Guess Where
Foxy, I posted before that I thought it was the old Gables surgery at Bedlington station - that's what it looks like. Did you see the posting or am I wrong?

Lost Cat
One of my cats went missing on 15 April 2013 from the Terrier Close area. He is more kitten than cat and is black with a white mark on his chest. He has a long bushy tail. He is a rescue cat and hasn't got a name yet. If any one has seen him can you please contact me ASAP. Cheers, Keith.

Does Anyone Know Anything About The Glove Factory ?
Hi Katie, welcome aboard. Here is a photograph of the Glove factory workers. (Xmas Party) My mother used to work there - she is right at the front in the middle, wearing a red top. This must have been in the seventies.

Music Shops!?
Cheers Orloff, I remember the old Rediffusion shop at Vulcan Place but not a music shop. It might sound silly but I have very little memory of things before about 8 yrs old. The problem me and my bro are having is that neither of us can remember my mother buying records!!! But the records we had were new releases!! So where was she getting them from? I can't imagine my mother going out and buying a Stones record either! It's baffling us.

Margaret Thatcher
I've just realised I would have the same feelings towards Gordo that I have towards Maggie. I loathe both. I'm living in a democratic society and I don't trust any political party. As I say, a rock and a hard place.

Blair and Brown, if I'm not wrong. It seems to go with the job.

Margaret Thatcher
That's the point I'm making, Ex, but if you read on...It eventually took her own party members to get rid of her. It's a bit of a polemic when a PM is voted in by the populace...who a vast amount eventually turn out to hate her...then her own party does an Ides of March on her. She must have crossed the Rubicon at some stage! But I reiterate, never before have i witnessed so much hatred towards a British PM. People can put rose-tinted glasses on if they wish, but the facts are that Maggie is hated by many and she was ditched by her own colleagues. The end of her reign wasn't exactly a triumph of democracy!

Oh of course, Malcolm, I slap my wrist.

Margaret Thatcher
It is a weird thing - regarding respect / disrespect of Margaret Thatcher's demise, because I have never known so much hatred towards a British PM. What do outsiders make of all this. Someone in another country is seeing people in England celebrating her death; they see people having street parties. Doesn't this tell you something about how a vast amount of people, here, feel towards this woman. She was our prime Minister and yet she was / is loathed by many. How the **** did she ever last three terms? What happened to democracy? If the people hated her so much then how did she last so long? It eventually took her own party members to get rid of her but her legacy rolls on with the present government. It just makes you wonder why we vote at all. Labour is a waste of time, thanks to Gordo, so who else is there to vote for? No one. The term a rock and a hard place springs to mind.
