Lol! Definitely right, tho I do believe that it was once an island, or so the history I read of it claimed, when they cut the new channel for the Artro to allow bigger boats to berth for the Llanfair slate from the mines! Mind you, I dont think it lasted long as an island before the older channel silted up and filled with sand dunes, but as a kid the lure of staying on a campsite that the road gets cut off by the rising tide was something special - even tho we did once get stuck on the island for 3 days after the one of the causeway bridges was washed away!
