Post by: griffithsm00 on August 13, 2009, 07:16:11 PM
Myself (mark), Haydn and Sam have been to Abersoch, north wales today. we were snapped by a magazine called "sensation". We were there for about 2 hours and in that time we seemed to entertain the passers by.

You guys are too critical. Since when do newspapers and magazines get all the facts right anyway? They dont care, its marketing and whatever makes a good article is all they care about lol.

Personally considering this was the 3rd time the north wales guys have ever been out, I think its a really great article and they are doing a smashing job :)

Thanks for posting it up Mark, I mean Matt lol. Wait whats wrong with Matt??

It's positive, thats the most important thing. If the facts arn't 100% perfect who cares. What is important is that it is interesting and the tools are there for people to find more (accurate :D ) info :)

Well done :)
