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

My missus started doing youth work while in her twenties,then her bosses encouraged her to do a degree,she told them you need 4 a,levels to get in she didn't have any.but her boss was very supportive & let her go to college were achieved the 4 required Then she was accepted into greenwich uni the rest was up to her & she was bringing 2 small children up working 2 jobs & attending Lectures at uni,when she put her decantation in it was done on a type writer..No help with the computer with spell check or grammar Thats why I believe the kids are failing modern technology makes them lazy...By the way you didn't offend me just got a little Annoyed..But then again that's what a forum is all about everyone's opinion counts otherwise there would be no diversity ... Cathy got her degree when she was 30 she is 53 now better not tell her I told you l.o.l..

I think what your saying about people doing worthless degrees is quite ignorant to say the least,my missus got a degree In Sociology with honours & she worked ******* hard for it her minor qualifications were 4 a levels in maths,English,psychology,sociology,results all grade A's 8'O,levels not going to mention them by the her decantation was in child protection.10,000 word essay incase you forget,I can't tell you how many underprivileged kids she has helped if you Come to London. I'm sure you'd like to meet her & the kids she works with then tell her that her degree is worthless.When My son gets his degree in ART..He wants to emigrate to Australia,he will not get there with gcse in English that is a fact I'm not going to tell you what A,levels or Gcse's his got the fact is degrees open doors...If you want to do a degree that you enjoy Then do it it's a qualification that anybody can take off you..by the way my missus speaks fluent French & Latin alright on holiday, Museums or churches...finally if nobody did history,there wouldn't be a forum but there is cos it's INTRESTING.........

Threegee maybe you can get an image via google map just a thought.

Steve know what your saying they say scots get free education,that's true to a certain extent but when they try to get in they usually get refused due to high demand but you can guarantee 60% of the students are from the rest of the uk or overseas paying fees Double standards but it looks good in principle...My son is in his final year at Cardiff & said to me he has got quite a few friends from Scotland studying there..He said to them why you not studying up there they told him no places,people getting there pockets full I'm afraid... Last year I had a discussion with Chuka Umuna while on a delagation in Jersey he didn't give me the answer neither ... By the way I joined the union not for political gains but to help stop people getting bullied in the workplace which occurs more & more I'm also very passionate on kids getting a good education I got a motion passed to help kids at uni...

Steve I'm a union man but I would advise everybody who has children wanting to go to university to take advantage Of the Tory loan scheme before they change the rules because as it stands now ..your kids will never be able to pay it Back I know this because my kids took advantage of it & they know they will not be able to pay it back.....so thanks To the Tories my kids got the free education they deserve & urge everybody to do the same.... THEY WILL CHANGE THIS that I do know....

Steve I think you missed my point most of influx of immigrants seem to hit the south east,maybe that's where most of the jobs are I don't know...what gets me is people in the north east slagging immigration!!! Hand on your heart how many immigrants are there in Bedlington ... As I said before when I lived there & loved it but I knew I had to get away to get on it didn't matter what qualifications you Had, to me personally it was jobs for the boys,I.E if your father worked somewhere & there was a vacancy there son or son in law got The job....At least that's what happened when I lived there...

What people say in conversation stays there secretive klu klux clan,masons,best of mates usually.....

They might be in with chance at Clacton full of east end bnp numpties

Not to worry probably. Give extra money to the guys that drink in the red lion 7 lunch times a week & never done a days work in there life...then blame it everybody else....

Last time I was at bedlington never seen many slim people there in fact it looked like they were eating very well must be very affluent Now!!!!, mmmm I guess you've been to Scotland recently or watching propaganda on tv typical....

That's for fourgee

My missus is from Glasgow she singing auld lang syne & she said the next lowest death rates will be I'm sure you can guess Stotty cake ham & peas pudding.....

I made a comment about this on gallery j.curley was my grandfather billy Hoolison give my mum away as my granda got killed in 1949 @ the doctor pit April ......

Better places in bedlington jimmy milne would give you a better milk shake,peter bacci's place had a better machine latter on tommy miller tried to give you everything,even bingo for the auldings.served with a burger from a microwave which would be a relic now lol...

He's an old Victorian baron gets he's workers on zero hour contracts,sells replica shirts for ridiculous ammonts of Money which are made for 5bob in sweat shop in the Far East , capitalism in the most extreme That's what UKIP will give you,that's why he would fit the bill.....

The newcastle fans could,get rid of him if they show unity It would be painful but it can be done!!! Stop going to the matches & stop buying the merchandise if the people up there keep on giving him Money he will stay if you stop feeding him he will go ... With a bit of luck he may join Another gullible lot .."Maybe U.K.I.P"...

If anyone is interested I came across the website of mikcritchlow.com he has a good array Of photos of miners picnic etc some of the faces are pretty soulless but the content is very good It's mostly ashington people & Blyth power station but there are a few from bedlington miners picnic I think some of the older members will recognise some people,worth taking a look at

Happy birthday Malcolm

I guess they weren't scaffolding or steeple jaccks

Symptoms,you can't do that now they would sack you on the spot,if you had a 2 hour break can't see what production gets done You can see why firms employ Eastern Europens you'd never see them having 2 hr breaks...by the way there still lots of pubs In greenwich which are packed 7 days a week locals,students,tourists etc...
