Sorry can't resit............it is the last week!

Here is one a bit different to what you are describing Cyril:

Malcolm leaflet.pdf

His partner in the Factory was Don Hutton

We should'nt encourage him ^^^^^^ really. His nurse has been put on short time.

I just knew that there was something familiar about that pic with the porch, just could not make it click. Had I logged on earlier Iwould have got it from the last photo. As you say the lampost by the Stewards house (now) is the give away.

WOW how did you get that? You are truly gifted. Thou must have second sight!

This one may give it away

They all played musicians or singers !!

I can't even hazard a guess to be honest

Dorty cheesey chip scoffing makem ..... ^&%$%^$£

Now then, that's a bigun !!

Not many wagon drivers get the chance to wait for instructions from the met while actually parked on the Mall. Then nip through the Admiralty Arch to block Traffalger Square off and park the truck up in a side street in Whitehall for a few hours while the Queen goes about her business, good skive for 8 hours or so and geting paid. Also two of us drove fully freighted artics actually INSIDE the Alexandra Palace. That place is massive.

I used to work for a firm in Nottingham that provides the concrete security barriers for state and high profile events. Many of you may remember the wagon parked in the car park in Bedlington with a forklift hanging off the back. We would do things such as state visits. (I did the president Bush state visit), state openings of parliament, rememberance parade, we did the security for the G8 summit at Gleneagles, the Queen mothers funeral (twice) etc etc. One of the most upsetting was the 7/7 London bombings, I barricaded off the bus that was bombed (not a pretty sight). Next week they will be called on to provide barriers for the funeral of Margaret Thatcher. I think they will struggle to get drivers to do it, many of them are ex miners from Nottinghamshire, decendants of miners who migrated from the North East. Those who were'nt miners, have family members who were affected by the strike. Memories are long, and grievances still fester away for many. Couple that with the threat of some sort of violent action on the day, it would not be a surprise if there was a shortage of drivers volunteering to go down there next Wednesday.

That picure somewhat flatters you , old bean

I've heard this not too long ago I think. Terry Thomas and Arthur Ashe, were they Michael Parkinsons first guests on his show?

The old vicarage and the garden parties held by The Osgathorps are good to remember.

Not quite like the version in The Leek Club.

I remember everyone being friendly and kind.

The house and garden must have their own history.

Wonder when the house was built?

It would have been a different matter if Jockey Herbert Jenkins had suffered the same fate as this jockey.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!

They have all played heathcliff...

er...sorry, wrong one...

Since you got it correct you have to dress up as kate Bush and sing Wuthering Heights at the Market Place Club tonight, Keith. The taxi is on it's way.

All the very best of luck to the pair of you !!!

They all played Heathcliffe

EBPC bailed out the school breakfast clubs with a donation of £500 each. The Mathew project is still going strong ( ashamed to say ) They are distributing parcels worth £25 to needy families that are referred to them by social workers etc. We awarded them a grant of £4,500 from the Bernicia community grants fund the other week. Adam, if you want some bumf on them, I think I still have some from their application pitch.

If I did what they do in the Market Place every Thursday, I would be prosecuted for fly tipping.

We, (the scum) might just follow you and scrounge for your dumps and dregs.

Ashington farm is where I started my apprenticeship. Its down green lane above Sheepwash dene. The farm was owned by the Douglas family, Bob lived in the farmhouse, there were two sons Bruce, who lived in the bungalow on the bend near Blackdene and Malcolm who lived in the house next to North Seaton xings (ochterlony I think it was called). Bob has been dead many years now and Bruce is also dead I believe. Malcolm , as far as I know, is still alive and living on their farm at Cornhill which is now run by his son Robert. The Douglas's also owned Grange Farm down Humford lane for a while.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee I knew thaaaaat, Well done Pete

I know my place. I think?
