February 29, 201610 yr Maggie - have I missed something? Do we now need plans to get the wind to change direction. Me mam always said if a was pulling a face and the wind changed direction me face would stay like that! Edited February 29, 201610 yr by Eggy1948
February 29, 201610 yr Author No Eggy it is just my attempt to be humourous with a serious subject. The article on seafaring terms in the Journal last Monday has a lot to answer for in this title. Basically I hope the 'winds of change' blow quickly for Bedlington NCC and good old Arch. It would be great to see things happen in our Market Place. I hope your mothers prediction is not what happens in this case.
February 29, 201610 yr Two more months and it's the anniversary of the Make a Noise demonstration, the only thing that has changed since, is the Market Place looks more derilict, however we are almost a year closer to that five year project being completed.

That way it gives you the option of fight or flight. The title of the article. In the Journal 22nd February was 'How the sea is in our language and our blood', Another interesting word is 'Strike'. To close things down on the ship. Then there is 'Scuttlebutt slang for gossip. All sailing close to the wind.
