• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

RIP Ruth Madoc

I heard she was brought up in Llansamlet.
Some lovely stories shared about her on TV today.

Slightly related, Is Llansamlet the area from the Halfway House pub to the Jersey Arms ?
Used to spend my weekends and school holidays near to where Harry Rhys's shop used to be. I think the Two Ronnie's used that shop for the 4 candles sketch.
She was indeed brought up in
Llansamalet, and I believed she lived with her grandmother on Peniel Green Road, just up from the Library on the cross. Coincidentally her father owned the land on which Cwm cottages were built, no longer there, but on the site of the current Texaco garage, and where my wifes grandparents and mother used to live.
