The Burj Bagillt down to thirteenth
It’s been a busy month for world super-structure record grabbing with the Burj Khalifa taking the tallest building title, which was lavishly celebrated during a spectacular opening ceremony in Dubai.
And further news of large appliance rivalry sees the Golden Gyro at Penmaenmawr lose its premier position as holders of the audio/visual record for in-bar entertainment. The Gyro’s ‘Big Screen’ has been dwarfed by a newly installed thirty six trillion mega pixel machine at the Conwy Indoor bowls and archery club, and Gyro landlord, Jacob Yehudi-Jones, is none too happy.
‘It’s a massive blow to the Penmaenmawr tourist trade,’ he said, as regulars in the bar shared the disappointment over a Monday morning pint. ‘We had them coming from miles away to see it.’
The Gyro’s next move is uncertain, but the sight of scaffolding being erected next to Sid Netanyahu’s tea shop, suggests the race for big screen supremacy may not be over.
In another blow to regional pride, it has emerged that the Dubai record breaking sky-scraper has relegated North Wales’ tallest building, the Burj Bagillt rates office in Rhyl, to thirteenth place in the world league.
Shrinking times!
