    My dad was a railway guard out of Neath , I was often sent there on the 24 bus from Birchgrove to deliver his "forgotten to take " sandwiches and tea in the metal flask . I think he did it on purpose , curled up dried sarnies and cold tea :eek:

    Me and wife often ( or did before the pandemic) have a late breakfast in the Kardomah, always full of characters and decent grub. Not a massive fan of coffee though , Camp coffee anyone ?

    My dad always had a bottle of Camp coffee in his office, plus condensed milk. Disgusting stuff.

    I remember my grandmother used to drink it. I must admit I quite enjoyed looking at the label as a child

    I played in the same under 15 Swansea schoolboy team that won the welsh cup in 1977 beating Newport over 2 legs and losing in the quarter final of the English schools cup as Dudley Lewis, Chris Marustik, Jimmy love ridge, Neil Henson all in that Swansea squad. We had a good side
