  River Dee, Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Dee (Welsh: Afon Dyfrdwy) is a 70 mile (110 km) long river, which rises in Snowdonia, Wales and discharges to the sea a few miles west of Liverpool.
In 2003 negotiations with the angling associations owning fishing rights on the Dee broke down (the anglers wanted to restrict the numbers of paddlers on the river when paddling was allowed, the Welsh Canoe Association wanted to renew the previous agreement) and all canoeing was banned.
In November 2004, a protest about the lack of access on the Dee, and to rivers across England and Wales, was held in Llangollen.

During the 1780's a local landowner and a vicar from the parish of Llanferres were in constant disagreement regarding some issue and to try and resolve the problem, the landlord of the Loggerheads Inn decided to call a meeting between the two at the inn.
The thinking behind this was there were two people at the Loggerheads in disagreement plus the third person, whoever it may be in future, looking at the sign.
Hence, locally, and later nationally, the phrase caught on that to be ' at Loggerheads ' was to be in disagreement.
