keith lockey Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Malcolm, you of all people should know that Bedlington actually doesn't exist. It is like Brigadoon. We are a quasi-legendary place like Atlantis, Lemuria and Ultima Thule. People have heard of them but they are not quite sure if they are real. That is what Bedlington is like now - the Elysium Fields of Greek myth; a place where the dead go. There was a joke going round years ago that the only things in Bedlington were solicitors, supermarkets and pubs. The pubs are all but gone; we have two supermarkets - though Morrisons is unobtainable to many in the winter; and the solicitors have turned into real estate offices. We're doomed!Bedlington in the not too distant future. Edited January 11, 2013 by keith lockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Robinson Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Brigadoon..................like it. I might just use that!BTW if you look at the Bedlington local pages on the Journal web site have a look at my old blogs. Especially the tumbleweed one!
