Guest mrsvic Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Bedlington.co.uk everybody's favourite website, as we all know...But is there competition? What I thought was a cheap promotional leaflet was delivered chezvic this morning, and hoping that it would contain the latest Netto offers, I took a quick glance. Sadly this was no Netto publication but mearly a load of adverts for 'local' businesses (as far a South Tyneside) interspersed with Daniel Craig and Anthea Turner interviews. 2 pages at the back of the rag contained 'day in the life' type articles with a councillor (Tyler) and a historian/ 'antique dealer' (with whom I still have a grievance with when he took a lend of an elderly relative). And it claims that it will be a monthly publication... with whom are they going to find interviews with for the next 12 months?All in all it was a bit rubbish really, and provided me with no more information than a Yellow Pages/ News Post Leader combo could provide... but with more paper wasted. AND it has a website!!!! YES!!! A WEBSITE!www.ctbedlington.co.ukSound familiar?!?!It's not a as good... let me tell you!Anyway... I'll let you all make up your own minds about it... take a look. I'm guessing it's a national franchise or something, as it's geet generic and not a patch on the real Bedlington site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzel Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 It's opening for me! (unless I'm imagining it all) The leaflet was poorly laid out, the registration was out in a few of the adverts, and the advert for the pub in West Boldon was cringeworthy.Bedlington.co.uk 1, Johnny Come Lately's 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Delta Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 didn't think much of the booklet but the Bedlington Terrier on the front cover made me smile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamburger Pimp Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Anyone getting savaged by a Bedlington terrier is clearly soft as claggy toffee. You can kill one in about a second. Just kick its face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kick its face off.Well done HP on sounding geet hard there! (Btw... I was once told that the way to snub an attack from a a vicious dog was to burn it's nose with a lighter. This was said in the Sun Inn, so I'm not too sure on it's authenication, but it's always worth a try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threegee Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Arrhh The Journal Bedlington.co.uk's most ardent new member.Wonder why they keep joining but never contribute anything? Seriously though, I'm told the local press is having a very hard time of it at the moment. One contact told me things have never been so bleak on the advertising revenue front. I do hope they survive Gordon Brown economics, as we will be a poorer community without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
