  • Maesteg was great when I lived there, but now I don't so it is up to you miserable scroats to make it good, I tried my best, I painted murals in the schools in the 70's, I won prizes for my school at the Eisteddfod.. I am not just someone who drops in and criticizes.. I did it , so can youI
  • If u want complete and utter arseholes serving u, go to livewire in maesteg, not only is the service terrible but the "man" of the place can count 8 kids to his name, and is completley useless, is a terrible liar and is a complete bastard typical of a maesteg man.
  • THE REASON WHY MAESTEG IS SURROUNDED BY MOUNTAINS IS TO KEEP THE DODGY PEOPLE IN E.G. justin phillips
  • Despite all that has bin said in the above i am for once in my life an extremely proud Caerau boy, right ill tellyou why. As ive stated before im gay yeah and kept that to meself for a long 12 years which very nearly put me in an early grave cause i never thought id be abled to come out of me closet and live round these parts again without being Glassed and violently attacked by certain, not all residents i admit. But everyone has bin so supportive and when i say everyone i mean everyone even the roid heads ( the gay hating vigalantys) the only words i ever hear from the peoples lips is "Im so proud of you it took a lot of guts to come out especially living round ere," some even say even thought im a screaming poof, a gay boy, a fudge nudger im more man than half the men in the valley cos i came out. So you can all say wat you like Im a caerau boy/girl whatever way you want to look at it and extremely extremely proud of it and the people who live there after all home is where the heart is and my hearts in caerau.
  • Lyn that 29 year old from Nisa/Filco in Caerau is a pervert, asks 14 year olds to shag him. He must Die
  • cheese sex is wrong morrally
  • Celtic Cakes - new company in maesteg - delivering to home addresses which is unique in this town. Good food and gifts - see website www.celticcakes.com
  • If you have a promising future away from those long factory shifts stay away. If you don`t take drugs/steroids stay away. If you are able to tell the difference between under 16 and over sixteen YOURE WELCOME!
  • Maesteg Library is appallingly bad for obtaining essential books for GCSE, A-Level, and degree studies. The staff are particularly unhelpful, and question the books you order as unimportant. It's about time they realised that a large proportion of Maesteg pupils go on to study at University and therefore their back catalogue should either be extended or they should be prepared to order in books, without the attendant sarcasm.
  • Maesteg Council Has More Debt Than A Third World Country Like Rwanda
  • The Noddfa chapel in Carerau,is a community center where people of all ages can go for things to do. Also hall hire for partys.
  • LOT'S OF SELF OPINION ON THE DERROGATORY STATE OF THE INHABITANTS OF MAESTEG BY MANY OF THE "EDUCATED" CONTRIBUTORS OF THIS WEBSITE! NICE TO SEE THEY ARE CRAMMING AS MUCH OF THEIR NEW FOUND CULTURAL COLLEGE HORIZONS INTO THEIR SUITCASES LEAVING "HAPPY VALLEY". I`M SURE THEY`LL BE MISSED.
  • I feel saf at the way this site has been denigrated by foul mouthed idiots,talking about their preferred sexuallity and offering it on line. All I can say, is that I hope they have the guts to walk into Cetic Rugby Club on a Saturday night and say the same thing.
  • Look, I'd just like to say to anyone fancying coming to Maesteg, that it's a rather tidy sort of place, really, no matter what you've heard about it (and don't bother with all the 'cultural capital of the world' jokes)
  • Not really worth travelling to unless you're in the area. It can't be that bad (I've been skating here five and a half years). Car park is best feature. BUT:
    Also the main car park has now been almost totally closed off so that a new superstore can be built. The Maesteg Seven's Rugby Club car park is now used as an overflow car park. (It's no good for skateboarding - gravel surface).
  • Maesteg Library: this is worth a visit (just down the lane, around the corner from the Post Office). The very accommodating librarian, Mr John Robinson, and his glamorous assistants (Alice, Jane, Ruth, Margaret, Cynthia) will attend to your every need (Maesteg folk are known for their hospitality). Mind the door when you go in - it has been known to fall off its hinges.
  • Pay a visit to LLangynwyd village if you want to add a bit of historical value to your trip. This is the place where you will find the grave of Ann Thomas and her lover Wil Hopcyn, made famous by the tale of the Maid of Cefn Ydfa and the ballad Begeilio'r Gwenith Gwyn. If you happen to be in the area at new year you will see the mari llwyd (grey mare) an old Welsh custom still carried out here each new years day.
  • There is a very good Men's Contact Society at Central Church on Friday winter evenings at 7:30 where you'll have an opportunity to listen to lectures of a high standard on a variety of subjects. Some of them given by university lecturers. This fine society has been in existence for 48 years
