This is one of the people who did plant them Canny Lass, Don't have a clue who the strange bloke is, Malcolm may have an idea.

See poster.....

It looks better now then it did a year ago. Was not a fan of the dark brown shop front.

I would say if I was asked what are the first things that come to mind when someone says Bedlington I would say Terrier and Station. I also think most people would think that if they knew very little to nothing about the town.

I heard the same rumour Chris that jobs had been advertised in the job centre with the Ridge Farm Reopening. Also Malcolm here are some of the problems that i found when it was still going but before I stopped going in about 2010/11 and in recent times: The Felt roof at the front of the building was leaking in heavy rain due to no place for it to run off to and never was repaired to my knowledge. The garage on the side went on fire after an electric fault (junction box burst into flames) I heard, but was repaired so sounds like it needs a whole new electrical system, The Toilets could do with a refurbishment as they are not the best. The doors on and in the building need replacing also as they used to let in one hell of a draught. The carpets need replacing as they have worn out in places.

It is a nice loco Keith and was restored locally (Hepscott) and is owned by Ian Storey.

Welcome to the Site Bayardm. The shop front that the florists is now in was never done under the THI, also the heritage paintwork i am not sure about it. The earliest I have seen of a photo of the shop is when it was W. Wards photo shop and it was white in the photo, then blue, then in recent years it was brown.

Better late then never Foxy, Happy Birthday. Hope you enjoyed your birthday bash at Attlee Park

It is not only a Heritage Line steam engine, it also runs on the mainline from time to time.

Sorry Brett did not mean voting online, I was not clear on the post i made. What I meant to say was If you don't register online, do you still get the letter via the post asking to register to vote?

A sad moment was announced today (14th June) that Sam Kelly has Died after a long illness. I am a fan of Sam Kelly's performance's in all the films and TV Series he was in, he was one of the best and he will be sadly missed, he will never be replaced, Rest In Peace Sam Kelly.

Reading on the county's website there. I can't understand it, will you still get a letter though if you ave not registered to vote online? Call me old fashioned

The same thing happens every time the planters are planted next to wetherspoons, the plants are pulled out and chucked on the pavement.

5 sacks Malcolm there was the Sunday I went and clear a bit away as well.

Several members of my family on both my mum and dads side served in both world wars. I am unsure of which units/battles they thought in, but I am interested to find out. I know my great grandfather served as a ambulance driver in the Somme during the 1st world war, He never spoke about the war to my grandfather or my mum, same with my great uncle who served in the Royal Navy, He never spoke about the war either. I can only imagine the horrors they witnessed, disfigurement, dismemberment, severe burns on the body, the list is endless. I am proud to said my family did their bit to keep this country safe and free.

What ever happened to the Bedlington? http://www.circlecity.co.uk/oldpics/bedlington_ship.php

Thanks everyone for your messages.

Thanks Everyone.

We all love your rants Bill But I still believe there should be a memorial to miners who died down Bedlingtonshire pits, but i can't get anyone to help me with it so I have had to drop the idea.

Nice to see some parish councils are non-political.

One statement I can never get over is "those from low-income backgrounds" How is that line drawn? Is it if your parents have less then £10,000 a year income? I read an interesting thing about this very subject: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/simon-cowell-baby-not-inherit-2252368 Simon Cowell will not give his son a penny and he is a multi millionaire. It does not matter how poor or rich your parents are, it does not say they will give their children money to get a bus or further your education. And with youth Unemployment up so high how are the children meant to get the money?

Looks like people in general are sick of politics a 34.19% turnout and only 4 parties got an increase in votes more then last year that is: UKIP up 10.99% Labour up 9.67% Scottish National Party up 0.34% and Socialist Party of Great Britain up 0.02% Everyone else has fallen or stayed at 0%

Funniest video ever:

Both left and right three G. Mainly the extreme left and right (BNP, Socialist Labour Party, etc. also the "eco friendly" groups Greenpeace, Green Party, etc.) They will never support it so as I said not all political parties/groups will support it.

There are some people and parties in the political movement that would love to see every single coal mine close never to open again and would not give there support to miners buying and running the mine.
