  6. As the population gets bigger = more children = more schools = all new schools will have to be built away from the town centers = children will have to be driven to school = after 2035 all school will have to have 'drop off points' and 'charging points for electric cars = the world will be a better place - for some. What about those parents that don't have a car to drive their kids to school ? How far into the future can local planning committees plan and get whats best for the area? If the world of automation explodes there will be more people out of work and have time to walk their children to, and from, school. Then the authorities can change how schools teach the children - let the ones who can't be driven to school stay at home with their out of work parents and get taught, online, at home. When will we ever have a perfect solution to any challenges this fast paced progressive world is throwing at as? I know - WWIII, or a pandemic, and that should reduce the population explosion. Or will it. After WWII they introduced Family Allowance, for the 2nd child in the family, so that parents would have more children and therefore more money coming into the home and then when the children grew the parents would encourage them to buy their own home, have a family and get their children educated = more schools = more.............................. When will the merry go round ever end? Not half pleased your the councillor Malcolm, it must be like going round in circles. Retirement doesn't seem that bad - at least you have more time to look for soup spoons.
  7. Do you get free tins of soup with them
  8. @James - back in May 2018 whilst Googling info on the Bedlington terrier I found a photo, in an online 'Google -blog', of the National Bedlington Terrier Club Show. I joined the blog to see if I could find out any info but there was no additional info in response to the question(s) I asked. What did happen after I joined is that the owner of the Blog closed it down .. Fortunately I had already downloaded the photo and one of the Bedlington Terrier Club members who was a member on one of the Bedlington Facebook groups (can't remember which one) gave me some info that I have added to the photo and also posted an image of the photo that the Bedlington terrier Club help :-

  17. Wouldn't have a clue @Tonyp - there are two supermarkets - Lidl & Morrisons but I've never been in them Probably 30 years ago, when we used to live in Cramlington the Safeway supermarket used to sell cutlery, or you got pieces free depending on how much you spent, and the mother-in-law used to keep getting us pieces, every week. We couldn't feed an army but we could set the table for a squad of soldiers
  18. Done - I will let you know if there is any response.
  19. 1970's - St Benet Biscop school at Ford Castle. Photo and all the names, that have been added, from Lynn Oliver Dytham, No 33, off the Facebook group Bygone Bedlington..
