You're as bad as that other halfwit Garethwilts. You're not the same person are you? I provide hard evidence such as links to, and quotes from the official city and county of Swansea website which state quite clearly that the Gower is a part of it, and you counter that with half hearted conjecture. "I know some Gower lads who say they're not from Swansea" doesn't cut the mustard I'm afraid. C'mon, is that really the best you can do? You can tell your snobby friends from the Gower, and they can deny this as much as they like, that they are very much a part of the city and county of Swansea. Not just the county of Swansea, but the city and county of Swansea. Ask them who they pay their council tax to? Ask them which city they write at the end of their address? Ask them if and when they vote.. which city and county their M.P is representing in parliament? At least try and come up with a counter argument that doesn't rely solely on hearsay...
It simply won't do.

Been watching this thread for a few days now and waiting for a slip up somewhere, and lo and behold here it comes:
"Which city and county their mp is representing in Parliament" Answer:- Martin Caton is labour mp for Gower! When asked about surely that is Swansea Martin? his reply " No Gower i'm afraid"
The Constituency lies entirely within the borders of the City & County of Swansea.

I might have known it would be you to come up with something as daft as that. Perhaps that's where you get your user name from. However, using humour isn't going to win the argument for you. You're another one Cardiff Daft, who used to scoff when I suggested that Gower is part of the city and county of Swansea didn't you? You haven't been involved in the discussions much of late have you? Perhaps you could see that the writing was on the wall.
While we're on the subject of scoffing... how does that humble pie taste?

rafa, rafa, rafa! i cant believe you still think that you can convince us the gower (which was around long before swansea the city or county was) is part of swansea city!!! you really are a funny gypo!!!!
Physical Description. The new City and County covers an area of 378 square kilometres (146 square miles), about 2% of the area of Wales. Extending from Rhossili Down at the western edge of the Gower Peninsula to Kilvey Hill, Crymlyn Bog and the slopes of the Drummau Mountain on the eastern border with Neath Port Talbot; and from Mumbles Head and the sweep of Swansea Bay in the south to the 1200 ft. ridge of Mynydd y Gwair overlooking the Amman Valley in the north, the new City and County covers an area of 378 square kilometres (146 square miles), about 2% of the area of Wales.
The City and County can be broadly divided into 4 physical areas. In the north, the Lliw Uplands present an open moorland feature; the Gower Peninsula in the west, a rural landscape with contrasting coasts and a collection of small villages; the urban and suburban centre stretching from Swansea to Gorseinon and Pontarddulais; and the coastal strip around Swansea Bay, no more than 2 miles in width.
Gower is an astonishingly diverse constituency comprising the old fishing village and seaside resort of Mumbles and its invirons to the south of Swansea city centre; the Gower peninsula to its west, the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Britain and to the north-west and north the Lliw Vlley region has a rich industrial history grounded in coal and steel. Some 76,000 people live in Gower and its population gre by 1.7% between 2001 and 2004. These make up around 31,300 households. The Constituency lies entirely within the borders of the City & County of Swansea. It is by far the biggest Parliamentary constituency of the three that make up the local authority and also has the largest electorate (approx 61,700). About 23% of the population is of retirement age.

And i've been trying to tell you...
All of Swansea's urban, suburban, and rural area's are part of the region known as THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SWANSEA. Please stop trying to suggest that the Gower is only part of the county of Swansea, but is not part of the city of Swansea. It is either within the boundaries of the CITY AND COUNTY OF SWANSEA, or it is not. I have never suggested that the Gower is part of the city centre, as that would be ridiculous, but you cannot continue to make a distinction between where the city boundaries end and the county boundaries start, because it all comes under the CITY AND COUNTY OF SWANSEA, of which the Gower is a part (the biggest part in actual fact).
Do you understand?
Do you get it?
Am I getting through to you?

Bloody hell you're making hard work of this...
Lets forget about the Gower and the city and county of Swansea a minute. There is obviously some kind of mental block which prevents you from associating one with the other. So lets try a different approach...
Take the example of the city and county of Cardiff. Is there a boundary around the city? A boundary which when you step over takes you from the city of Cardiff into the county of Cardiff? No, there is not. The city centre and urban area's of Cardiff give way to the suburban area's, which in turn give way to the rural area's and eventually the city and county border. Depending on which direction you're heading you will then cross over into a neighbouring county, e.g the vale of glamorgan.
Still with me?
O.k, lets apply this same logic to Swansea. There is no boundary to the city of Swansea, only a city and county boundary. The Gower is part of the city and county of Swansea, because it falls within these boundaries. I'm not claiming that the Gower is part of the city centre of Swansea. That would be ridiculous, but what I'm perfectly correct in saying, is that the Gower is part of the city and county of Swansea.
Now, you might not like it, but you have to accept that I'm right...

So were you both at the match? Good game was It?
Ever seen a live match either of you?what you have done is proved to everybody that you do not watch your team much
I have missed no more than 2 or 3 games in the the 6yrs we've been playing at fortress liberty. Didn't miss too many at the vetch either. I will openly admit that I don't make as many away games as I used to. One of the down sides of having young children. Would you care to explain how you've come to the conclusion that I don't watch my team much? I don't wish to be disrespectful to a member of our armed forces. If you are genuinely serving our country, then you have my utmost respect, but that doesn't excuse you from making unfounded and spurious allegations.
