I was reading a new book last night, by a bestselling American novelist (Clive Custler), and he had to “ground” one of the characters in Newcastle upon Tyne. He did that my mentioning the guy was 20 miles from Bedlington!

So my question is, does that make Bedlington more internationally famous than Newcastle?

Guess I know the answer on this forum!

I have come across references to Bedlington in another novel I read but can’t remember the title? Anyone else come across the Town in this way?

I think they often enjoy Terry Pratchett novels too. And listen to My Chemical Romance.

Now hey, nothing wrong with Mr Pratchett I started reading his books before he got other people to write them and anyone who can wear a hat of such proportions to hide a bald head cannot be all bad!
