That's him HPW!

Black pitch! Throughout my first pregnancy HPW. It was hard to find though.

You mean your cat has a mobile phone Merc! Impressive!

I beleive the Francis pit shaft was bricked up and covered with girders/Railway lines in the early 50's after Granny Watson's son (20 third street) fell in and died there. We Always called it Choppington Lonnen, to distinguish it from the 'other' lonnen that went past the club and on towards Short's Farm and Hepscott. That was sometimes called the Black Lonnen but more often than not it was simply called the Lonnen.

I can certainly remember Writing letters to get information on industry, Maggie, but I never got any trips out to see any pop stars. However, I did get enough Fairy Household Soap to keep my mother happy for over a year.

Looking forward to your posts AB

Whitley Bay, Maggie! You didn't half get about. I only got there on gala day.

Worth thinking about!

Better late than never, as the saying goes! Hope it was a good one.

Got to agree with GGG on this one!

Couldn't get past 2, Eggy! I couldn't even get as far as 2 (or even 1, if I'm honest).

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy Birthday, dear Merc Happy birthday to you. Sung to the tune of Happy Birthday to you.

Thanks Symptoms.

Well thanks for that. I've had it all wrong for years!

Good question, Adam!

In Old English Bede is actually spelled 'Baed' and comes from the Word meaning to pray. However, I Think Cuthbert was his pupil so Bede was probably named before Cuthbert died. Didn't Bede die Before Cuthbert?

Or a tattooist, Merc. How on Earth does Bedlington support two tattoo parlours?
