      Nightmare Les , but here’s the thing.. The guy is laughing because you put your foot down.. sometimes you have too on motorways when passing junctions and slip roads to allow traffic into the flow , it’s either that or hit the brakes. Police usually allow this as long as you return to the speed limit (ish) .

    The owner said on BBC Wales that he did not own the Pier and he only looks after it. The newscaster quoted him as the owner, as does Google search. Confused yet? Owner must have buildings insurance otherwise he could not operate as a Trader. He will also have to have public liability and business insurance. So frankly, setting up a gofundme account for £250k to expect the general public to pay for the damage is not in my opinion entirely nor really ethical. Owner also bought the hole in the ground for £2m next to the pier to stop developers building on it. (Former Pavilion Theatre). I can't go to the vets and get my dog treated, then ask the public to pay my excess for my insurance or for the treatment. Owner has enough money, Owner is a millionaire, I think it's sad what has happened to the pier and all, but I don't agree it's right in asking the public to donate in order to pay for the damage. People can hardly make ends meet these days as it is. I think this is fair comment. I live here and I personally think it's a matter of ethics and principles, (Would the pier company step up and help pay for your car if it got squashed by a tree)? No chance, therefore, after what I have factually seen and heard, personally I won't be donating. The Pier Company can pay their own excess, and where I ask please, in stone is it officially written that a wrecked kiosk and roof repairs for the toilets will cost £250k? Not right this man, in my opinion, asking to take further from the community and the general public.

      It costs the owner a fortune in maintenace every year.! I used to work in the theatre that was burnt down in the 50``s and 60`s.

      @@glyn-j1p I put the same comment down on the pier go fund me page that Mr Williams set up for £250k, it has now been removed and has other comments sharing the same view or opinion, you can now only give your thoughts if you donate to the page, which is somewhat ironic really. If you pay £1-2m for a relic, you can expect to reap the costs that responsibility involves on all aspects, not endeavour to scavenge £250k of the public. Is immoral if you ask me, particularly from somebody who's net worth is 6-£7m. Pay your own insurance excess and expenses and stop taking from the community. 👎😕

    Amazing video mate. I just felt like I was walking there myself. Glad the damage isn’t worse than I expected. Llandudno pier is very special place. So many memories made there back then 🥹. Really appreciate every video you take for us. Your channel is the best.

    What the owners thought they were going to lose was their cash cow, they don't care about the actual pier, if they did, they'd have spent a bit of money on it instead of take take take... Now they set up a go fund me to fix it???? It's in a state and they need to get in their own pockets to fix it, not beg for money they don't need!

    • @BusDriverWalking
      @BusDriverWalking 12 днів тому

      Don’t know about there financial arrangements and what they’ve spent or not spent on the pier. I do know they have invested on it though in recent years, again I don’t know how much !! But , at the end of the day it’s a business and they expect a return on it. That’s how it works isn’t it ?

    • @richards200
      @richards200 12 днів тому

      @BusDriverWalking you're correct, that's exactly how it works, but if you don't invest enough money in your business then it stagnates or fails, or in this case, falls apart. When you have the sort of money and resources that the owners have, you don't go begging for the locals to pay to fix things. They know what the pier means to Llandudno and they're using that to their advantage, just seems a bit out of order to me
