Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

@Andy Millne - until a few days ago I used to receive an email when another member commented on any topic. Now I don't get any email notifications. I have checked my Settings and what's set suggests to me I should be receiving emails. Is there anything I should be updating to reinstate my notifications? Eggy

Champion👍

@jim l - 1921 map showing the location of the Francis Pit and the lane/road to Choppington. Unfortunately to get everything into the one screen shot I had to shrink the map and then when I extracted and enlarged the section showing the Francis Pit and the road to Choppington the text was not clear so added a couple of pointers

@Tonyp - and another one for you. This would be 1969 when I was working in London so not in this photo of some of the lads at the Domino. Alan & Mick Maguire in this one :-

@Tonyp - I tell fibs (= I didn't read all your comment ) - I do a little on the Maguire's. Alan, the eldest and according to his Facebook page he lives in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne but I don't know where about. Alan was my mate in the 1960's, along with a large group of us that spent many evenings in the Percy Arms, Station Road. I know Alan has commented on the Bygone Bedlington Facebook group this year. Last year he updated the names of this photo - Percy Arms dart team, 1973. I don't know the exact year but I know after I had moved away from Bedlington, Alan's brother Mick was killed in a road accident outside the Percy Arms. I think it was the early 1970's. I don't know about the rest of the Maguire family.

just a youngin then

I'm no hep @Tonyp - I was BGS 1960 to 1965 but can't remember a Pauline Robinson from my time there.

I still get the notifications within the group = But I used to get an email for every new post or comment that was made in the group and the email contained a link taking me directly to that new post or comment. Within my Outlook setup I have a separate folder for all the groups I am a member of and Outlook allows you to set rules, with conditions etc., so that when an email comes it uses the conditions to place that email in the relevant folder - if no condition met then the email goes into the 'top level' folder = Inbox. Can't remember the exact date I stopped receiving notifications via email but as you can see from the following screen shot I still have a notification, red asterisk, from when you commented, Saturday 04/09/2021, on the 'Info on Historical Buildings' topic.(The yellow asterisk just shows a group where there are still unseen emails (still in bold). No doubt @Andy Millne can explain why the email notifications have stopped being sent to me.

I would join the club but I'm not an ex-pat.

Yes Cl- it's down to 17c, outside, and a mere 22c in the bungalow - with window open 🙂. Getting dark by 20:00. I'll do the quiz later - too busy clarting with images What is strange is that I never received one notification email that anyone had posted/commented last night = nothing from Cl - Vic or Tonyp's comments And last night I settled down to watch NUFC v Leeds and half time went wild - a bottle of Wychwood Dice man stout - 5% + Kettle plain crisps - I nearly toppled me zimmer frame when I went to bed
