Names updated on the photo HPW and I have posted the updated photo back on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group site and 'tagged' Jim Hardy. I will see if he replies and see if there are any more updates before I upload here. There was also a comment on the Facebook site from a David Walker, and it was him that identified himself, No 22, in the photo. So I 'tagged' him as well using your ear wiggling story to see if he reacts to that. -

I think I only receive emails where another user has replied to a comment I have made and that user uses the 'Quote' facility to comment. I have just used the 'Quote' facility replying to Symptoms but I have NOT received any email notifying me of that action. Checked my profile, and yours CL, but can't see anything in there that would allow me to change what notifications I receive - could just be an Administrator faciity. See what happens, email or no email, when I save this comment.

Thanks Sym. I always do my best to add the name of originator when I post on other sites - Do you want to be referred to as 'Symptoms, off the Bedlington Community site' of another name?
-
Symptoms - I've added a couple of names, from previous posts, to what you already had listed. Wold you like me to add the photos into the Westridge Album on this site and post your photos on the Facebook sites and see if we can get the rest named?

The new wireless range where the 'bell-push' doesn't have to be screwed into your lovely upvc front door. Just use double sided tape and the kids can remove the bell-push easily and ring the bell from up to 300m away!. Parents are often complaining that children are spending too much time staring at screens, and now they are complaining cos the kids are outside playing games!! Example wireless door bell :-

It would appear one of our childhood games, Knocky door ginger, has been upgraded and is currently on the increase at the Top End. You no longer have to wrap your knuckles on the door, or use the push-button at the door! Comments on Facebook, starting with :- Had to buy a new door bell today some silly person has pinched mine has anybody else had this problem in Bedlington ? - are :- My neighbours did. The kids pinched it and were ringing it while sitting on dereks wall. The new knocky nine doors it wud seem Yes we have on Hazelmere, little pests we're ringing it from across the road, we found it, then it's gone completely now Yeah - mine's gone. Quite a few on the Chesters have gone. Loads of people on the chesters have said the same x Yes mine has gone missing as well in Glebe Mews someone stole mine too. If they want the bit that plugs into the socket its in the bin. Had a look on Wikipedia and they reckon :- The name knock down ginger or knocky door ginger, used in Britain, comes from a British poem: Ginger, Ginger broke a winder Hit the winda – crack! The baker came out to give 'im a clout And landed on his back
