we took a tractor from the dairy unit on a few occaisions, even though there may have been half a dozen of us clambering all over the thing, you could bet your bottom dollar that it would be me that gotthe bollicking for taking it if we were caught out. Even if I was nowhere near the drivers seat !!

Aye gan on then

Yup , but it is up the road from Ponteland at Ogle the Wagon is on the opposite side . Good memories frequenting both establishments while I was a student at Kirkley Hall.

Totally agree with you Brett (and ...... cough,..... chowk........ Malcolm). What I can't understand is , you may have heard the same, on both Tyne Tees news and Look North, both reporters stated that the river Wansbeck in Morpeth is tidal. Now correct me if I am wrong, there is a dam about a quarter of a mile upstream from the river mouth. Surely the river will only be tidal as far as the dam so there will be no tidal affect anywhere near Morpeth.

Yep, and he's had all his injections.

Best thing about it Malcolm , He was the head shepherd for Viscount Vinson on the Hetton Estate near Lowick years later. When I whent to see him he had 3 of them, 1 each for him and his wife and a spare one. He was obsessed with the things.

Tony Brown ? there was a Tony Brown at the Whitley school when I was there, he would have left there in 1967 to go to Westridge, ( I whent to Marton) he was also in the scouts (14th Bedlington). We all whent to Norway together in the summer of '69 (there could be a song there). Would that be the same Tony Brown?

I think they had the same suspension as a silvercross pram !!. My mate had a one when we were students at Kirkley Hall in the 70's. You could imagine thrashing one of those things around on the roads near there, how it didn't tip over I do not know. We learned to flick the steering wheel the opposite way to the bend just before we whent round it, this set the suspension going the same way as the bend. There were times we thought we might fall out of the bloody thing when we had the roof rolled back.
