You do like to disagree without listening I would like to know what makes you tick &what your honest outlook is in life

Maggie no no no it's about dialect that's what I said to them,would you like me to say hotel in a nice cockney accent or would that sound posh to you, most cockneys are working class people they just speak funny I've had loads of arguments with northern m.ps about this & they have apologised.....

I'm working with a few lads from Gosforth they said to me people from bedlington can't say hotel properly They said we say it as hoe-tel

Brett!!"The Salvation Army seems to changed its uniform,since I was last in Bedlington ",& they used to wake you up on Sunday morning....

Kieth! I thought that was your mate on a pub crawl adventure .....

That's true..when anybody in London asks me what part of newcastle I'm from & straight away I say to them! I'm not a toony,am from Bedlington ...Big difference it's like me telling somebody down here there from North London,when they live in South London... Different. Kind of people with different accents....

Maggie! Bedlington had elitism & that's a fact I loved where I came from but it was still jobs for the boys ,to better my life I had to move Away.when I did doors opened for me that I would never achieved in bedlington & that's a fact if the opertunaties where there in blighty I would have stayed!"no regrets"........

"Maggie"! You've got to remember its a movie there for entertainment , Jimmy Grailton was a man who came back to support The Irish in its War against the uk. If he was a communist fair comment but when he got deported back to the USA it was only the IRA who kicked up a fuss & the town where he lived.Have you read George Orwell's animal farm? That's a realistic view on Communism & he declared himself as a democratic socialist,Maggie! By the way I haven't seen the film,maybe it's a good view.....

Don't quote john Lennon he was a dreamer,my mother was an active member of the communist party even getting the Morning Star delivered I told her she was a dreamer,"But,they didn't hurt anybody so I suppose it's alright to dream"! Cos they didn't hurt anybody ..

Mmmm "political correctness "......

"Maggie"! When would you use aggression?life is not like that in theory, just look at the despots in the past Tony Blair,George Bush the list goes on & the sad thing is people get sucked into there views & think aggression Is the way forward..Aggression can be good if it's done for the right reasons,but not because of media garbage... & Political garbage put forward to satisfy there means????

"Maggie"! Democracy is a good thing,on a percentage it takes two fractions that disagree with each other that causes the violence Without trying to have a democratic solution put to them.even the E.U & NATO can't decide issues when they disagree with each other That's why innocent people get hurt,religion I'm afraid is full of prejudice even now just look at the Scots...I honestly think health & safety is a good thing! If you look in the past look at the people who lost limbs in the mines before H & S was legislation.They would have shut the mines not thatcher & would have taken the coal board to court & would have found them accountable for you & you fellow workers

The Germans were our enemy in 1945 Political correctness stops people been abusive ????L Heath & safety can be overkill at times,but it does stop numpties getting hurt & put silly claims in saying it wasn't There fault,"opps political correctness ". I think anybody should be able to express an opinion,but it has to be done in a way that doesn't hurt An individual the point of bullying .then it can become offensive. Everybody be nice to each other..... By the way I'm union secretary for 300 men & women where I work & you have to try & use political correctness To try & save jobs when there about to get sacked,sometimes you feel like murdering the managers... But then again they have to be politically correct .....

I worked with jimmy wearmouth at Glaxo Cambois only for a short while as he was ready for retirement & I went in the navy He as from a big family 2 of his brothers was called Isaac & Gordon I can't remember the names of the rest...

Just asked a question?????with 11 in the family I could have said what you said,cheers for been so helpful..........

Aswell as muters pop there was also woods pop factory @ Bebside

Can't remember the trophy name I think it was a shield,just remember the good times,the funny thing was Everybody thought they would have a walkover when they played the Sally Army but there cricket player was called Brian dixon He opened the batting for Bedlington & I do believe he played for Northumberland ."by the way I do know you & your brother very well nice to see your doing O.K........

My granda was killed at the Doctor Pit in April 1949 his name was Joe Curley he's photograph is on one of your members photo album. The one with the market club football team who were about to play the top club

Had some good times there aswell in the summer,they orginised 18 over cricket which consisted of pubs from bedlington Plus the Sally Army & the council each team was allowed one cricketer who played for bedlington & he organised The team & wasn't allowed to bat till the 4th wicket went down...Good days
