Default What is the name of the sporting book store in Wales?
You know the one. They used to advertise here. Sporting books specialists, in Wales. Conk Your Fondue or some such.

Could someone help with the name and website, please? I can't find where I bookmarked it and I have to get my winter book order in before the brother in law flies over to join us for Christmas.

Thanks.

Grouse

You're very welcome, although I heartily suggest they do change their name to Conk your fondue

Quite right. Would exponentially expand the number of 'Muricans that could pronounce their company name.

Better than being named after a beetle.

I may be wrong but I always believed that the coch y bonddu was named after the bird that supply the hackles that the fly is tied from.
