Let us write our own 'Ragged Trousered Philanthropist ' Malcolm I think you need to be Barrington! If my memory serves me well

Local politics or central government. Layers of control for the few. We all need to be more involved. The young people in Scotland gave me hope for the future. They seemed to understand and ask the right questions.

To be honest I was a little bored reading the story. Interesting on 'time and place. Very controversial Symptoms!

Full circle 'Selling up' to 'Getting a buzz about returning' How about this for us all, regardless of age or educational qualifications. REG Respect Empathy and being Genuine RUBY Respect Understanding and Being Yourself.

Monday 29th September 7:30 . The Bedlington History Society meeting is about 'The North East War Memorials Project' The talk is to be given by Janet Brown To everyone who knows Bedlington it is in the Coffin Chapel. Otherwise it is the Christian Fellowship Church.

Welcome to the site. As a child I attended both the Colliery and the village school. My parents were friendly with many people in the village. Let me know when you will be in the NE.

Horrible Histories on the Scottish question worth a look. I think it featured on the One Show. Will politics ever be the same again.

Welcome to the site Ujay. I love the walks around Sheepwash.

No way Keith! Seems to me that someone will die with the ice bucket challenge. My comment in no way was meant to encourage the basic principle. I am sure you were just joking!

Maybe lowering the tone but I believe Mark Knopfler played Local Hero. Surely one of the all time great films.

Ghost Stories or Scary Individuals. It was always the Boggy Man in the past HPW.

Welcome to the site Willowbear7. 40 years can go so very quickly but it is good to remember the past. Our lives in Bedlington are certainly important now to History.

Great film. Very nostalgic, Bedlington's Golden Years.

Sorry I missed the day Malcolm. All our best wishes for a good year, for you and yours. Gan Canny.

Surely the local answer should be 'haddaway and sh--e ' Why oh why are people doing this challenge ! Maybe in a hot country!

I believe they moved the nail at some stage. New mortar and no buildings maybe a clue.

Gallagher Park, spot which town is missing from the map in the middle. Ok the clue is you are already there! Maybe the plan is to stop you leaving!
