Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Bay An uncle on mine, born Beatty Road, Bedlington, 1938 said the story about the Monkey in the window was not true. However tThe Barrington Arms got a paragraph in Issue No 138 - February/March 2014 of The Northumbrian - Gordon Wilkinson (journalist I think) on a subject 'How a Pub makes a name for itself' has written :- ...... However a look in the window of the Barrington Arms in Bedlington during the Second World War could have brought good news to those fancying a pint. Beer was rationed in those days but it could be in short supply , so the landlord would stick a stuffed monkey in the window to tip off those in the know that he had received a consignment. The pub has been named the nicknamed The Monkey ever since.' -------------------------- No mention of where he got the story from.

I remain delighted and will try and develop my political judgement.

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/
