Thread: Never trust a jack

  1. #1

    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...

    Cockles sold in Swansea haven't been from local sources for many years.

    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.
