Following a long absence on this site I have just become aware of Derek's passing today, sad news indeed. A true gentleman respected by all who were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of his company.

@Sloopy .Dog - I have added the names of collieries I can remember that were in the area - don't think I've missed one but @HIGH PIT WILMA will keep me right. There was a railway link between the tow Bedlington pits and they both dumped the waste onto the same pit heap.
The site of the 'A' pit main shaft can be located on the Bower grange estate by the vent that was installed. I don't know exactly where it is but @John Fox (foxy) might be able to tell you.
Behind Harewood Drive.

I'm fine! just been too busy coping with the heatwave and all the mature fruit it suddenly produced in the garden. Anyone want jam? I've got 37 lbs of it! I've kept up to date reading the site (on my phone - not the best instrument for writing replies) but most non-essential, heat-producing electrical goods (computers among them) have been 'in lockdown'. Thanks for your concern.
Not sure why this comment needed to be approved by a mod, maybe @Andy Millne could have a look?

Happy Birthday John. Have a really good day. I'm sure your missus will be spoiling you enormously. Where are you hiding yourself these days?
Thank you CL, yes the missus certainly did spoil me yesterday, I was allowed to cook her dinner whilst she watched the football on the telly. I was also spoiled be the daughter earlier in the day,.... she had me laying flagstones in her back garden. Pleased it's only once a year!!😄 Thanks to all for the Birthday wishes.👍

Thanks John! We seem to be having a lot of this kind of 'advertising' lately. Can we just report it and have it removed?
Aye, I've just got back to being able to access the forum hassle free, thanks to Andy!

It's unblocked at McAfee so there may be a local cache that needs updating on your computer. Try again in a few hours. To workaround you can whitelist the 31.193.136.176 IP
Tried it tonight and look what I got !!!!!!!! Thank you @Andy Millne

Have you tried twiddling the hoojackapivvy on the whotsit? Failing that a good old slap to the thingamyjig might do the trick! No need to thank me lads.
I usually tried that on a Thursday night after departing the Red Lion about 11.45 pm and sometimes it worked, however Boris stopped all that a few months back so now it's all down to Andy to sort out!

I installed Mcfee Alan and nothing else is a problem, only this website

Can anyone tell me how to overcome my new laptop blocking this forum? Only way I can access the website is by turning off the firewall. All other websites are available with firewall switched on.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone, I've not been on here for a while, my new laptop keeps telling me "access denied check your firewall settings" 🤔 I haven't a clue how to fix it, it's the only page I cannot access, what have you lot been up to ? 😄

I remember it from the late sixties, I often did off from work in my dinner hour on a Friday to have their "lunchtime special" Chicken Chow Mein which cost 7/6d. I think the place was formerly Ginny's fish shop.

I miss the members list as it was previously. I've also got two memberships now since early this week when I was attempting to log on with a different device. It created a second account for me and I cannot delete it?

I've had the same concerns, we keep in touch regularly and I sent him a message on facebook four days ago, he usually responds within a couple of hours. He still hasn't replied. @Canny lass

Hi Vic, I'm catching up on the D I Y duties around the house/garden although I'm having problems getting bits and pieces because most of the builders merchants will only supply the trade. My other pastimes are watching the missus hard at work , I could sit there for hours on end. 😃
We have no snow to clear here so during her allotted break we have a game of darts,...she's now beat me three nights running !🥵 On the plus side I'd just bought a new car before the current restrictions, It's doing three weeks to the gallon.
