  1. If he gets in will his nanny be his deputy? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/10698217/Jacob-Rees-Mogg-My-nanny-made-me-the-man-I-am.html Jacob Rees-Mogg: My nanny made me the man I am Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, who took his nanny canvassing with him, writes in defence of a British institution
  2. Rowel & 6 = Richard Hepple - 24 = Derek Taylor - 37 Pat May - names from Mick Hedley & George Scott
  3. From No 5 Mick Hedley, Bedlington remembered Facebook member :- No 1 Brian Ellis - No 4 Robert Wilkinson - No 7 Will Lynn - No 16 John Marshall & No 28 Janice Hindhaugh .
  4. Your Nos 35, 28, & 9, 25 (from George Scott - Bedlington remembered Facebook group) added
  5. Yep - proof reading after my 'sped' typing should be a must.
  6. @Canny lass - from the names you have given I do remember bringing up the fact that my sister-in-law, Betty Hall, was identified by you in one of the class photos. I can't find any photo with Betty named on it so it must have been this one. I could either say a) it was my memory that had failed and I hadn't totally forgot to do anything with the photo or b ) we were in that transitional period on this site when I was having numerous fails attempting to load photos and when Andy sorted out the problems my memory had still failed to remember what I had been doing! So while everything, including my short term memory, is working your list of names added to the photo
  7. Numbers added and I haven't attempted to guess a name - all yours. I have a copy prepared to enter the names on.
  8. From the album: Westridge School - End of term class photos

    Photo from John Dawson's post on Facebook group - sixtownships. Names from Bedlington remembered & Bygone Bedlington Facebook groups.
  9. Aren't 'opportunities' wonderful - cheers Andy.
  10. Couldn't believe it when that document turned up!! There's a similar roundabout on the outskirts of Seaton Delaval
  11. If only I had just said - yes, the bricked area is there to be used. Instead I wondered, is there info in the highway code or anywhere else that a simple Google search will reveal? Oh to be a Technical author! I believe the simple explanation is something like :- a single lane road that requires a roundabout to allow access to and from the road may require an additional lane, only on the roundabout, that allows large vehicles additional space (another lane) to turn on and off the single lane road. But if you really want to impress your fellow Friday night ale tasters with a full explanation of the Geometric Design of Roundabouts then read the 51 pages in this documnet :- http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/ha/standards/dmrb/vol6/section2/td1607.pdf
  12. Who would organise walking tours :- West, East, & Central Bedlington Town Council groups - Bedlington Local History Society etc.? Who would know if it had already been discussed - Malcolm Robinson - Adam Hogg - Steven Young (Town Clerk?)?
  13. No 27 could be Kathy Bellatkin, says No 3 - Ernie Armstrong.
  14. No 18 Robert Lees not John Lees & No 32 Mary Blake - names from Ernie Armstrong - Facebook group Bedlington remembered
  15. No 28 Jennifer Berkeley from Alan Scott - Bygone Bedlington
  16. From the album: Westridge School - End of term class photos

    Photo from Bill Armitage via Foxy - names from many members of the Facebook Bygone Bedlington group.
  17. Contemplated doing that then thought why try and work it out, and possibly advise non members incorrectly, when admin could tell me what was built into the system and non members could see how efficient, and exact, the admin of this community site are. That's why
  18. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/local-news/anger-over-channel-4s-geordies-1374505 Sorry HPW - I know I'm not helping with your topic question - but Geordies Overboard was brilliant.
  19. Think there were extracts for the documentary - Geordies Overboard - on youtube but can't find a link to one that is still current. This is an extract from the http://www.northeastmaritime.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7385 posting :-
  20. I think I have this right - Barry Elliot was the main contractor for the building. I believe he still lives in the first house in the row of houses he built at South Beach and I first heard of him when I stumbled, late one night when I was in charge of the remote, on a CH4 2 part documentary on Blyth's privately run lifeboat service. I will see if any of the documentary is online anywhere - this is a link to an article in The Journal, following the documentary :- http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/local-news/fears-over-blyth-lifeboat-future-4400695
  21. @Andy Millne - before the new system was introduced non members could not view all the topics. I often reference postings on this site so the Facebook Bedlington group members can visit and view this site. Is it the same now or with the sharing across different platforms can non members view all the topics?
  22. The builder Barry Elliot!!!!! (nee chance, but a cud be rang) or Canny Lass?
  23. Oh no - just no point in starting up the engines, big CC's, if it's not raining.
  24. We could have a referendum : – Boris to stand for Worse & Gove to stand for Worserer Tick one box only Worse Or Worserer Then if the outcome is worserer than first thought we could ask to pull out of Brexit and reinstate Cameron and Osborne into government and have another referendum. If that seems worserer than the worst scenario then we could get 'even worserer' and ask May and Corbyn to form a coalition government allowing Nicola Sturgeon to form a body of high-ranking carpenters, assisted by joiners, to lead on specific policy areas such as worse, or worserer Health, Transport, Defence etc. Think I might just stand for the next election, but only if it’s raining.
  25. Alan Maguire says No 24 definitely Peter Smith
