  1. Taking elderly relatives over to A&E on numerous evenings, I have encountered awfull drugged-up knackers like the above example in the past. This being a worse case. Behaviour like this is becomming acceptable, and even the norm amongst the nouveau underclass.

    Repeat offenders threatening and carrying out violence without any kind of notable consequence are going to carry on. And with every misdemeanour committed the more chance of an innocent person getting hurt, or worse. For the sake of human rights and a lax judicial system this lass seems to have got away with threatening all and sundry for some time. Of course she is not the only one and people like this are getting away with violent and agressive behaviour everyday... lots of them end up seriously hurting, and killing people. Sadly, I reckon that most of you would change your minds on wishing well, if any of these people took up their psychotic episodes on your nearest and dearest.

    Blame is placed upon parents, friends, addiction, society, but never upon the criminal... let them take accountability for their own actions for a change.

    I'm not going to wish her well in the future. I hope she has an awful time in the big house. Maybe finding someone bigger and scarier than herself to make her life a misery for the next 24 weeks will help her think again. I fear in some cases, good wishes will not.

    Here here! Well said.

  2. Just been browsing through your pics, Carole. As fascinating as ever. I remember a school group photo from Netherton school taken in the mid 1930's - featured the class dressed up as Robin Hood and his merry men. My dad was one of participents, but the pic has now been lost. It was in a shop window in bedlington if I remember correctly about 10 or so years ago - much to my late dad's delight! He had a copy made there and then. Unsure about the name of the shop, but it was a photographer's shop on Front Street East - opposite the church if I recall.

    Think the shop was "Wards" what is now a music teachers shop I think.

  3. can`t agree here, we are paying licence money to Ross he is an idiot who thinks he can do and say what he wants lets have some decency please, as for the idea of the Mail being a Nazi paper, my grandad always said their were plenty of Nazis in Bedlington, " gifted Radio Controller" who are you trying to kid.

    Quite. Ross is a talentless, overpaid, and arrogant. £6 million a year out licence payers money, whos idea was that?

    Apparently Gary Glitter has left a message on Jonathon Ross's answer machine saying that he has shagged his daughter.

    Whos laughing now?

  4. Yes they said there was no market for coal and it was tuppence a ton from abroad, turns out we cannot import enough and they are opening not closing mines. We paid fortunes to make miners redundant, then kept them on the dole, now we dont have enough coal. If the railways had remained state run alot of people may still be alive today.

    The far east produces cheap low quality goods its true, but we can compete by providing quality.

    As wages and aspirations of the workers in these countries increase we will find a more level playing field.

  5. I remember Tony, he was underground I was an electrician on surface at that time, I new his father after he married a good friend of ours. (dart players!) He was the mine manager until he retired and also lives in B.C. and regularly visits his daughter across the road from us, I believe they were from Ashington.

    Grande Cache is about 5 hours west of Edmonton (our local city) you would have passed through Jasper which is only about 2 hours south of us but also in the mountains. Yes it has been cold -30c but it's only -5c today.

    How did you like it over here?

    Vic

    Small world!! yes we liked it out there very much. We have visited Canada and the US a lot as my brother lives in California (ex Ashington pit electrician) and we have freinds in Ontario, Alberta and BC. Tony offered me a job at the mine at Campbell River, but I have a lot going on here, and to be honest I like living in Bedlington! but i can see the attraction in moving out there.

    Are you from Bedlington origionally?

  6. If it was in the past 31 years I'll know them! G.C. is a small remote town!

    Vic

    Tony Robson (electrician at the coal mine) think his Dad was a manager there also.

    Tony is now on Vancouver Island, visited him last summer.

    We never got to Grand Cache but we stayed in Edmonton and went through the Icefields etc.

    Very nice place, bet its cold there now.
