Vote Tommy The Egg Man To Turn On Bedlington Christmas Lights!

[Andy Millne]

has any one pointed this out to the offical bodies maybe its not to late?

Yep, working on it.

[Andy Millne]

Google "Vote Tommy"

[rachael]

this is amazing. Tommy is awesome

[Malcolm Robinson]

Got my vote...........

[Bedlington Girl]

If Tommy doesn't get the job then everyone who's voted for him should turn up on 5th for the 'switch on' and chant 'TOMMY! TOMMY!..' and let's get the press there too!

It's time we Bedlington folk stood up and made the council take notice of us, we've been ignored for weay too long.

Oh, I don't think there will be much need for that; they know the song too:

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone.

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or you'll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'.

For the loser now

Will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later be last

For the times they are a-changin'.

...and you didn't check the town calendar.

All we need now is for all the good people to turn up on the night. Lets have a good turn out folks. Only part of the job done, now we have to show tremendous support for what we asked for and were granted. Cheers.

Absolutely a lot of people have had to make extra arrangements at short notice for this, lets make sure they know we appreciate it.
