I'm #nonbinary, right? Well this week someone described me as trans+ *gasp*

That feels like the premium version, and I'm for sure a supermarket own brand!

Cheap as chips (well, cheaper than chips - in this economy!)

Two years ago, local artist Holly Jewel painted a mural in our children’s area.
Now we’re welcoming Alex Pawson, whose work celebrates creativity.
The wall will now change every two years, giving local artists a space to shine!

OUT NOW

Take a walk with me through Fflwcs' Mega Christmas Mall. Let's link arms and do some window shopping. We'll walk backwards past the brass band who are still stuck in a slow-time loop.
