Llangollen is a wonderful town with stunning scenery and history, beautiful sights and some lovely people but it is badly let down by the growing chav culture. Some of the 15-40 year old chav yokels need shooting! Of course some of the 15-40 year olds are nice, genuine people, but these are hard to spot amongst the vast gathering of scum. The true scum is also a quandary as they give the impression initially that they are nice people, it’s not as easy to differentiate as it is in the cities. Be on your guard until you know for sure.
Favorite hang outs are the infamous D-bar, where there are at least 6 fights every weekend (and a sticky floor with a definite vomit aroma), outside the Spar shop or Town Hall, and The Bull Inn, Llan’s chav central. You could shoot coke into your eyeballs & go crazy with a machete in the Bull & you’d still be allowed back the next day, & able to join the pool tournament & carry out some Red Stripe at the end of the night. When the D-bar is closed the Sun or the Star are favored hang outs, then it’s always back to someone’s pad for getting stoned & watching cartoons. The chav girls fight daily over who nicked their Karaoke song or who looked at their chav boyfriends, who they never seem to be able to keep for longer than a couple of weeks. The chav boys fight over gay rumors, lager, drugs, and chav ex girlfriends. The chavs of Llan are slightly different to those in the rest of the country – they think they are hard but fist fighting outside the kebab house every Friday at midnight is their limit. Then there is the obligatory jumping on & squashing of the traffic island bollard outside the old Grapes, always hilarious. Llangollen is also a major drugs capital of North Wales. It’s permanently snowing. But you can see why they’re always smoking / snorting / popping something though – with a life that dull anyone would be driven to daily drugs. The police can’t handle the chavs at all and regularly let people just go on their merry way, whatever they may have done. They don’t have pimped up cars, designer clothes or flash gadgets but they spend their money on Red Stripe, Vodka Milkshake, puff & Charlie. Their favorite pastime is the rumor mill. They’ll say they hate it but with the same breath tell you how they heard that the bloke they just use for his Playstation, was caught being bummed by ‘the only gay in this villaaaage’ in the wine bar or how their ex girlfriend’s Dad is psycho & so-&-so’s pregnant. There’s a group of girls we’ll call the bitch brigade. They are all best friends one day, not speaking the next, best friends again the next. They have faces like slapped arses & arses like small countries. They are incredibly insecure & instantly hate any other female, they know that the blokes, who they treat like shit but are desperate to hold on to, can do much better than the sour faced psychotic slappers they are, so solve the problem by being even bigger bitches than usual, quite an amazing feat actually! You’d think that the majority of the chavs would live on Pengwern Estate, although there are a few classic examples there (one they call ‘The Mouth’ springs to mind – druggie, alchie, foul-mouthed, psychologically screwed up & so on & so forth) the main players live around the town, although it’s hard to keep track as they tend to argue so much with each other that they move around often. I would highly recommend visiting Llangollen for the Eisteddfod, the balloon festival, the scenery, the walks, the steam rail, the river, the canal, the Horseshoe pass, Dinas Bran etc, but when it comes to evening entertainment beyond a meal, forget it! It will ruin your wonderful memories of an otherwise beautiful place. Maybe a quick drink in the Wynnstay, but leave before the chav crowd gathers to get into, or go to the kebab house after, the D-bar.

Hey mate, f**k-all to do in Llan? You must be blind to all that wonderful scenery around it, then. Of course, I’ll assume in your case walking up hills isn’t fun to do (and you’re not alone, more fool the lot of you). For many people, it is fun. They tend to be interesting people, not just boring old farts! Then again, when it’s raining…
Shame, as the buzz of endorphins from the exercise is clean, good, and free. You could also take acid when hillwalking, as there’s not much dangerous terrain, and the only living mammals you’ll notice are sheep -who tend not to give off bad vibes, unlike some of the out-of-townsfolk. SOME. A lot of the non-natives are there for the beauty and respect the place fully. Then there’s people who come into town on the weekends solely to get pissed, as it’s less shitty than doing it in the ugly, boring concrete surrounds of Wrexham town centre. They might be described as chavs. I dunno, I steer clear.
The place is generally pretty pleasant, you don’t really need money to have a good time and it’s RIDICULOUS to call it a chav town when you have everything between there and Chester, inclusively, to pick-on…
Who the f**k do you think are? how about you come into the bull, and say those things to the regulars? we had a drug about 2 years back and they found nothing. We had a drug raid last year….they found nothing. So get off your high horse and tell us where you live? Yeah there is chavs here, there is anywhere you go. There is drugs here….and there is anywhere else you go. So lets see you come in the bull and say these things….you wont live very long
I havnt a clue where this place is but i dont like it?as a matter of fact i hate it………………………it f**king stinks.
i do live here you no !!!!
asif someones wrote this about llan :/ haha ive lived in llan for about 2 years now and whoevers wrote this has got it all rong!! im a teenager and yeah we do hang out by spar now and again and some of us do have the odd drink and smoke but isnt that what all teenagers do anywere i think whoever wrote this should tell us abit about there home town yeahh

and just saying ive lived in llan all me life so since ive lived here 14years i should no what type my own town is :p
Sounds like the average NORMAL town to me
always folk are as different as chalk and cheese, but the mix works somehow… and of course there are always those that are ‘superior’ to the norm or just grumpy old gits, and complain about anything they dont understand or are not party to.
Get a life *grins* ………. it’s too short anyway to be miserable.
Interesting… seems you got as far away from LLan as possible???
before issuing such damning statements as you have. Perhaps you should state your name too, that would be fair…
My name… Roland… find me when you return, the discussion should be quite chav *grins*.
Stokes your off your head mate.yes llangollen is dull and it is boring but i dont see where these chavs are coming from.The out of towners as you call them are the chavs.and no one liked the d-bar anyway it was a hole.CKTK
I went to Llangollen a few years back for a boozy weekend in a mates static caravan. There is absolutely f**k all to do there. We ended up doing acid just because we were so bored. We went to the D bar and openly questioned about why we only wanted soft drinks (the acid you see). The place is the size of a shoebox and you could tell that everybody was wearing their best clothes (pastel shirts for the boys, next to nothing for the girls). The place kicked out at about midnight as well. It would have been funny had it not been so desperately sad.
