Love this. It's gone viral (kind of).

How come Looking Good is sponsoring the new www.morpeth.co.uk and not the town where they earn all their beans? We should be told!

They're sponsoring both. Just they're the only Morpeth sponsor at the minute.

Got my vote! I've contacted the relevant decision makers. Will keep you updated

Well there's at least one lit already.

yeah, you get interesat at what - half a percent or something? You know what the banks keep?

The average non introductory rate of interest on current accounts is wait for it... 0.1%

Sent our dog there a few months back and came back a different dog! What a difference there was and the job they had done was outstanding. For only £25, the amount of pampering he got was unreal. Definitely will be sending him back again soon!

Would have to agree. Friends dog went there regularly and the stuff they used would bring out the clean smell everytime she got wet. It would fall asleep in the dryer as well.

a heater what for? gold fish bowl, house, caravan, greenhouse, kennel

A room heater.

Looking for an affordable heater with built in timer and thermostat. Any ideas where I can get one locally?

I saw it taped off and today noticed the roof was missing.

Wonder if the council will replace the roof after what happened, or if they'll just leave it.

They better it's in the conservation area!! :lol:

That wasn't you I saw today with a little ginger pup was it?

A lad on a bike wearing a cap and a Berghaus jacket, shouting "Git the !*!@# here man yi little !*!@# *ng d*ck!?”?

Cute puppy.

Haha no but I'm sure I've uttered words to that effect a few times.

Bedlington`s xmas lights are going on at 4pm, December 3rd, according to this news article http://bedlington.jo...e-projec-1.html

But

http://www.bedlington.co.uk/2009/11/christmas-preparations-underway-free-ice-rink/ had it first

its the power its going to his thick heed!

It's a yearly American tradition that, not an Obama specific thing.Still, it's pretty daft.

Anybody know why the police were on foot on the front street with a few cars patrolling? I was approached as apparantly I matched the description of somebody they were looking for. They wouldn't give me any info.

Are Bedlington's criminal element carrying 10 week old puppies with them on their escapades as a disguise to throw the police off the scent? I don't see how I possibly could have looked like I'd just been engaging in criminal activity. Unless of course somebody is missing a puppy.

The officer was very polite just seemed like an odd choice of person to stop that's all.

is the butcher shop still open across from the coffin chapel and if so do they still sell rabbits and pheasant??

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's now a hairdressers, unless it was the little shop around the corner which is empty.

Can I close this now?

OK it's all sorted. No expensive public enquiries no obscene amounts spent on consultancy I've done all the hard work.

Here it is Bedlington's new town centre...

The social club can move into the community centre.

And while we're at it council offices might as well go as well

I've got a vision! Get rid of the Social Club and The Sun and develop the land from the old school up to the community centre. We've got too many pubs as it is and Elliotts isn't exactly helping the image of the town at the moment.

If ever there was a case for some compulsory purchase orders....

Apparantly the community centre is being sold off by NCC. I think it could be better run by a private company but I can't imagine any private owner that takes it on using it for that purpose.

one problem there not enough foot fall to attract big companies!

Yep chicken and egg problem. Finding some other non retail things to pull people into the town centre is the answer.

and although i do use Tesco it may as well close and go elsewhere unless they can expand and start selling more variety of products like the one they have at Kingston Park which i and a lot more people thought they were going to do.

Contracts have been exchanged (not signed) on the gap site so I guess the work is still on. Sooner they get the fancy that facade cleaned up the better as well.

Is it Windows 7 Final or RC? I'm running an RC build and "my" secondary display has a similar problem. Pretty sure it's the monitor though here.

As it is it looks to me to be the last roll of the dice for Front Street as a viable retail centre.

It rather does look that way doesn't it. The current generation of shoppers are attracted to big high street names and tempting them in to Bedlington would be very difficult at the minute. I still think the spirit of enterprise in the town is very strong though and the amount of people running small businesses from home is staggering. Now if only we could have a central location for them to all get together and promote to a wider audience we might still be able to keep some of that hard earned in the local economy... oh wait hang on!
