All I know is what the Bygone Bedlington members posted on the Facebook group :- Plus the info posted on the Chronicle site :- Kathy was born in Bedlington , Northumberland, and first came to public attention as a continuity announcer for Tyne Tees. She went on to news programmes and hosted her own show, Kathy and Co, where her winning smile brought her thousands of fans. She had no training, not even voice coaching, but she proved a natural. She once said: “I was just a Bedlington lass but I have always spoken this way. “I went to school in Newcastle but when I was at home with my friends it was different. “Even now I can slip into the broad Bedlington dialect if I wanted to, but my mother would have a fit.” I can't remember her, born 3 years before me, around Bedlington I only remember the young twin Secker lads that played football for local teams. However - @pilgrim did post this comment back in 2016

  20. @Symptoms - Malcolm started the previous post under the topic 'Freeport' in Talk of the Town section :- I see in the article you linked to they say the gigplant is at Blyth - Cambois doesn't get a mention🙂
  21. 👍 - hopefully you downloaded any images of the area that fit in with your family.
  22. Never walked it. last time I would have been in that vicinity, 5 or 6 years ago, would be to have a meal, and a couple of beers, in The Forge Inn at Ulgham but that pub, only one in the village, is now closed🙁
  23. Morning Vic - can't see any way around the problem when loading the system. I had a Google search and the Microsoft site seems to be the best way at finding a solution. Once upon a time I would attempt to recreate a problem as I found it was the best way to learn how to get out of it. These days I wouldn't dare as the operating systems etc. have changed so much and the new terminology (even though it is just replacing terms we used to use) is confusing. This is the address of the Microsoft site, that you may already have looked at :- https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/vista-user-profile-service-service-failed-the/48a4489e-a002-4e32-8a5c-a3577bcae587
