• 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

Swansea population might not have actually reduced. The census was complicated by various lockdowns and regional rule changes so quite a few from Swansea might have gone to their 2nd or 3rd homes and would have been recorded somewhere else. 👍
 
The problem is all these old people living really old, scrounging old age pension benefits, using the NHS, not paying taxes and not working.

Although this is likely in jest, protection of pensioners-more pertinently those on old final salary pensions, does put more taxation burden on young workers who will NOT receive such generous pensions. I'm not talking about those on the small state pension. Plenty of very comfortable pensioners and others in poverty.
 
Young people like my contemporaries and I aren’t having kids because we can’t afford it. After mortgage, bills, and essentials my wife and I have barely have a couple of hundred quid left to put away to save. If we had a kid it would blow our household finances apart so we got a dog instead…
