John Fox (foxy)

It sure is !!!!

Go to the back of the class Maggie!!

Half way there, have a Guddin ......................

The jobs are going to be a big loss but the Horseburgers won't be missed.

Doesn't look like Yesterday Brian!

Here it is

I've been in touch with my Union Shop Steward Tony, who in turn contacted area head office, they agree if it had been the Labour Party advertising it would have been acceptable but they cannot condone others maybe making inroads into the Bastion. They could be visiting County Hall soon if there's an inquiry into the Tescogate affair, in which case they'll pop down here and have the offending advert removed.

Well you can like it or lump it toffo if I thought being a moderator denied me of my right to have an opinion then I wouldn't have taken on the task, just because my opinion is different to yours doesn't mean that I'm wrong and your right. What gives you the right to have a "poke" at the good work done by the volunteers of the Bedlington in Bloom Group? I'm known locally by most folk as Foxy hence my user name on here, In reality I'm John Fox I don't need to hide behind a pseudonym and I will be at the Council Meeting tomorrow night mouthing off about the current situation in the town..not on a website but face to face with the Council. When I stand up and say my name to identify myself give me a nudge, we'll have a chat and maybe sort out our differences. Alternatively if I don't get the nudge I could ask at the meeting...........Is toffo here?

She's having a good day Vic, and living out of the area she's got more idea about Bedlington than some of the whinging locals that sit back and do nothing.

Thanks for clarifying that Adam, I wasn't sure of the situation before but now I don't know.

Positive thinking Canny lass, worth voting that post up!!

I got them back Merc,they were behind the Bar, (specs) however I'm considering loaning them out to anyone who may now be under the impression that the place ran aground.

Where did you get your "facts"

You failed to mention the Ashington MP who needs to be Replaced with Anyone from Any political party that is prepared to Fairly represent the town on a Level playing field.

This was my other "achilies heel" merc I used this one twice a day, funny how its length varied depending on if I was starting or finishing work

When I came out of the Red Lion on Tuesday night at 23.50 freezing the b******s off and walking towards the Foxes Den, that stretch of Dual Carriageway appeared to have four lanes and was possibly the Longest in the UK !!

I think Its time to call in the services of Lieutenant Columbo

On a nail in the wall of the outside Nettie

The Town Council past and present aren't to blame for the Tesco Debacle or the lack of investment in the Town. The blame lies solely with our County Councillors and the Member of Parliament that was elected to represent us. They have failed miserably to support us whilst channeling their efforts and our monies into a neighbouring town of the MPs choice. They are aware of this website and get regular news feeds of what is being discussed on here, some of them may be members but unfortunately they choose not to respond because they can't defend their actions.

You must have misread my post Maggie, I wasn't meaning an attempt to save what we have, I was looking for investment. The people you mention above are the root cause of the problem, we even have Bedlington reps campaigning for investment into Ashington in their quest to suck up the MPs backside. Hopefully we can get rid of them before they watch the lights being switched off for the last time.

Maggie, I'm not sure on all the facts yet but I'm led to believe that if we can get a petition signed by 10,000 people then by law the issue has to be discussed at Westminster As there are around 15,000 people in Bedlington, a large number of which are unhappy at the performance of our elected representatives who haven't supported us, then we shouldn't have a problem getting the required number of signatures. I'm sure we could muster up enough volunteers to collect the names and hopefully get someone else to give us the support that has not been given from the present regime. What do you think?

Dear Maggie915 thank you for your letter informing us of an opportunity to invest in your Town, however after contacting your County Council regarding this matter they have stated categorically that any investment whatsoever in the Wansbeck constituency must go into..... Ashington. We hope this clears up the matter and just like your representatives at County HQ and Westminster, we don't want to hear from you again!

Then I must have cheap Asian rubbish cos its not back on!!

So now we're talking colours I'll put it in Black and White.....we need to get rid of the Labour controlled administration at County Hall, these people have stood back and watched Bedlington decline while they've channelled all available investment into a neighbouring town. Morpeth will be next to feel the brunt after they move County HQ to the same town...I said at last weeks Town Council meeting and will say it again both NCC and the MP have abandoned Bedlington.
