Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

Thank you ps. I haven't told anyone when my birthday is 🤭

Paul Cochrane, Bygone Bedlington Facebook group, thinks No 5 looks like his uncle - 'Billy Cochrane ?' added to photo.

@Oneofthevillageschoolkids - we have some names on the photos. This is the photos grouped together, with the names, so if you can identify any that's not named I will add the name to the photo.

@Samantha Hayton - have you looked through the Gallery albums? Under Historic Bedlington' there are a number of albums on Netherton/Nedderton on Page 1 and on Page 2 there is an album Netherton Colliery Band. I have had a quick scan through the band album and I didn't see the name Halliday on any of the photos but there are many in the photos that are not named. If you scan through the albums it's normal that the first photo posted, for each entry in an album, is the one without any info. Below each photo posted you should see extra comments + the photo with names added. There are some, not a lot, school photos in the album, Page 1, 'Netherton/Nedderton old photos 2' Good luck with your search.

I do believe that 'young first offenders' should be given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Most of us will have done something that affected the lives of others when we were young, naive, and still growing up. I am all for making scumbags compensating their victims but unless the relevant scumbags have bank accounts etc with the funds available to compensate their victims it will never happen as the scumbags will more than likely only deal in cash. So like any fines compensation will never be paid and it will cost the taxpayer for the admin costs to set up and try and collect payments. Plus we will pay for them to be kept in prison so I'm afraid the only solution I could have for making scumbags think twice about damaging any childs education is to use their bodies to fertilise the earth.

Did I miss something on tonight's news? I don't read newspapers and only rely on the daily TV news for updates. This evening the wife was in the kitchen when the NE news started and announced the new figures so I rewound and put the TV on hold until she came in so she could here the updated for herself (I'm often accused of not listening and distorting the facts ☺️). I haven't seen anything about NCC wanting to be grouped with Newcastle so we would be placed under the same restrictions as Newcastle to try and reduced the spread of the virus. I thought it was the government, based on the number of new cases for Northumberland, Newcastle etc., that would have the say in what restrictions were put in place. Then it would be down to the minority to ignore the restrictions, party on and spread the virus among those that don't get many symptoms and hospitalised, so they could eventually spread the virus out to the more vulnerable.
