Free Money!
On Tuesday a man walked into Weatherspoons in Aberystwyth at 9.00 a.m. He drank two pints of beer, a normal breakfast for Aber folk, and placed a large bundle of banknotes on the table before him, riffling through them occasionally, as though they were playing cards. At about 10.00 he walked outside Yr Hen Orsaf, or The Old Station, as the pub is known by virtue of being the old, and indeed current, railway station, and began to toss banknotes around like confetti.
The pub opposite is called The Lord Beeching, after the notorious axe murderer of the railways. Their staff spotted this unusual display and rushed out to find the man shouting "Do you want some money? Come and get it!"
Bystanders became by-grabbers, stuffing cash into their pockets. It is thought that around £25,000 was redistributed to the unworthy citizenry and assorted holidaymakers.
The man is now receiving assistance from social services.
The moral of this story is elusive, but its essence is pure Aber. T here are a lot of very strange people in this town.

But you know why he did it - your previous blog entries have clearly shown that there's nothing to spend your money on in Aber ....

That is a very good point, Pog. Though he could have bought some Welsh CDs from Siop y Pethe.
