Maggie the only thing you can do is pray for a solution I have son son from my first marriage who lives in widdrington,he's in

The army serving in Afghanistan I prey he's safe...I know this sounds awful it may sound selfish but I do hope he fires the first bullet

At somebody who's trying to kill him....

Apparently my grandma would make one extra for my mother she said it tasted nice when it came back from the pit .. At least that's what she said my granda did it religiously for her..

Me granda got killed in the pit big health problems

Should have said content

Very good old chap had a few beers no excuse when you write in the future make sure you use your grammar check what I was doing

Was relating that Keith would get my joke nothing else sarcasm lowest form of wit..by the way when me granda went down the pit it

Was jam sandwiches all week tomatoes were in books that he he would read...

Willy, me & Kieth go back a long long time,I think he gets my sense of humour as I do his just trying to be light hearted,I think he knows

The contence it was wrote in...

Threegee ask Kieth he thinks everybody drinks gin & says tootle pip with a Geordie accent of coarse lol with a monkey in a pram..

Maggie, this is joke comment from me by the way tony benn reminds me of mr benn the cartoon charcter mr benn would go from 52 Festive Rd go to a shop & come out a totally different person Anthony Wedgwood Benn did the same!! Hand in his titles shorting

His name, become a labour M.P. As if by magic..the similarities are the same it's in the surname.. On a more serious note a really

Honest & genuine clever man never will be forgot....

Peter knew to of her daughters joan married bill stone & Valerie who married colin hostler they went to Saint bt biscops

Glaxos at Cambois that was rank sure bupal smelt nicer

Forgot I do get a salary from the union as I'm branch secretary....no envelopes though

Never!!,,the only thing I've took from the union is petrol expenses driving back & forward from London to Earls Barton,honestly....

Wilf marleys uncle lived next door to me at Millbank place his name was Kit his rife was called meggie there son was called Arnold

Who was a bus conductedr for United buses,he also had another uncle called Ross who drove the buses for Jordons..

Fair comment

I'm just saying education opens doors a lot quicker than if you haven't got one it's not about escaping I think I told you

My reasons for leaving ...As I said I do like bedlington & I could come back if I wanted to with out any financial worries

But I am happy & settled where I am,all I was saying its best to encourage your kids to do the work if there capable...

My missus teaches people with special needs I think your missing the point big time by the way people with special needs can get qualifacations one of my friends has dyslexia & she got a BSc with honours in chemistry it's up to an individual with the right teaching

What they can achieve maybe you should meet my missus & she can tell you about alternative education I don't by what your rubbishing on about...

As I say if you want to travel qualifacation are better than none I do agree with you that you don't need them but having qualifications

Show a future employer that you can complete something..That you must agree,as I've said I'm working class but I do know

Education is the best way forward & that's a fact

In London they do alternative education I.e engineering etc but there not suitable for a school environment, but they still have to do

The core subjects maths & English usually at a college,on the coming home subject I will see my brother book into the hotel

And head for the northern club in ashington lots of mates there

That's true Maggie what I've said but I wouldn't like to live there

Mercuryg what do you think of this one of union colleagues is totally blind,went for his disability assessments,the guy told him to look

Forward his reply was I don't know how to look forward as he was born blind,how stupid can people be.Steve said we were moving

Away from the topic he is probably right I was just trying to say if you get a good education the world can be your oyster.If you stay at

Home or move away it's up to you,the world is a small place & bedlington will always be there..as I said I've been away 20+years

Returning once but I'm starting to get a buzz about returning on Sunday even if it is for one day...

That's brill symptoms quite fascinating ..

By the way anybody can be great at what they do..but can be **** at teaching to do that you have to be special to get kids attention &

Teach you should go into a class where the kids don't want to be there..when I went to school some classes you wouldn't dare move

Even if you weren't interested now they do what they want that's got to be some blame of the parents

Steve totally agree with qualified teachers to the appropriate level of study how can somebody with certain level qualifications

Teach somebody who's trying to get a higher level of study,my missus boss will not even take on a T.A unless they have a

Minimum gcse English A because in the past her staff have been sadly wanting in the spelling dept,the older ones who haven't

Got one have been told they must sit it as it has been set as the new requirement..by the job centres don't exist you have to apply on

Line at least that's in my area...

Mercuryg on a lighter note I'm in Bedlington on sunday twice in the last 20 years booked a room at the plough in Ellington on

Hotels.com and the address come up as front street Morpeth can you imaging if you don't know the area & you didn't have a sat nav

Modern tech..lol

Really laughing out loud
