I notice that other website is running a Christmas competition for the Golden DonQui award. I must say it’s a field packed with thoroughbreds, but, once I’d seen them in the parade ring, it didn’t take me long to decide on the likely winner.

Having had time to study the webcast of last Thursday’s county council meeting, I can now provide an accurate account of what was said by Cllr David Pugh when he challenged my claim that the area of rendering (125 sq m) in the tender for 25 Dimond Street Pembroke Dock had been grossly overmeasured compared...
