Never trust a jack

When I was five my deeply missed old man took us all on a family holiday to jacksville , the mumbles to be precise

As soon as we got there he told me in later years it went wrong

We arrived on the Friday night in the pissing rain and the rented caravan was leaking and cold

The next day was sunny and he took me fishing on mumbles pier

Then things started to go horribly wrong .......

On the way back from the pier to the caravan he stopped off to buy some Swansea bay cockles from a shop

That evening he started throwing up violently for three days

It spoilt the weeks holiday

Bloody jacks

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if their ****ing sea food hated us, such is the bitterness towards us down there. Backward racist shithole of a place. There was one idiot on here taunting us because we haven't got a beach! I mean c'mon, using geography as a tool to goad your rivals...

The cockles would have been from Penclawdd.

Go to the back of the marl in grangetown where Bowles dredging used to be. Like St Tropez on a sunny day.

I think the Macaris brothers have retired i not been down that way for years.

Always liked Dick Bartons on the way to Mumbles. Wonder if that is still around? Big chunky chips

Yes, thats the one I was reffering too. One of my uncles had a caravan in Llanrhidian and I used to use it a fair bit. That chippy is top notch.
