The BBC do not have the monopoly on biased viewpoints. Surely we all have the ability to decide for ourselves what we believe and what we do not. The petition may represent the true position but is more likely just another viewpoint.. Who wrote it and why? Can they claim to be without bias?

This is an interesting time in politics. Things appear to be changing, who knows what will happen. My wish would be to see a great turnout, with people young and old getting politicians to sit up and take notice. Our young people will change things if they get involved. While our local councils have less power everyone talks about more power locally. Devolved or independent. Have the boundaries changed in Wansbeck since 1997. The figures are very interesting rosco.

Next Monday 7:30 Coffin Chapel. The Bedlington History Society. The Bondagers. Dinah Iredale. A unique look at our past.

Of course Malcolm.

Good Luck with your search.

It has to be :- Show of Hands and Ignorance Arrogance and Greed.

The BBC has my vote, for what it is worth.

A very good initiative 'Make a Noise for Bedlington.' Hope the poster appears soon Malcolm. The example of the Xmas card is either a late offering or maybe an early one for Xmas 2015. Either way hope it does not mean a delay !

Happy Birthday from me too Brett.

HPW your post 16th Sept 2014 about the ledger found in West Terrace may have a simple explanation. It could have belonged to Steven Martin and been thrown out when he died. Steven lived in West Terrace Stakeford I believe. He was an expert on The Great Northern Coalfield and I think would have spent a lifetime collecting items or ledgers that could easily have been thrown out.

HPW your postings on this thread about the Whin Sill are excellent. First hand knowledge is always the very best.

Perhaps say a prayer for our town too?

Question Symptoms Will you be joining the queue?

Sometimes 4g interferes with the signal. No reflection on our very own Fourgee. An indoor aerial from Argos can help.

Good luck with you search Christine.

I hope someone invests in the property who will develop the site quickly . No more eyesore developments that go on forever.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

My understanding Symptoms is that no one knows where they are and how they have been sealed until the hole appears. Subsidence around any Mining area needs careful watching. I suppose it is no different to 'sink holes' One appeared on the main A 21 to Hastings this year.

That last series of thoughts should be labeled one to four.

What could Bedlington spend that sort of money on! Fixing tiles maybe. Public liability . I am sure there are people volunteering to do this job for free.

The Window and Odd Tiles I heard. Beware any passing politicians. The local electorate could just surprise you all. The darkest hour comes just before dawn. Now who said that ?

Hopefully not with the 'Make a Noise for Bedlington ' campaign on Facebook. Seems there are 759 people who 'Like' the post up to this moment.

Wey Aye Man Ah Will (Gan ) Fishing.

Education education and more education what could be better. Maybe we should all join a choir too. That concert looks like a perfect way to spend an evening.

Sorry I did not know him Brian.
