• 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

🤣 People who stand right by zebra crossings looking at their phone with no intention of actually using the zebra crossing.
People waiting to pull out at a junction and not looking when you try to flash them ou

Anyone who activates a pelican crossing when there's absolutely no traffic about, except you when you're driving towards it. Boils my piss 😤
There’s a pelican crossing near the mosque in Sketty seemingly designed for maximum inconvenience. It only turns red about ten seconds after the road’s gone quiet — by which time the pedestrians have already crossed. Then, just as traffic returns, the lights go red and drivers sit staring at an empty crossing. Utterly ludicrous.

Or when I'm waiting to pull out of a junction and a car coming from the right turns left where I'm waiting without indicating after I've been waiting for him to go past 🤬🤬🤬

I once slowed down and flashed my lights at a chap waiting to cross the road with his dog. When he didn’t move, I realised it was a guide dog for the blind, and the dog was waiting for me to pass.

I live in Surrey, and that is standard behaviour here.

I lived in Guildford, Godalming and Woking through the 70s and 80s and don't remember that annoying habit being quite as bad as it is these days but there were definitely far fewer cars around then.

At least you tried 😉
 
I saw a kid nearly knocked down by one of those big BMW suv's doing it a few weeks ago - tw@ts
The sense of entitlement people have is amazing, it literally takes less than 30 seconds to use the roundabout.
 
And to be fair as someone who uses the road regularly its improved the flow of traffic immeasurably - some people just think they can do whatever they want 🙄
They do and it is becoming more and more prevalent in society.

Trying to get away from that junction used to be a nightmare until they introduce the no right turn.
