Willy I was told that he was he was the manager I knew him well I may be wrong& the app form he told me my mum had to sign it that's it as I was 16 She refused,will you look at statistics on merchant seamen who have died compared to miners ?? I will give you a starting point from the titanic to the present day...3G on the Rochester by election you have to remember this is the bankers heartland a million miles away from Bedlington if you had been there you would see that for yourself maybe you & Willy Can go down there & give some leaflets out??? If your organising some stalls for your night with somebody's great grand son at bedders maybe you can get some stocks & you & Willy can get it them & let the people of Bedlington throw rotten tomatoes & water sponges at you.....You might get a good turn out then LOL

Malcolm It was the barons who wanted the power at the time even the pope disowned him & thought they'd get in & take his crown all he tried to do was trying to get money to fight the French you've got to remember Malcolm there was no councils or governments to Help him he was the divine ruler sometimes over the years history gets distorted when facts become myths.as I said Hollywood has a lot to answer for didn't care much for Kevin Costners Nottingham accent some of that movie was filmed at hadrians wall the yanks thought that was Nottingham ...

Foxy the way it sounds you'll not need to take the abacus out & you'll not need to use your thumbs,Willy don't get this great grandfather Nonsense..I was a 16 year old in the Bedlington Terrier having a pint I saw Danny Paxton who was manager at bates pit I asked Him if I could have job he gave me the forms & told me to get mum to sign it then he would give me a job,I asked my mum to sign it She refused stating she lost her dad to the pit & she said she wasn't losing a son to the pit therefore I couldn't do it instead I went to The merchant navy which was just as dangerous if not more & we had to strike aswell remember Jim Slater & what it was about very similar To what your fighting for now the difference then it wasn't Europeans getting our jobs...But in life you have to move onto other things & Have belief in yourself lol
