a letter to the editor written from Bangor, North Wales in 1957
Description
This clipping is a letter to the editor written from Bangor, North Wales in 1957. The writer calls into question the exaggerated claims of earlier correspondents who assert that no Welsh-men or chapel goers visit clubs on a Sunday. He points out some of the absurdities of the licensing laws including what opponents call "the thin edge of the wedge", that is, providing liquid refreshments with meals on a Sunday - the law can always be got around and so no one has much respect for it. It is difficult to decide whether this writer is for or against drinking on a Sunday but he does seem to be against interfering in other people's lives and has some sympathy for day trippers on a wet Welsh Sunday with no public houses or cinemas to offer them shelter.
