We took my gravely ill father in law to the commemorative service at Morpeth a few years ago. My wife attends all of them now. Some inspirational women of today talking at these services!

In the News Post Leader 'All out yesterdays' section recently they reported plans by BUDC to build a shopping centre, hotel and leisure centre. That was 1962. In the early 70's I know there was project put forward to build a shopping centre on what has come to be known as the Gap Site. I have seen the plans! In the 90's I know there was a project put forward to build a walkthrough shopping centre on the Gap Site again. First two were stuffed by WDC, the last by NCC and the Health Authority. Seems Bedlington has always been well served by local authorities!

Never mind that what about a new Caledonia?

With thanks to Janet and her team at Ashington............. "Ashington Community Development Trust has opened a new retail unit on the ground floor of the Central Arcade, next to the Nisa supermarket. We chose the name "The Deputy's Kist” for this retail outlet because it acknowledges the history and tradition of the Town and reflects the treasure trove of products and services available. For those of our readers who may not be familiar with the word "kist”, the origin can been traced back to 1300 and the Middle English "kiste”, which is derived from the Old Norse, 'kista' (chest). More recently, "kist” has been used to describe a store of money or treasure, e.g. a kist of silver (1816). The word "kist” is still in use today, as a descriptive term for the mine deputy's work station or desk, where he would keep tools and papers."

Not picking up grass cuttings can't help neither!

Now boys, play nice, don't shoot the messenger! Actually he is quite often at Bedlington events.

I was once told about the bomber that crashed into the brickworks?

Birch the blaggard!

I would say about 92-93........Barrys Fresh Fish shop didn't last that long.

Ambassadors were tarted up hatch back versions of the old Princess's. Brought out in 82-83? That MkV Escort.. 'H' reg Aug 1990- Looks like a Mk1 Fiesta? Other side of the road looks to me like a Marina? And of course the ubiquitous school run buggy Volvo 244 estate.

Thanks Brett & Canny Lass.

Looks to me like any other form of investment is being 'Zirpd' to keep equities artificially high and protect bankrupt fiat currencies. I thought equities relied on fundamentals for their prices? The consumers are bust and the economies are over leveraged, even the best companies can't avoid a downgrade, or should be! If we had taken the bust in 2008-9 we would probably be coming out of it by now. Instead we allowed half witted politicians to be hook winked by their financial masters into protecting financial interests and socialising all mad banking losses. It can only end very badly indeed, we are bust and because of the scale there is no way out!
