It was. Roxie's was situated on St Helens Rd, on the corner to where the Wig and Pen is now. |
Yes, that's the one I meant, in St Helens Rd. But I also used to frequent CJs in Mumbles, come to think of it. |  | | |

I was at school with Ray. A few years older, he was a bit of a hero to us younger Swans fans because he was a legendary NB hard bastard. He was on Grandstand (?) once as a teenager taking on some visiting judo master. Very handy boxer too. He only had to look at someone with that lazy death stare and they’d shit themselves.
Came home on the bus with him one night after a match. The bus conductor (remember them?) approached and I went to put my hand in my pocket. Ray nudged me and whispered ‘put it away’.
“Tickets please!” Ray gave him the look and we had a free ride home. 😂
Edited: Gary, you twà t, mun. 😂😂😂 [Post edited 18 Apr 2020 14:47]

Another good one was The Drangway on Wind Street. On the corner of the lane leading to the Cross Keys. Great steaks and owned by the chef Presdee (can’t remember his first name - Colin?). |
Colin Pressdee. That was top drawer and ahead of its time championing local produce.

He used to do a Gladstone’s Carpet Bagger Steak which was stuffed with oysters. I can taste it now.
You’re right, ahead of his time. |  |
