John Fox (foxy)

Happy Birthday Adam.......... wish I was 19

Could it be the Light Studio?

Malcolm,

What a miserable effort, it's Choppington Lane if you look closely you'll see that Mrs Begbie was giving out Green Shield Stamps,thats more than your getting!!

Is it still there foxy?

This is as much as your getting, if you don't get it now you've got a dry week ahead.

Is that your round twice now then foxy?????

Right Malc,

Time to change the rules before you get drunk, if you get this one you get a third pint, if you need a second pic you get a half, if you hav'nt got it by then you get nowt !

Front Street East , would guess it is where the dentists is, best guess i can give .

Well Adam,

Your off the mark a bit, however it was always going to be an Old Codger that got this one first time.

Where's this and what is it now?

this photo was taking from the bridge that went over the train lines at bedlington station.

Is that you crossing the lines there Beddies?

this photo was taking from the bridge that went over the train lines at bedlington station.

Aye your right Bedies but we want to know what was showing at the pics, and what time the ice cream lass came around. :icecream:

No prizes for guessing where this one was taken from, a regular spot for getting smoke and steam up your Jacksy!

Maybe tomtom or Symp can tell us what was on at the pictures.

The answer I'm looking for isn't,

"The lights if you get there Early"

Yeah but still had years left in her but she was scrapped. Here she is looking a bit better in 1963:

Didn't think an old Boiler could turn as many mens Heads. :dribble:

Once in the 70s my Kings Cross train to chillyjockoland was sent through Bedders ... it made my day!!!

Was it this one?

Can I get my gallon of diesel foxy?

Certainly looks like the tip is disappearing fast......

Have Patience Malcolm,

A little birdie told me we could even see building work starting there next month!

Unfortunately it was a Swallow and I was also told that one does'nt make a Summer.

By The Way, moderators and their families are not allowed to enter competitions on this site (inside information)

so, NO you can;t have your Diesel.

Guess it's at the old brickworks in Bedlington Station - long demolished and now housing - am I right?

tomtom gets first prize of 10 "Free Pint Tickets" to be used in the Bar of the new Sports and Leisure Facility to be built at Gallagher Park, If we keep fighting!

I was standing on the Welwyn Bridge the year is 1980. This photo was taken from the same spot on Friday Morning last week but can't get exactly the same angle for the trees.

Have a Guddin !!!!! :icecream:

Kendo Nagasaki? sounds a bit painful to me,........think I'll keep mine covered up! Nice to meet you Mercuryg

It seems that most of the drinking fraternity here in Bedlington find it somehow necessary to swear at every given opportunity, and yes that includes the women. Could some Bedlington councillors please congregate in the pubs and get these people put away by complaining to lily for the 180 to 540 days they so obviously need to stop them. I'm wondering if this will bring people back into pubs if they are not subjected to the torrent of bad language at the bar by the unshaved (sometimes unwashed) groups of men and women when ordering their *-!"£%^& pint.

However this is my final word on the subject.

We at the Black Bull welcome the local language used in the book, in all respects, okay Foxy?

Aye thats always been okay with me, but you need a little memory jogger as to who complained in the first place.You also had your final word on the subject and then you've raised the issue again. To use the local dialect

"THAS NOWT QUEERER THAN FOLK"

:D

A common misconception of the gender!

I can only get away with saying that Malcolm because she does'nt visit this site.

Is that still going by the way - Encyclopaedia Britannica?

No..........my wife took over, she knows everything. :thumbsdown:

There are establishments in the town that do not permit bad language, Bedlington Market place Club being one of them.if it is used on these premises the customer is asked to refrain and if it happens again they would be asked to leave.The management would then decide if they will accept an apology or ban the customer for a set period. As for you stating that you have not had a complaint about bad language being used on your premises,if you refer back to your first post YOU WERE THE ONE THAT COMPLAINED. You started to dig a hole for yourself with your first post by condemning your own customers and its getting deeper and deeper.

It did have a makeover foxy it was knocked down and the Current Ridge Farm was built, don't know if you have a picture of it being pulled down?

Sorry I hav'nt Adam but here's a one of the Market Place Netties being pulled down instead. :dribble:

L.ooks like it could do with a Makeover!!

I also don't find it acceptable to listen to swearing but I also don't comment.....for fear of further abuse. Some people on here have suggested that I use some of the pubs in Bedlington for my cake club and I have considered this, but after reading this post I'm not so sure. I don't want my members to be subjected to swearing. I have witnessed the people standing outside of the grapes swearing and also a lad who, I now know drinks in there regularly, boasting about his drug addiction on the bus. Of course, if it ever becomes popular to swear and snort a line of coke, in full view, at afternoon tea in the ritz then it'll all be fine

This post proves the point that I was trying to make, the initial accusation is bringing bad publicity to the town, The sad part is if you read his comments on the subject he contradicts himself and still has'nt answered the question "do you tolerate bad language in your pub" Don't let this guy put you off patronising the towns pubs, we're not all bad

It seems that most of the drinking fraternity here in Bedlington find it somehow necessary to swear at every given opportunity, and yes that includes the women.

If you think it is bad language is not acceptable then tell the proprietor, bar manager/ess or barperson concerned. If they choose to ignore your complaint, take the business elsewhere. If you want to live with it and educate your family in that manner, stay there. Nothing more to be said really.

It seems to me that foul language and fashion are the order of the day. Fashion I can live with, foul language I choose not to.

I would also add that I have only met a couple of people in my short time here in Bedlington so far whom I do not want in my establishment, and strangely neither of these were for language reasons.

So is your establishment swearing or non swearing?
