had a dose of man flu

-a couple of weeks ago. Oh, my God!

-I lost my voice.

-I was in bed for a couple of days.

-It was horrible.

-Oh, I'm ill!

-They have a runny nose

-or chapped lips.

-"Go and get me some Lemsip

-and Lypsyl."

-"I can't go out!"

-Unfortunately, women don't

-understand what we have to suffer.

-No, nonsense. Flu is flu.

-Everyone gets the same.

-So many men bunk off work

-with the "flu"!

-"Cool down,

-it's a cough and a sore throat."

-Take a Lemsip and go home.

-I get man flu regular.

-It almost killed me once.

-Serious.

-Serious.

-

-You almost died?

-I had a real dose of influenza,

-Hib influenza.

-Really, I had a shadow on my lung.

-I was as sick as a dog.

-I thought I was going to die.

-It sounds horrible.

-Real flu is a killer. Seriously.

-There's a seriously strong strain

-on the way.

-It happens every 80-100 years.

-The last time it happened

-was in 1918.

-World War I lasted

-from 1914 to 1918.

-Millions were killed.

-I think it was Asian flu.

-Within a month, it killed double

-the number of fatalities in WWI.

-Mam used to rub me

-with goose fat and an onion.

-She'd wrap me in brown paper

-and I was fine for the winter.

-Then popped him in the oven!

-Then popped him in the oven!

-

-In the oven!

-At 175 degrees!

-There's plenty more discussion

-and laughter in Part 2.

-Stay tuned.

-Welcome back and there's always

-a warm welcome in Wales.

-According to Rough Guide...

-..Wales is fifth in the list

-of countries to visit in 2018.

-Fantastic.

-That'll bring some money in.

-Now that we've come out

-of the European Unit with Brexit.

-Wales?

-God's country.

-# Green, green grass of home #

-Think about the countries

-of the world.

-China, Australia, America, even

-places in Africa, they're stunning.

-We're fifth out of all those.

-We have mountains, we have a

-wonderful coastline, rivers, lakes.

-There are amazing places.

-North Wales.

-Even Cardiff, it has nice shops.

-You have the bay by the sea.

-Look at the coastline.

-Is Cardiff by the sea?

-Yes, Carys. Cardiff Bay!

-The bay is the sea near the city!

-I didn't know that.

-I thought the sea stopped

-in Aberaeron!

-"I thought the sea stopped

-in Aberaeron!"

-I'm so stupid!

-The Beacons is great for walkers.

-What's No.1?

-What's No.1?

-

-America. New York.

-New Zealand or Canada?

-Great Barrier Reef.

-Amsterdam.

-Great Wall of China.

-No, no, no. Newcastle.

-New... castle.

-Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

-Not Newcastle Emlyn.

-Newcastle?

-Newcastle?

-

-No! I really didn't expect that.

-Serious? Because of that

-Geordie Shore programme probably.

-Have you been to Newcastle?

-Have you been to Newcastle?

-

-I've Googled it.

-This one's starting to choke me now.

-We might be fifth in the world but

-what about the shape of the planet?

-According to some,

-our planet is oval.

-Is the world round?

-Is this a question?

-Is the world round?

-Well... probably.

-We'll say it is.

-What?

-What?

-

-It's oval.

-I haven't heard that.

-It's a little bit like a rugby ball.

-Not totally but just a little.

-It's not perfectly round.

-No, it's not.

-What shape do you think it is?

-What shape do you think it is?

-

-Round.

-I don't know

-if I should believe you or not.

-How oval is it?

-Is it obvious that it's oval?

-Is it like an egg or an Easter egg?

-They're both the same shape.

-They're both the same shape.

-

-An egg is more square at the bottom.

-They say it moves

-but I don't think it does.

-Why do you think it goes dark

-at night and then light?

-The world spins around.

-What I always say,

-if the world is round...

-..do you think someone

-would have fallen off by now?

-Oh, my God.

-On top of Snowdon, look out to sea.

-You can see the curve

-over the horizon. It's plain to see.

-People have been to Mars.

-They've landed on the moon.

-Surely they could see

-the shape of the world.

-Oval-shaped world.

-The wife thinks I live there

-already, I watch so much rugby.

-It's expensive

-to watch rugby these days.

-Ticket prices for the Six Nations

-have angered our customers.

-Oh, my gosh,

-the cheapest ticket I could find...

-..bearing in mind the seat

-was up in the gods...

-..up in the gods!

-It was a mile from the pitch.

-It was in the back of beyond.

-95!

-Will you watch the internationals?

-We're taking the grandson

-to watch Wales v Italy.

-We bought tickets yesterday.

-100 you can kind of justify.

-Anything over that, no, thanks.

-I went once, two years ago.

-Ireland were playing Wales.

-I paid 250 for tickets.

-I bought four tickets.

-Have you got a ticket?

-I have tickets

-for the Scottish game.

-How much were they?

-I don't know but I've booked them.

-I think they're 30-40.

-Where did they come from?

-Where did they come from?

-

-The rugby club.

-When you get there, you don't go

-to Cardiff just to watch the game.

-All they sell are pies

-and hot dogs without onions.

-No onions?

-That's not a hot dog. 6!

-It's a working class game.

-It's meant to be.

-It's a corporate game now.

-It's a corporate game now.

-

-That's what's unfair about it.

-People who watch rugby every week

-and want to take children can't go.

-They can't afford it.

-Why pay so much

-when you can watch it on telly?

-You can watch it for free on telly.

-And see more.

-They might have a shock one day.

-At the end of the day,

-prices won't come down.

-People could decide to say

-enough is enough and stop going.

-You need cash in the bank to attend

-a game at the Principality Stadium.

-With banks closing

-across the country...

-..how easy is it

-to get to your money?

-Don't talk about those.

-It's a nuisance.

-There were three banks in Tregaron

-and all three have closed.

-Lloyds is closing next year.

-They've also said Nat West

-will close.

-Two in town are closing

-and one will be left.

-We've gone from five to one.

-Where's the nearest one?

-Newcastle Emlyn has closed.

-Aberaeron has closed.

-Llandysul has closed.

-Criccieth has closed.

-Two in Port have closed.

-Penygroes has closed.

-It's such a shame

-and a huge loss to Ceredigion.

-There's only one Nat West

-in the whole of Ceredigion.

-You have around 80,000 people

-living in this area.

-80,000 people aren't enough

-for them.

-I was listening to Prime Minister's

-Questions earlier.

-They raised it with Theresa May.

-"What are you going to do about the

-closure of all the rural branches?"

-She replied, "It's a corporate

-decision Nat West have to make."

-When I'm in the shop,

-I take card payments.

-I do internet banking myself.

-In the shop, 35-40% of my business

-is on a card...

-..and the rest is all cash.

-I work in an agricultural shop

-and we take cash from farmers.

-Every time we want

-to bank that cash...

-..we travel every day

-or every other day.

-There's nowhere - we have to travel

-half an hour to the nearest bank.

-We lose half the day travelling.

-It's nonsense.

-I go into the bank to pay my

-credit card bill or deposit money.

-They always say use the machine.

-I say no, I don't want to do that.

-Do you go online?

-Do you go online?

-

-Online banking? Yes.

-People like you

-have closed our banks!

-They say go on line.

-I don't understand things like that.

-When you get to my age...

-..you don't want to worry

-about things like that.

-Do you do on line banking, girls?

-Do you do on line banking, girls?

-

-No.

-Nor me and I'm 32.

-Our internet's too slow.

-I think it's a way

-to get rid of cash.

-That's where they're taking us -

-cashless society.

-I don't have much internet.

-Does it work in your house?

-It's poor where we are.

-They talk about technology

-all the time...

-..but the bottom line is profit.

-Society is more important

-than money.

-Every time.

-We should be living to work,

-not working to live.

-With banks closing down...

-..the best hope is a visit

-from Three Wise Men...

-..with plenty of gold,

-frankincense and myrrh.

-A lot of people are saying

-there are less Nativity plays...

-..because of different religions

-in school.

-I don't like the idea

-of not having a Nativity play.

-Some schools don't stage

-a Nativity play...

-..because of

-the different religions.

-I totally oppose that.

-Everyone who comes to live here

-know that in this country...

-..Christianity

-is the biggest religion.

-We shouldn't forget that.

-I know there are different

-religions in this country...

-..but we're not stopping others.

-You have to respect everyone.

-Everyone's different.

-You're not forcing them to believe

-what you believe in.

-It's a part of life.

-Most of us are Christians.

-In the large cities in London

-and even down in Cardiff...

-..there's such a mix of religions.

-It's not easy, is it?

-Without the birth of Christ...

-..there'd be no Christmas

-and there'd be no Santa.

-It was Jesus' Resurrection,

-or is Christmas his birthday?

-It's when he was born,

-in a stable, in Bethlehem.

-Christmas and religion aren't as

-interlinked as they were years ago.

-I think the Church's work is to

-put religion back into Christmas.

-We're Jehovah's Witness -

-we don't celebrate Christmas.

-My father always told me not to

-open the door to people like you.

-You'd be surprised

-what you could learn.

-You'd know why

-we don't celebrate Christmas.

-Will you be watching

-a Nativity play?

-Tomorrow night.

-Tomorrow night.

-

-Nice.

-Jesus was born in the stable.

-Is there room in the inn?

-Yes. And there's a hot tub!

-I've been Joseph.

-And a shepherd.

-I was Herod once too.

-Who's that then?

-Who's that then?

-

-A king.

-I was Joseph. Gemma Boswell was Mary

-and I hated her.

-I wanted to be Mary!

-I think I was one of the Wise Men.

-You'd never catch me

-acting as a Wise Man.

-I'm not wise enough.

-I think I was Joseph.

-Yes, I was Joseph.

-Not enough boys in the class,

-was there?

-Not enough boys in the class.

-The angels in the gallery

-came down on a zip wire.

-They missed!

-One angel came down from the gallery

-and she didn't stop!

-She went straight through a window.

-The local farmer,

-a big shot elder in chapel...

-..he'd brought sheep in

-for the shepherds.

-There was a ram in the middle

-and it started some hanky panky!

-Total chaos. It's time to close

-the curtain on another week.

-Until next week, goodnight.
