help! am stuck in aberystwyth at horrid guesthouse pls help me find a nice pub or restaurant!

[edam]

Travelling for work hotel bumped us as overbooked to horrid guesthouse - can't stay in my room all eve pls recommend somewhere to go

There's nothing else to do in Aber on a Sunday except get pissed!

Awwww, poor old Aber, I loved it there, you're all meanies! Although it is considerably more attractive in the sunshine... And yeah, it does make Birmingham look like Monte Carlo

We jumped on the 9.30 train as had no wish to spend a second more in Aber. Only for the guard to announce, after we'd set off, that there was no refreshment trolley. It's a FOUR HOUR journey to Birmingham International where I was changing. Mind you, would have been no use knowing in advance as all the shops were shut - even WHSmith, ffs. We were reduced to sharing a stale bottle of mineral water I'd forgotten to throw out the night before, and taking it in turns to have a spray of Bach Rescue Remedy mouth spray...

My boyfriend came to visit me and couldn't believe that you couldn't even get petrol on a Sunday, much less a drink. Actually when I was there, I have a vague recollection that the trains didn't run on Sundays but that can't be right can it?

They do now, praise be!

You can drink on a Sunday there now, but I know you couldn't in the 1970s.

I was at university there in the mid 80s Norman

I would like to know where that guest house is? I've lived in Aberystwyth for over 23 years & it's a great place to live with lots going on! There's recently been a lot of money spent on making the town look smarter. Don't forget there are lots of students who came here to study & never returned home - so it can be that bad can it?
