Why and how? Personal messenger surely is for things you do not want published. We are all publishing on the site. Even in Members only.

Great idea

Maybe Chariots of Fire.

What about the Golf clubs Eggy! My spin on hoarding is that everyone has a secret stash! We all hoard some bloody odd things. Maybe another topic.

Must be the same family. Interesting to be a pilot in World War 1

Women's hour today was very good and covered the topic well.

This is my relative

I hope someone recognises a face.

In 1911 they commemorated the Jubilee 1861 to 1911. The book I have has some interesting pictures of employees and committee members. Officers of the Society were: John Davison president John Davison Tindal secretary John Hudson manager Benjamin and Rubert Tetlow auditors The committee were: John Caine William Fleming Robert Hay James Morris Robert Lee Richard Gray George Marley John W Wood Thomas Charlton James Wood Andrew Darling I will attempt to photo some of the pages in the hope odd individuals are interested or maybe some will see familiar faces.

This one is interesting and another name I have not heard in Bedlington. Alfred Pick died 1918 flying in Kent

The Unthanks sing about The Testimony of Patience Kershaw.

True but then Northumbria was the place to be. Really nothing has changed except the boundaries. More and more holiday makers. Beadnell the other day was very good for people watching and there were not many with Northumbrian accents. Maybe the accent is dying.

A very interesting video. Even a reference to the Napoleonic Wars.

Remember we were part of Durham for many years.

George Brown Churchwarden for 30 years A good name for a future King born a few days ago

We knew how to live! Forget War Hammer and Costa Lotta!

Unfortunately the ladies loos are not history orientated. I never did accept the basic rules. Life in Geordieland is a holiday. Leave at your peril and people will be prepared to put a bomb up your backside to send you back. My claim to fame in life is making an exile into a flag waving Geordie again. Sweetness and shite as they say. How do you tell a Geordie! Answer you can't because they can't be telt!

Still does! I leave the pan outside! My Mum and Dad grilled them. It irritates me that certain members of the family do not get all the best bits! Yesterday we were at Beadnell and son and grand kids left me with four mackerel to cook! Soused herrings led to soused mackerel! Could life get any better! Beadnell for the kids with a boat and a canoe. High tide led to bay watch running through the water, splashing people obviously. Today Durham and the history. Northumberland is the place to be! Maybe I am biased

I did comment on women working in the mines. Your picture is a good one Keith L!

Tulloch! An unusual name in Bedlington

We have been to Durham today. Truly amazing awesome brilliant. The return of the Gospels is just part of the story. I think Bill Bryson said someone should have given him the Keys to their car and said you must go now.

Bottles in the Kings Arms at Seaton Sluice

It seems Mandelson asked for some guacamole at a fish and chip shop when he was an MP up here. Mushy peas with steak and kidney pud and chips. What a delicacy! Back to basics

The Joiners in Morpeth has always been interesting. Men only bar much larger than the snug or back room. This room had traditional Mural pictures. The ladies room had a bucket attached to a stand pipe, when it was modernised you had to ask at the bar for the key. The Post Boy bar in the Queens Head was another of interest.

Seaton Sluice and The Kings Arms, does anyone know why there are submarine pictures in the loos. The Scampi and chips may be a rave from the sixties but it is good. Anyone remember chicken in a basket. Has anyone seem Al Murray do his spin on chicken in a basket And that is not to mention a glass of white wine for the lady or a fruit based drink and a pint for the man. My gaff and my rules! His words not mine before anyone gets shirty.
