Talc ... is that you?

Aye its him Symp! and where have you been this last few months?

I'm not sure about facts and figures but I lived at the "Gate" around about the era you're talking about, I used  Teeny's and Rhoda's fish shop and also knew Syd very well. My mother worked as  barmaid at the Gate Club and I thought at the time someone called Lockey was Steward but I couldn't argue, maybe someone on here can confirm?

Just now, Damian Robson said:

I was looking at the picture of the Netherton's miners march and the person marked number 9 could be my Dad, David Robson aka Mixer?. I've shown him the pic and he can't remember for sure whether he was there that day but says, "it looks like my stance". My Dad's memory is fading with time but remember's Alan Stappard who lived across the back lane on Third Street. He described the accident in detail where Alan was working on machinery which was used to cut into the coal face and switched on prematurely before he had finished and was killed. In the picture I've added two thumbnail pictures of my Dad to compare and it could be him, I will ask him again soon to see whether if he remembers anything more.

Damian, I was very close and good friends with Mixer, I haven't seen him for years, hope he's well and tell him Foxy is asking after him.

  A strong opposition is vital to a healthy democracy. Malcome, you need to learn how to take criticism without  resorting ill tempered and somewhat  sarcastic retorts.      

So is it all one way traffic Moe19?

Take care  Bedlingtonian, voicing an alternative opinion is frowned upon ,

Maybe that's why no one is attending those meetings

 

Or perhaps they could be spineless and prefer to hide behind a nom de plume.? Turns out some of them don't know where they live....East ...West.. Central,  do we really need them at the meetings?

I can only assume Bedlingtonian does not make up one of the six residents that attend the WBTC meetings regularly, otherwise he would be aware that the efforts of Malcolm are not limited to "the moving of monuments, painting railings and the Bedlington Terrier seats".

New album created no problem, (with an assortment of pics)  I've left it in the Gallery for now,  you have my sympathy Eggs  as I had a similar problem that you are now having and it cured itself without explanation???

Eggs, meetings are now held in Bedlington Community Centre and the cost has risen to £2 per visit or £10 annual membership. Just have to have a half instead of a pint when we come out

Happy Birthday Malcolm !!

The Library Assistant at Bedlington has confirmed today that the Public are not allowed to use their toilets as they are   "downstairs in the staff quarters"

As it is the Library is open for the public to use their toilets and are now being paid to do so..........

I was refused the use of the Library toilets four weeks ago, The Librarian told me they weren't for public use but I should be able to use the Health Centres Loo if they were open.

It's the quayside Vic, the Tall ships are in for four days and then leave tomorrow and will race to Gothenburgh, unfortunately I cannot show you any pics of the ships as they are way down my list of interests so didn't bother to take any. There's a couple in the background here.

Went to see the Tall Ships in Blyth today and got fixed up with a date for Friday, I've got the one on the right so if anyone fancies the one on the left she's looking for someone with plenty money !
