• 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

Yay, Brexit! Whoop!

We can finally ban all so called 'good' coffees so all we've got to drink is Nescafe instant. Hoorah!, oh and good old Camp coffee with the British Officer and his Indian punkah wallah servant on the bottle like in the good old days of Empire. Harrrumph.
 
All British ex pats living in EU countries who retain British bank accounts and credit cards have been informed that these facilities are going to be withdrawn before the end of the year unless they can provide a UK address from which they can administer their accounts.

Up until now, these banks were happy to deal with them as EU residents.

This seems like a no win situation to me. The ex pats potentially lose their UK accounts and the banks lose presumably profitable customers.

This doesn't affect me at present, when I moved to Spain two years ago, I anticipated this shyte and told my bank I was moving within the UK. I gave my new address as that of a trusted family member. I do all my UK banking online, with the occasional cash point withdrawal when I'm back in the UK visiting. I'm wondering how easy it's going to be for ex pats to come up with a trusted UK address. This is going to cause massive complications for hundreds of thousands of British citizens.

Feck Boris, feck Brexit.

It’s gonna be great!

Surely Gove and Davis and all the rest of them that promised us the best and easiest deal in the history of the universe are now only minutes away from announcing that the pavements are due to turn into gold and unicorns are going to start running around imminently. Add that to the massive weekly bump that the NHS is going to get - who wouldn’t vote for it?

Well at least the Brexiters can now blame Covid, rather than remoaners, for the pure shitstorm they are willingly sailing us in to.
 
Increased food borne disease form chicken especially Salmonella-so more research funding to the area. That is of course beneficial to about 4 people in the UK including me.
