• 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

I’m not a great fan of online shopping for food, if needs must, I will, but nothing more frustrating than a few hours before order arrives, you check the email and the items that you really wanted are out of stock, which bloody annoys me, when the delivery is at say 9am-10am and shows OOS, yet you check the app in store and it’s showing stock. 🤬
 
I never suggested they could. Exactly the same as not everyone is able to book their shopping online like the poster I replied to does.

As a side note Mrs tried the online shopping, firstly during Covid, but it never developed into a regular event Mrs likes to chose the products herself, I call there some mornings to pick up a few fruit punnets very refreshing they are to.

That’s exactly my issue, I want to choose the best products with the longest dates on them, not the battered stuff that’ll be out of date by th time you put them away.
 
I can’t get my head around people that are happy for a supermarket employee to pick their food for them. Fuck that, I want to inspect every inch of the fresh produce I’m buying and I’m picking them from the bottom box or out of the drawer, not the ones that are on top.

Savvy shoppers are in and done by 7am 😎
I agree with ALMOST all of that... but on what crazy planet does 7 AM exist!
 
When programmes show you highlights of a game, and proceed to tell you if someone scores or not before showing the shot.

I’ve got to say, a ‘today I learned’ thing…I was in Tesco’s Neath Abbey and an elderly lady was looking at fruit and pulled out those drawers underneath…sneaky sod! Never knew about them!

I was in a church in Neath just now watching my youngest grandson’s class singing and two male parents sat through the whole service wearing baseball caps and it really irritated me.
Going into a shop ( when out for a good walk) and finding the pop in the fridge isn't cold , because they haven't got the temperature set low enough. If you are not going to chill the goods in the fridge, you may as well leave it on the bloody shelf.

Jenkins Bakery fridges are like that. The bottles of water/pop/squash in the fridges are almost always more or less room temperature. Boo.

Experience is hard earned but extremely useful sometimes.
