Over the first weekend of the Independence celebrations, the Dylan Thomas Book Bus was parked in the main car park. The owner, Jeff Towns, is known as "The Dylan Thomas Guy" and was giving several talks over the weekend. He's been selling books in Swansea for 40 years.
I went in the bus to browse (he has a range of books in there) and to buy a CD called The Boy With a Note, described as "an evocation of the life of Dylan Thomas in words and music" by Ralph McTell. (it's very good!).
So I overheard Jeff Towns talking to another customer about the traffic warden who had turned up on the first morning he parked there. Who gave him a parking ticket.
It took the appearance of the Mayor of Hay, Trudi Steadman, to convince the traffic warden that Jeff Towns had permission from the Town Council to park there and open his shop.
