Did someone mention free beer Blaenymaes a good place to live ? This thread is turning very surreal, next thing I'm expecting to hear is that Townhill is lovely !!!! (sorry Swim that was a joke)
Hi,lumberjack. I really enjoyed your picture of Blaen y Maes as was,but when I worked in the youth club,the area was like a bad day in Beirut. Burnt out cars;shops boarded up after fires;houses boarded up,well,I could go on,but I don't want you to think I am knocking the place gratuitously. I just remembered an incident whilst I was on duty in the main hall of the club. I was supervising a game of murder ball,or at least I thought I was. One lad came in with a Doberman Pincher on a short lead. He walked into the centre of the room,the game stopped,the dog defecated,leaving a mountain of steaming crap in it's wake. No words were exchanged,everyone just looked on,as if it were a regular occurrence. The boy and the dog then left. How cool was that? I had a lot of fun whilst working there,and have fond memories of the place,but I was glad I lived elsewhere.
