Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Proof

Just checked on Live CL and there appears to many young ladies coming out of the newsagents and saying - Goochie Goochie Goo to small persons in carriages. Can't find anything online, even for his final resting place in Clewer, Windsor. There is a Bedlington lad, Ryan Hogg (don't know if he is related to Adam that started this topic), that has a Facebook group for Daniel Gooch and there are a couple of links, to another group and a blog, but that's all I can find. https://www.facebook.com/groups/486966338172814/ https://sirdanielgooch200.wordpress.com/2016/07/25/see-more-about-daniel-gooch-reaching-200/ http://wp.me/p7KpoX-3 https://www.facebook.com/gooch200/

Sir Daniel Gooch (Engineer & Politician), b. 1816, Bedlington, Northumberland. Happy 200th birthday, Sir Daniel!

'Mobot' the redeemer :-

Cheers Terry - Margaret Speller had posted both sides of the photo on Bygone Bedlington site and when I saw the name Terry Foote on the back I remembered you had just commented on one of Jane Muckian's Westridge photos but I hadn't realised the photo came from your collection. There was a comment, on the Bygone Bedlington site, by a Colin Sim and it was :- " 10 is Peter Low not George and 20s first name was Ivy". Do you agree with that ? If it's Ok with you I will add your photo to the Gallery Album :- Westridge School - End of term class photos.

Terry Foote - this one has just been posted on Facebook in the Bygone Bedlington group and the names I have added were written on the back of the photo. Can you confirm the year & class name and add any more names ?

Terry & CL - the photo in the Gallery has been updated. Along with your updates quite a few more names added.

Just got 1 more injury to inflict and then I will have the set, apart from the 3 that result in no more adventures!

Vic - John Krzyzanowski, Admin on the Facebook Bygone Bedlington site, works at Woodhorn Museum, searched the old news papers and found this story on the damage to the cross in 1938 :-

One day I will read through all 62 pages, again or use the 'search' facility! Bet the one about simple Tommy at The Market Place club Go-as-you-please night is not in the 62 pages.

Yes but I'll save them for another day. How about :- So this teacher is teaching her junior school class, and she's telling them that the word of the day is 'contagious.' She asks if anyone can use this word in a sentence, and several people stick up their hands. "Carl," she says. Carl says, "My dad told me to stay away from kids with mumps,'cause they're contagious." "Very good," says the teacher. Then she picks Suzie, who says, "The atmosphere was contagious," and the teacher says, "Excellent, Suzie!" Then she notices that Little Johnny has his hand up, at the back of the class. "Yes, Johnny?" she says. Johnny says, "The other day, me and my dad's a-sittin around, and we saw our blonde neighbor painting her fence. She had a tiny little model car paintbrush, and she was going in tiny little strokes up and down the fence, and my dad says to me, "Jesus, it's gonna take that c**t ages to finish that fence."
