Knocky door ginger - upgraded
I don't believe crime rates are falling I believe that ordinary folk have given up reporting them after waiting for days for police to respond, if at all. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8083115/Reporting-crime-is-a-waste-of-time-says-survey.html Police have said they will not send out officers to deal with shoplifters who steal goods worth less than £100. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/10/police-tell-town-will-not-chase-shoplifters-steal-less-100/ But if you are a rich luvvy or politician the law will turn out in force as they did for some bloke nicking Eddies pink beret,. Obviously not the fashion police http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37409551

La La Land
Your correct Maggie, new films dont do it for me, I would rather watch an old classic. How about this one for to bring a tear to your eye. They dont make em like they used to .

La La Land
So many of the films that the press and the Luvies rave about have been really naff , I remember them raving about silent movie a couple of years ago and it winning many awards, I personally found it a total load of plop. ,

Pro-Trump Petition
They can debate until they are blue in the face, the top and bottom of it is we need the yanks more than they need us and Don will have his day. Lets face it a lot worse than Don has graced the palaces dinner tables,

BT Call Protect
Brett I signed up with them years ago and have renewed my details a number of times but it made no difference to the huge number of calls we were receiving (mainly from abroad )
-
Pro-Trump Petition
I also signed it I thinks its unbelievable how the Biased Broadcasting Corporation and Sky are spending 24/7 Trump bashing (with a sprinkle of air time to Luvies remoning ) without giving Trump supporters views a mention. I also thought our overpaid underworked politicians would have had more important things to debate http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/01/29/poll-nearly-half-america-voters-support-trumps-immigration-order

Bedlington Morrisons R.I.P
Well Les I think the prices in Morrisons are very reasonable compared to Asda that we used to shop at, especially the butchers department that always has some sort of offer on, and as I said if you are not bothered about buying branded label's Morrisons savers range is excellent value, tins of some items as low as 10p. I wish Morrisons and its staff the best of luck for the future and hope those folks jobs are secure And I can assure you Les I don't believe everything I read or hear on the news

BT Call Protect
If you dial 1572 and listen to the options you can add a ban on withheld numbers, I have not done this and until now am still cold call free (fingers crossed )

Bedlington Morrisons R.I.P
Well Les I certainly hope it does survive, it employs over 100 people while the Lidle stores I have been in seem to work on a skeleton staff. I like named brands that are not available at Lidle so I wont be doing much in the way of shopping at the new store. Morrisons or Asdas own savers label; brands seem much cheaper than the unheard of foreign brands sold by Lidle. but I suppose it will suit some folk, They do seem to have had a lot of bad press lately https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2515563/couple-fear-they-have-tapeworms-after-finding-eggs-in-lidl-beef-steaks-they-had-eaten/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/17/alert-poisonous-paint-thinner-found-lidl-gravy/

List Of Pubs And Clubs - Bedlington District
The first Portakabin after the explosion was a small basic bar the second Portakabin (before the move to the Lairds house ) was a number of cabins joined together and was rather large, it had a full size snooker table and a pool table and on a Saturday night it had a disco and used to get packed, when the dance floor was full you could feel the floor moving under your feet. That cabin was more popular than the club it must have lasted about nine or ten years. I believe that cabin is still in use in Ashington.

Yes it seems not to mention the original Portakabin behind the Bluebell that was used until the new club was built

List Of Pubs And Clubs - Bedlington District
Some of the clubs have had a few incarnations Looking back at the Top Club since the seventies Eggy it was housed in five separate buildings that I can remember. When the old club blew up in the gas explosion it was then operated from a Portakabin in the top car park next to the public toilets behind the Blue Bell.(Chisholm bookmakers also had a cabin on that spot not sure if it was the old club cabin) The new top Club was built and opened on the bank on Glebe road in the mid to late seventies, when that building was found to have problems it closed and the club once again moved in to Portakabins in the clubs car park (now Morrisons store ) club number five was in the old Lairds house.
