Tonyp, it would seem a much more open way to promote a political party than using a public petition about a community issue with only the small print at the bottom saying people were actually giving their contact details to a political party for them to sue as they saw fit……………………………………………………………………………………Ok so you would never dream of being a censor, you just wants the mods to censor anything you might disapprove of?

Tonyp, reading your first post it looks like you are wanting to be the self-proclaimed censor for Bedlington. Isn't the whole process about giving people enough information to make an informed choice? I know that's not what anyone around here has been used to but it doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try to buck the historical trend………………………………………………………………………………………… As for your other point are those parties legitimate political parties within our Sceptred Isles and if so don't they have the same right as your preferred political party of choice? Or is that not the way you see the system working?

Easy listening......

hmmmmmm.........

Trying to get it on the agenda for next weeks Bedlington in Bloom meeting ex B. Shouldn't be a problem.

Just been saying exactly the same thing last night merc. We need to be different, not try and compete with shopping centres which can easily outstrip us in terms of investment and infrastructure. That's how we can maximise the potential Bedlington's placeman in the local map could afford us...................................................................................... Don't think Woodhorn is making a huge profit or a profit at all merc. I know the board of trustees were having a few sleepless nights!........................................................................................ As for Attlee Park……..Heritage Trust…W.T.H. is the Heritage Trust?................................... The improvements down there are really down, in the main part, to a local community group Leading Link who led on the funding and project managed the whole development. The Bedlingtonshire Development Trust introduce the site, helped get the funding and when the project derailed pushed it back onto the tracks. TWO COMMUNITY GROUPS MAKING A REAL PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE TO BEDLINGTON! A local lad who lives across the road even lent a hand and the stone work etc is down to his hard work. Thanks John. We now have Town Council backing the Park and funding the new path and seats there. (More to come!) Council are also looking to get the toilets reinstated down there, at least for events. So yes merc the idea is the use that park much more and several events are in the pipeline.

I thought some of us had been to a political hustings in Bedlington Adam?

Thanks for the idea Canny lass, I'll try and get back with a costed menu........

Well I was going to have a pop back at Tony and toffo but I think merc and Canny lass have said it....................................... It all about getting off our arses and doing something positive for a change! I have said it before but it really is up to us, the community, to fight our way out of the position this town is in and BiB group shows what can be achieved. Even the 1400+ page views in a week on Facebook is better than any other group hereabouts and that promotes a positive face for Bedlington to the world. It's about making upgrades to your environment to show anyone looking in there is a scintilla of pride still aboard here. It's about providing an example of how people just getting together to tackle a common problem can usually overcome it. That BiB group won't be beaten, there is more grit, intelligence and determination within their ranks than we can see in the whole of County Hall as far as I am concerned. ........................................................... So toffo and Tony tell us what you guys are doing to turn the fortunes of our Town around and let us know how we can help you because your schemes must be so much more important and pertinent?

Leave Bedlington in Bloom alone toffo, I will defend them against anyone! Check them out.........https://www.facebook.com/bedlingtoninbloom

Like it says.............

So was I merc..........like I said copy and paste!

I'd be more excited if they scrapped the connection charge and used advertising to replace it. At the mo we get blitzed with adverts and pay to see them!

I know and thanks for sending me to a soft porn site!

People can see we can all cut and paste merc or are you suggesting every joke on here is the the original work of whoever posted it? Now that would be funny!

Are the costings correct though merc?

Its appeared several times in the Big Bang Theory, seems to be Lenard's favourite tipple.

Claim it Merc and see what happens!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to back up my version then Foxy!

Do we really want this here................no way! https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/hands-off-our-coastline?source=facebook-share-button&time=1423174601

Oh yes Maggie and..................

As far as I can remember rosco and streaching the 20 to 25.........Ashington 4 and Blyth 3.

BUTTERCUPS AND GOLF BALLS Towards the end of a round of golf, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty, yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back into play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden, POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, 'I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me to make those buttercups? Just for doing what you have done, you won't have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life... better still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life... As a matter of fact, you'll never have any butter for anything for the rest of your life!!!' Then…POOF! She was gone! After Dave recovered from shock, he hollered for his friend, 'Fred, where are you?' Fred yells, 'I'm over here, in the pussy willows.' Dave shouts back, 'DON'T SWING, Fred. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T SWING!'
