THERE was something almost romantic about the Dolphin Hotel squatters when they first moved in.

It's terrible to see landmark buildings going to waste — and who doesn't love free coffee?

But now the practicalities of running a large place on a wing and a prayer has set in. They may have wanted to cwtch their neighbours but in reality they have taken trade from nearby cafes, and caused a stinky sewage leak.

Who is going to pay for all the damage? It is unlikely the squatters are insured.

Rules and regulations may be boring, but they are there for a reason.

    “calvinSX - grow up. If you squatted the building you have to take responsibility for it. Simple. Now toddle off back to where you came from. 99.99% of Swansea doesn't want you there.”
