So a lot of people say there's nothing in Pontypool.
You've got the beautiful park and the library.
You've got some bits and bobs by you going on.
You have the police.
You have the police.
And believe me, compared to Blackwood Police, they're brilliant up here.
You might not think it, but you obviously haven't met Blackwood Police.
So there is lots going on here in Pontypool.
There's also lots for sale, same as any ice street.
There's a lot of history in Pontypool.
And if you speak to any of the locals, they will tell you so much about Pontypool.
We've learned so much since we've been here.
It's one of the best decisions I've ever made coming here.
You've got St David's there, lovely staff in there.
Nice big shop.

Everybody works together here, they've given us ink cartridges to recycle.
This is what you call candy floss, look Sammy, when you go to the beach next time, just in case you didn't know what it was, and you need to bring it back, this is candy floss.

Oh, they've got a Halloween thing, oh, look at those pumpkins.
Do you get everybody touching them though?
They look very tactile, don't they?
They look beautiful, fair play.
Oh, and those wreaths, look guys, we could do that in craft class.
Easy enough to do there.
It's just having the time in it, isn't it, to do it all.
There's a lot of drink here today, I think guys, look at that, oh, whiskey.
That used to be my drink when I was younger, Jack Daniels.

I'm going to have a look in here now because I have my favourite sugar.
Because it's really granulated and gritty.
And I like textured foods.
Don't I?
I'm going to see if they've gone in here today.
They keep selling out, they do.
