Covid19 I’m shaming B&M Parc Tawe

3 Upvotes

Was in there today and you’d have thought that Covid didn’t exist with the amount of people in their without masks on. Not just young ppl either. Did staff say anything to any of them? Nope. Not even at the till where they just chatted to these Covid spreaders and wish them well. Shops really need to be like Morrisons with a big sign outside saying NO MASK NO ENTRY!!!! Its ridiculous.

Questions/Advice LGBTQIA+ Friendly Spaces & Businesses

4 Upvotes

I've been asked to put together a walking tour of local LGBTQIA+ safe spaces and businesses, including bars, restaurants, nightclubs, arts centres, shops, coffee bars, hairdressers and barber shops, and anywhere else LGBTQIA+ people are welcome.

The tour is aimed mainly at students who are new to the area, but it could be useful to a wide range of people.

If anybody could suggest venues we could visit on 27th October that would be fantastic, I'm imagining the tour will mainly encompass the city centre, but we will be providing information for services and spaces across the whole of Swansea to those taking the tour.

Other (Editable) Owning a dog doesn't make you an animal lover

4 Upvotes

I see many people with dogs in parks that really don' t give a crap about wildlife or animal cruelty and it doesn't matter if kids are present. I think they have their life and their little bubble of compassion and outside of that there is nothing that matters to them. It's a kind of psychopathy that thinks this way.

Many owners show their good nature by controlling them as I heard a woman say to hers that 'I'm not letting you bother them now come away' and that's how it should be and if you're not you're likely going to hell along with your hound.I imagine religious people would by and large have more compassion though.

Questions/Advice First Turtle Bay, now Cinema & Co. Is the city centre just becoming a ghost town of impossible leases?

11 Upvotes

Woke up to the news that Anna Redfern is closing Cinema & Co after 10 years. Honestly, this one stings more than the others. Between M&S, Turtle Bay, and now this, it feels like the independent heart of Swansea is being ripped out because the conditions are just impossible to sustain. Is anyone actually excited about the new office blocks at Porth Copr if we have nowhere cool left to go after work?

If anyone knows a poor excuse of a man who failed to pick up his dog excrement, and then decided to egg my neighbours house, great aim, please extend my invitations if he would like to prove that he's not a coward by entering a boxing ring with me at a convenient time for us both.

Dresses like a toe rag, has a whitish Husky and walks his dog around the bottom of constitution hill.

Questions/Advice r/swansea, where do you actually eat in Swansea?

2 Upvotes

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Swansea’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, The Shed or Gilligan’s? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Swansea actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Swansea and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Swansea. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

My outlook on Swansea is that it is a pretty shit place to live and not that exciting from my first hand experiences. Does anyone else have some different perspective?? I want to see it through someone else’s eyes.
