[edit] Dot in map

Could someone sort the wonky red dot out? SP-KP 23:19, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Please feel free to improve it . Mrs Trellis 22:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

If I could figure out how, I would! SP-KP 17:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

What's wonky about it? It looks in the right place on my browser. -- Arwel (talk) 18:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

On mine, it appears above the article title, nowhere near the map. Same problem with Caernarfon, btw SP-KP 18:28, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Both are misplaced for me, too -- it appears just below the center of the title of the article, nowhere near the map. Mozilla 1.1 on Yellow Dog Linux on a Macintosh laptop. Same for Caernarfon. -- Mareklug ^talk 00:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Longest high street?

In response to the removal of this claim, it is widely alleged that Bangor has the longest high street in Wales. I don't know anyone who has measured them all, although it is very long so it seems very believable to me.

If one does a Google search for "longest high street" wales bangor, one will find over 300 results, including, at the top, The Independent and UWB making this claim on their sites. I don't know if these sources count as relaible.

BTW, it is also widely alleged that it has the second highest ratio of pubs to population of any settlement in Britain.

Yeah, I reckon these sources are reliable enough. Now there's a source here on the talk page, I'm happy to revert my edit. CLW 21:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Should the pictures at the bottom of the page have their own section rather than be under External Links? --jmb 08:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Beatles in Bangor

BBC Wales has a feature and programme on the 40th anniversary of the visit to Bangor by The Beatles. [1]. The programme several times refers to them staying at Bangor Normal College, I always understood that they were staying at Neuadd Reichel. Which is correct? --jmb 13:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
