IT'S always nice to get something for nothing.

Sceptics say that it's not possible, that there’s always a catch. But that’s not true.
I went to the opera in Llandudno on Tuesday night - press tickets in return for a review. I have written a review reflecting my experience.

Obviously, the theatre is taking a gamble. Had I had a miserable time, perhaps because of a stinking hangover or because I don’t speak Italian, I would have written that I didn’t enjoy it.

See - something for nothing. The theatre can get either something or nothing out of it. I get opera tickets and I’m paid to write anyway.

So really this is an appeal to anybody who wants to give things to us Visitor reporters. We won’t put your logo on this blog and in all likelihood we probably won’t even acknowledge we’ve received it.

If a housing company wants to give us a property, that’s great. We’ll use it. But we won’t start saying nice things about the company and we won't ignore less than complimentary news coming in about them.

If a controversial hotel wants to give us access to their facilities, we may or may not take advantage, but we wouldn’t drop the controversy.

Free keep fit classes? Don’t bother, we’re all far too lazy here.

Right now, we can’t think of anything we want. But if you can think of something we’d like, send it to:

84 High Street,
Rhyl,
LL18 1UB.

But you won’t get anything for your investment.
