• 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

Those 2 women driving 5 miles for a walk and catch up

If the rules say 'local', that is always open to interpretation. We shop locally. The nearest supermarkets are 8 miles away. Does that mean we can go for a walk 8 miles away? Entitled twats they may be but as JackSomething said, a yellow card would have been sufficient imo.

Can’t be Jack 123. He never deletes anything he said. Apart from when he deletes everything.

Perhaps he needs to study the 'masters' at work a little more so the edit button won't be needed...
 
The legislation does need tightening up, its poor and ambiguous, but driving 5 miles for a walk and taking refreshments stopping doesn’t cut it in my book, there are a lot of people who have much harder. If they don’t like it they can refuse to pay the fine and argue it out in Court.

To put the ladies walk in to perspective, there is a photo of the site where they were fined on the BBC web page, taken by a BBC employee sent to the spot after the report who more than likely travelled a lot further than 5 miles to do so. So is that worthy of a fine as well ?

Last week I was in work speaking to 3 other people to discuss a matter, two were from Chester, the other from Manchester, 50 miles away. Same thing will happen tomorrow. This is ok though because I'm in work.

Sorry Phil, you deserve better than that. I will try my best, never to post whilst in drink again.

It was unlikely that a BBC employee went to take that photo. There is a credit on it and they've probably paid that photographer to use it.

Edited to say that I checked the guy whose photos they used and he's a producer for the BBC who apparently lives in the area. It doesn't invalidate your point though, that it's OK to travel there for work but not a walk.
 
Tell you what its lucky that someone took a photo to prove what they were doing several hours before...

Let's just probably all agree that the whole story was one of self publicity, bad decisions and just pointless air and column space
