July 2, 201214 yr All I have to say about the THI is excellent work, they all deserve a big thank you, pat on the back and a drink. Agreed. The Station next, possibly?
July 3, 201214 yr Where's the station?Glad to see that the pharmacy and munchie moo's are planned for renovation according to the stars on the map.
July 4, 201214 yr Council Planning Department assured us that after many !*!@# ups building work was to begin mid April on the former Elliots Garage site. Its now July and Guess What.
July 4, 201214 yr Where's the station?Glad to see that the pharmacy and munchie moo's are planned for renovation according to the stars on the map.Wheres the Station ? EXACTLY !!
July 4, 201214 yr Wheres the Station ? EXACTLY !!Can we have a sarcasm button put into the reply box somewhere. It always seems to get lost somewhere between me typing and clicking post
July 4, 201214 yr Can we have a sarcasm button put into the reply box somewhere. It always seems to get lost somewhere between me typing and clicking post Brettly, you are doing just fine without it mate, ha ha. Just drive in the opposite direction to that of which the NCC gardeners vans and grass cutters are travelling, you may just find Bedlington Station among the weeds and undergrowth. The Station itself ? long gone, long forgotten and never to be ressurected it seems. (looks like my sarcasm button is working just fine, sunshine)
July 6, 201214 yr The Station - a great project for the bench-burners who have "nothing to do".Some flowers have been planted in the raised beds and hanging baskets put up !!! A half barrel has been placed in front of St. Johns and planted with marigolds. Just a pity they never cut the grass , weeded and re-planted the existing beds first.
July 6, 201214 yr what about the weather when is the rain going to stop . is this the future for our weather ?
July 7, 201214 yr what about the weather when is the rain going to stop . is this the future for our weather ?An old farmer once told me his take on it a few years ago. " Its all them old bed irons and other junk they're sending into space, playing havoc with the weather ". Who's to say he is wrong ? Edited July 7, 201214 yr by keith
July 7, 201214 yr Author An old farmer once told me his take on it a few years ago. " Its all them old bed irons and other junk they're sending into space, playing havoc with the weather ". Who's to say he is wrong ?Anyone with at least two working grey cells!

Just a pity they never cut the grass , weeded and re-planted the existing beds first.Keith,Its not my business but I think you might find your parish council did the beds, hanging baskets etc and its NCC who are responsible for grass cutting......unless you want to see your parish rates start to multiply.... as is the grand scheme at the moment!
July 7, 201214 yr Author The Station - a great project for the bench-burners who have "nothing to do".Naw................its the Bronx........
July 7, 201214 yr Anyone with at least two working grey cells! well that counts some of us out then Malcolm
July 7, 201214 yr Keith,Its not my business but I think you might find your parish council did the beds, hanging baskets etc and its NCC who are responsible for grass cutting......unless you want to see your parish rates start to multiply.... as is the grand scheme at the moment!To be honest I could not give a monkeys chuff who pays for what,...... the..... grass.....needs.....cutting....... 'cos the place is a bloody mess.
July 7, 201214 yr Naw................its the Bronx........Well at least we agree on something Malcolm.You never know, someone with a bit of nouse might even notice and realise Bedlington continues beyond the Front streets and the Market Place. Just because the Raisbeck has stopped running dosent mean you cant get to the station anymore, it is still there.
July 7, 201214 yr Author To be honest I could not give a monkeys chuff who pays for what,...... the..... grass.....needs.....cutting....... 'cos the place is a bloody mess.Yep and its not as if we don't pay for the service or it used to be a service we paid for in the WDC then the NCC rates. Seems to me someone has decided to only cut about half a metre in from the roads irrespective of how much grass there is wherever.... 1 pass with the flail mower?

Just because the Raisbeck has stopped running dosent mean you cant get to the station anymore, it is still there.This is the daft thing about having three little councils!
July 7, 201214 yr This is the daft thing about having three little councils!And So Say All Of Us!!! By the way Keith I'm off on a weeks holiday but by the time I get back do you think you could explain to me what a Monkeys Chuff Is? It sounds quite interesting. :whistle: Edited July 7, 201214 yr by foxy
