I think that is one of the most informative posts on the boards, well done John keep them coming.

Sorry sir...............

Worth watching through........bleeping jackasses, bleeping morons! Basically swap the UK institutions for the US ones and hey presto..............

The thing about Maggie is that she brings out two sentiments in people they either love her or loath her. I do think there are one or two bits of UK history we can thank her for but on the whole her influence has been a destructive one. Even with the positive ones there is a destructive quality to them! She certainly reshaped the socio/economic values of the country by tearing apart social cohesion in communities, allowing greed to be the determining factor in private economic development and I agree the seeds of the present crisis can be trailed back to her. Is the fact that she did this singlehandedly (well with a bunch of Muppets by and large) worth adulation? She was clearly deranged and unhinged in her second term maybe if the men in white coats had gone in then…………………. Good to get some real other perspective Keith.

Can't argue with any of that Adam..........my tongue was firmly in cheek!

''Everybody kept going back to the ham, not the turkey, not the pork or the beef, that ham was to die for.'' Any chance of getting the dripping for my sandwiches in the New Year Keith............ The wafer thin cut pack of value ham we had for Xmas dinner didn't have any............

If I remember correctly Cooper's had a lot of the rides at the Spanish City.

One of Hollywood's most famous animals, Cheetah the chimpanzee from the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s, has died aged 80.

Pathetic ………. Even if they ripped it off the police site there is only one reason for getting it so wrong, sloppy journalism.

Good to have you back Merlin. I can understand your frustration reading your other post about business rent and rates. Did you know business rates are to take a 5.5% hike in April? So the breathing space they have been given this year is about to come back and hit everyone in the face. Rents have been going upwards too, what a way to stimulate new business activity! On top of that the domestic rates look to be under renewed pressure as the county try to balance its budget. Seems they will take the Government shilling this year again but really that can only make rises that much greater in future! Swerving service delivery onto the Parish councils, who will then have to charge us extra for them, while retaining that part of the county rate which we paid for these services means we will be hit with double taxation for the same service delivery! So rising costs and a squeeze on disposable incomes at the same time, this is going to end very badly especially in towns like Bedlington which seems to be already clinging to viability. To add further insult to injury County are now looking to impose a hierarchical structure onto the towns in the county and Bedlington is to be relegated into 'B' class status so it will no longer be a Market Town it will be a 'district centre'. It would seem someone agrees with your Ghost Town status! As for the much promised redevelopment by Tesco have a look at this..

IF MY BODY WAS A CAR.. If my body was a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close My traction is not as graceful as it once was.. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter, either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

Doglover, I just think it's cleva the way it uses what you actually draw as opposed to something you are allowed to draw.

Happy birthday Pete.................

Saying nowt me...............

Funnily enough Foxy just been talking about those solar panels…………..as they are pointing east and lower than the next door roofline wonder how efficient they are? Think I read somewhere solar panels can be fitted without planning consent now? Course you are right to point out the discrepancies inherent within the conservation area maybe we should call it a conversation area.
