John Fox (foxy)

To be honest I can't ever remember tables and chairs in there Brian, that is why I put a ? in there, John Whales did have that place though.

My better half has just been reading these last few posts and she says were all wrong about the fish shop with seats.She says the one with seats was next door to the chemist where Walter Wilson is now and it was called Patties, she's probably right cos she's never wrong!

I'm sure somebody has suggested a loo or two, though I can't see it on here.

A dog loo sounds a good idea.

I was unlucky enough to walk down there on Sunday morning when the Grand Prix was diverted from Korea.The speed humps are too far apart and are doing nothing to slow down the traffic.

Congratulations,

heh, it's fine. I don't think the other half would appreciate the change in direction this close to d-day although it could have resulted in me being around the house more.

Whats happening on d-day?

The Chef is on holiday - reopening in about 3 weeks

They took my wifes weekly reservation for a week past Thursday night and the place was locked up when she and her mates got there.so lets hope they have good weather while on holiday! Can't see the wife wanting to take a chance booking here again.

Looks like the plug may have been pulled.

Don't think Brian meant this sort of tall redhead foxy!

Youv'e got it wrong again Malcolm, the taller one of the two was actually in there with me, she's my wife, I'm just wondering how you got her photo?

Was anyone in the red lion last neet ?

I was in Friday night but didn't see any 6ft 3" redheads!

So you like !*!@# then Keith?

They've blanked it Keith,it began with a P.

Purrrrrrrrfect

So you like !*!@# then Keith?

My Dad once told me that after the War there were some polish miners at Ashington pit and for Bait they would bring cans of Kit e Kat

and spread it on sliced bread, no one ever told them what it really was!! they loved it and it was cheap!!

The only problem with this is. after three days you start licking your own a*se

And the quicker we get shot of them ,the better.

Now there's a good idea. Why don't we have a Bedlington pantomime?

We've already got one.Its called Knights of the round table and King ARTHURS men

Yep, totally agree, County Hall is full of clowns talking undecipherable (what a bloody word, is the spelling right?) jibberish, but they still manage to make people laugh.

The a*se end of a pantomine donkey will always make people laugh!

You already know the answer to that one Malcolm, but getting back to my pet subject,the "In" place to advertise at the moment seems to be ELLIOTS GARAGE. Don't know if the owner is being paid or if the Moskow State Circus has just stuck their posters up there without permission but it's time the council got their fingers out and sorted it out. Moskow State Circus just about sums up County Hall.

Just to add to the previous post,these posters are in the same conservation area where private home owners are being told what they can and cannot do to their own properties.

I think the question should be, how did you know about it then Foxy?

On which topic, the same can be said for last week's Heritage Open Day(s) and Portrait Bench unveiling in Gallagher Park. The former were said to have been a success (thanks more to St Cuthberts' own poster campaign then anything, I suspect), but the latter was attended only by those few directly involved in the event itself; members of the general public were largely unaware of what was happening (probably still are), yet they are the ones who need to be drawn in.

Regeneration will never happen if initiatives are buried in - I'm sorry to say it - little-used web sites and the insides of a local paper.

I could go on, but won't.

You seem to be generalising here.I was at the event and met people like myself who were not directly involved.

what pub or club were you in to pay £2.90 ?. for a pint of larger .

Quite a few, and on Friday night I was in Newcastle paying £3.20.

They did not sell lager last time I was in there, it was all beer, if my memory serves me right it was one and thrupence a pint. Come to think of it there was larger it was Carling black label it was more of a ladies tipple I think, not sure if you can still get that.

Unfortunately The Carling Is easier to get than the Ladies!

Sorry Pete, should have said eleven bob.

Probably changed a bit since 1965 keith

Lagers up from 64p to £2.90.

Starting to creak at the joints yet?

One of our administrators could probably give you a telly for each of those stands in there!

Foxy, that might have induced another one of Merlin’s most loved quangos, the Race Relations Board!

Don't think so,he's got nowt against them.
