The Guardian today has an interesting article on the suffragettes. Page12 the Review Smashing the Glass. Manchester Art Gallery is celebrating the picture smashing with a series of events and exhibitions called Wonder Women Facts and figures. Lots of examples of unfairness.

Just used the term Workie ticket. I guess I work my ticket quite often. I also have enjoyed the Mordue Brewary ale. Radgie Gadgie was another ale they made, not sure if they still make these brews

His grave is in the church yard. Near the vestry. Osgathorp claimed his bible saved him from death in a World War. He seemed very old so I assumed the first but I was young and he seemed ancient. I have a confirmation list that reads like a who's who of Bedlington. The days when you knew everyone, or the family did. For old pictures etc we need to write down people time and place. My mother and father were the font of all names. I just enjoyed the history of it all, still do
