Netherton (Naval) Club - for Cympil's collection

Great pictures Eggy. -
Good Luck Paul. Hope the web site draws lots of local people to read about your writing career.

Not heard anything Bedlingtonian. So many of these new builds are Private Finance Initiatives. Local and national tax payers finance the schemes on buy now pay later.
-
You could be right Symptoms. There seems to be a 'self destruct ' button.

Fixing this swimming pool would be 'small change' to Arch. I like the idea of a new leisure centre instead of houses on the site next to Hazlemere. Then these people could be employed in the new centre. In the mean time 'Arch please please fix the pool'

Thing is do I let the Grandkids play with it and others maybe priceless toys. Decisions decisions! Life can be difficult.

To sell or not to sell.

I prefer the meaning of life . Maybe along the lines of The meaning of life lies with each other grandparents parents sisters and brothers. Obviously friends add to that mix particularly if you are an only one. Sorry to lower/raise the tone but there have been three deaths to cope with this week.

Aye 'we were poor but we were happy' As Monty Python might say! What comedy programme gave us the line 'I love scrap me' Now it is the scrap van recycling our old washers etc No rags or bones. The rags need to go to charity or 'Cash for Clothes' Then there is the Vintage shop next to The Red Lion. Such choice . Cash for a Clothes could do with a new vintage window if anyone has a spare.. One window fell out and has been replaced .

It brings a new level to 'Self Preservation'. I wonder if they feel they could have done better.

Sorry Vic I forgot to reply to you about Church Lane. The traffic on the Lane is a problem with The Church life meeting up with the developers HGV's. Etc. Reversing skills are essential. As we all know there are ways around but not for the biggest vehicles. Basically traffic wars.

Just Bedlington mercuryg. Not sure 'quietly incognito' applies. Any classic spy must be aware The Red Lion is not the place to go. Love the idea of The Times folded under one arm, a carnation in the right buttonhole and a badge saying 'I am mercuryg' Symptoms of course would have The Guardian folded under one arm. Many times in Bedlington I have said 'I am not too sure who that is ' to be told of course you do it's so and so daughter/ son etc

Maybe a change of plan with a new labour leader.

Shame and scandal in the family! Waldock/Smith/Walker
Maggie/915 replied to Paul Billanie's topic in Friends and Family
There was a family called Walker living in Church Lane. They owned a butchers shop at the Market Place. Circa 50's -
Obviously a memorable date Foxy! Then there are always three point turns.
-
Open Season. Aye and who believes you. Just not in my back yard. Only react to the disease not the cause. Sadly.
-
If you plan to die or get married beware you may meet with a large vehicle on this narrow lane. Practice reversing first.

Seems to me that the developers win every time. The Core Strategy Brief Guide States 'We have to consider some new developments on green field sites and in the Green Belt' The guide proposes a managed approach to reviewing the existing Green Belt, in order that we protect it against pressure from inappropriate developments. Open Season.

This site could be bought by Arch for a hotel.
-
I wonder if a voluntary group does the flowers in Morpeth. If not Bedlington should get a very special award. Great effort and good publicity .
-
Those were the days. A belt made to last . Your tale reminds me off the film 'The Producers' ' I am wearing a cardboard belt' Not made to last .

Try listening to Bear's Den. Above the Clouds of Pompeii.

Another week another £4:5 m deal with Arch. funding. This time it is a forty bed roomed inn. 'The Commissioners Quay Inn for Blyth. I can see a similar development being successful in Bedlington. Somewhere people with Bedlington Terriers and an interest in history can stay. Railway history Early Christianity and much more. What will happen next week with Arch funding?
-
Could old animal bones after cooking and stock making be ground down to make 'Bonemeal' for the gardens. 'Waste not want not'

The Guardian headlines yesterday are relevant to our town. Ok under different issues. 'We have caught the public mood . This is about hope' Corbyn Come on politicians the public mood is one of hope and a belief in Bedlington. Forget what went wrong , help to make Bedlington a centre of excellence. Firstly put us on the MAP.
