Maggie/915 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Unfortunately the ladies loos are not history orientated.I never did accept the basic rules.Life in Geordieland is a holiday.Leave at your peril and people will be prepared to put a bomb up your backside to send you back.My claim to fame in life is making an exile into a flag waving Geordie again.Sweetness and shite as they say.How do you tell a Geordie!Answer you can't because they can't be telt!

keith lockey Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) With regards to the submarine connection at the King's Arms, Seaton Sluice - Blyth harbour was a submarine base, so that might be the connection.Here is a short Youtube video I found. The submarine bit is about 2 minutes in. Edited July 25, 2013 by keith lockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canny lass Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Seaton Sluice and The Kings Arms, does anyone know why there are submarine pictures in the loos. I heard many, many years ago that a submarine crew from the Blyth base were celebrating Xmas day in the pub, sometime in the early 40's. One of them won a bottle of whisky in a raffle but as he was about to go to sea he asked the landlord to keep it for him until he returned. Sadly he never returned, the sub was destroyed, but the bottle was kept for him and as far as I know it's still there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canny lass Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Why the photos have been relegated to the loos I can not imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
