If you mean Talacre, you're right, it's possibly even worse than Rhyl and just a few miles down the road

In fact, that whole stretch of coast from Rhyl eastwards is pretty damn grim (apart from Abakhan Mill ...the fabric place).

Same here - more land = more hard work, there are only so many hours in a day.

That was my thinking too.

Pretty sure thats acres.

Yes, it was acres. I have Seymour's book here and I wouldn't have expected it to be in metric anyway, the book was written in the 70s or 80s.

I think, for my own business, more land = more money for about the same amount of work, or only a little bit more.

For me it's more when it comes to income & fixed costs, and less when it's variables.
