• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Marks and Spencer's

I was in there on Friday afternoon about 3.30pm, having just flown in to Cardiff for the match, and settled down for a pint while I waited for my brother to finish work, he lives just up the road. The place was heaving with drinkers and I'm told that is the normal state of affairs.
£2,20 for a pint of Glamorgan ales Jemimia's Pitchfork ale in The George Hotel [weatherspoons] in Brecon, lovely pint to, I had paid £4,50 for the same ale at the other end of town a bit earlier at the Hop house.
 
I popped in to town yesterday, I can see why M&S are leaving.
We go to Hereford a good few times through the year and the town is thriving including M&S, plus the Shopping centre across the road from Herefords football ground, Edgar Street.

It can be done, I don't buy in to retail parks and online shopping have killed city centres.

Cardiff is a decent day out as well.

Yep it is, as long as I haven't got to go and prancing around the fecking shops, not a lot in Brecon we came back earlier than expected due to it pissing down, parked on road outside town and we both got rather wet. :mad:

Summer is here 😂
 
Moretti was 6 quid a pint, Mrs had two pots of tea £18 and £7.80 I had sirloin £25 Mrs fish and chips £16 two sweets £15, steak was a bit meh Mrs wasn't impressed either sweets were average.

Would have had better value for similar cost at Grill House, but its a bit far to go on a school night.
Good gosh, at those prices you should expect the food to be really nice , not meh.

I'm not gonna mention the place, but we've had much better fare there.

Fillet medallions at the Grill house is 26 quid and bloody lovely.
