Map?

[Malcolm Robinson]

Anyone else see a major omission on this map the NHS are using for Northumberland?

Ulgham? Only Kidding.

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.

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!

You're forgetting the florists, tattoo parlours and hairdressers which we have too many of.....
