There was an Indian restaurant in Whitley Bay opposite a pub where an old lady played the piano and everyone had a 'Sing Song'. Then there were the Indian restaurants in Newcastle's Bigg Market. Plus one near Westgate Road which had a door to the toilets in a wall painted to look like a jungle. Happy Days.

It would be great to find some restrictions to the planning. Particularly as this site was one that was not in the expensively produced 'Core Strategy'. I was assured by NCC that the extra sites for consideration had just been put forward and any development would not be for years. West Bedlington Town Council did not appear to know of these sites because no one was at the meeting to represent the council. The same night Bedlington in Bloom was being discussed. The people involved in that initiative made an amazing difference to the town last summer. Their 'halo's ' are shining bright. Simply FANTASTIC!

I doubt it stayed a hill for goats for long. The ancient capital would surely have rather a lot of inhabitants and buildings. Then the hill was actually Yeavering Bell. Where is that time casual and we can play spot the goats.

Welcome to the site Ovalteeny.

On a Xmas theme watch the 'Geordie Penguin' Spoof on the John Lewis ad. My guess it will be banned soon.

In the 'Low Lights Tavern ' North Shields they have a sign saying 'Xmas jumpers are banned / barred until the 23rd December' Anyone any ideas on banning them in Bedlington.

Strange times! Has anyone had a video message on a personal telephone number thread that turned out to be spoof. We could start ' How to be Hacked . Com'

Did anyone see Jack Bruce playing with Lau!

The oldest Indian Takeaway in our memory was in Station Road Ashington. Circa late 70s early 80s. Before the Cavalier Restaurant in Morpeth changed to the Manzil maybe 83/4. Our kids claimed they would never touch the food. Pity that did not last they have cost us a fortune. Today the food does not often taste of being cooked over charcoal. We love all the fresh herbs and spices. Pilau Rice , Nan Bread , tandoori Yum Yum

Glasgow Riverside again

Wonder if Canny Lass can help with translation or any Scandinavian meaning. The Old Golden Age of Northumbria is our heritage. Ad Gefrin

Libraries are great! No copy in Bedlington but just got a copy from Morpeth.

'Everything is political' Even 'Black Bullets' maybe

I wonder when the Black Bullets were first made. Interesting name for sweets.

Your book is precious ! I am going to try the Bedlington Library Foxy.

Sorry willyj. I was in exile.

BBC 4 tonight at eleven Jack Bruce The Man Behind the Bass. It is a repeat.

I had forgotten the Paul Mc Cartney song and video . Well remembered Canny Lass and Adam !

Welcome to the Forum Paul.

At Free thinking someone maybe Karen Armstrong said by their very nature all governments are combative. Interesting thought 'Strong Government' Who can fight for us in Europe and beyond!!!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Stand up comedian Symptoms. You could give John Shuttleworth a run for his money.

For any History you have to ask who wrote it and look for any primary sources! Everyone in this case can be right! Basically think about a Bedlington Council Meeting and any minutes need to be understood in light of which side your on. Unless you have a recording that has not been tampered with.
