Yep, totally agree, County Hall is full of clowns talking undecipherable (what a bloody word, is the spelling right?) jibberish, but they still manage to make people laugh.

ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want a hand to reverse it Brian?

Not a good idea to park the family jet at Bedlington station

It would still be too expensive. I would expect a taxi home to be incuded in that price. (with the lap dancer)

I've never been in for ages Pete, but since they re-routed the road it is in a cul-de-sac now and it dos'nt get any passing trade as there is no through traffic in East Sleekburn as such, but I should think that it has changed a bit since 1965. I know the landlord bought some land off my brother to build a house on a couple of years ago and he has done nothing with it yet so he must still be content in the Havelock.

if somebody asked me for £3:20 for a pint, I'll be asking them if that pump can suck it it back out of the glass, cos I would not be paying that for a beer thank you very much.

very much so Pete

yup, I heard that too

Wish you had contacted me when you broke down Malcolm, I could have helped you out. I would have gladly brought you a drink of water during your walk home.

just his replaced ones

Nice to know, he must be getting on a bit now. He whent to school with my dad,[ he would have been 89 this year.] Matty Hall must have lived on Church lane for about 50 years or more.

So am I

Melin dear,............. is something upsetting you?

There you go , I can now edit !!!

Foxy, you always come up trumps with the pics. Do you own a Tardis?

Steady on John , youre starting to confuse yersel. Talking about haircuts when you can't grow any now will only upset ya

To be honest I can't ever remember tables and chairs in there Brian, that is why I put a ? in there, John Whales did have that place though.

at least I'm not alone in having trouble since the " facelift"

Suppose the most extreme thing to do would be to build a bridge, now that would cause a furore, imagine the cost.

see I cocked it up again, never gonna get the hang of this. I need a rest , in a big house with lots of special nurses to look after me 'cos I'm getting confused. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Brilliant reading Macolm, a lot of info in such a small space, well laid out.

Barriers not an option as people may get caught on the wrond side apparrently. Prefered method is a light system coupled with notices printed on car park tickets. Red light will be on outside the safe crossing times with those who ignore it , open to prosecution and costs. Brettly, those who ignore the safe crossing times must have plenty of money anyway if they could afford to purposly drive their car into the North Sea and "kill it". I would be surprised if an insurance company would pay out as it would be negligence on the drivers part. They must also have a total disregard for the cost of a rescue as well as the safety of thir passengers and their rescuers. £4200 = 5 years wages that is tantamount to slavery (little over £800/year)

Those people who ignore the rules and put lives at risk must surely have a total disregard for the cost of a rescue. They must also have plenty of money as they can afford to "kill" a car by driving into the North Sea. I don't think that in circumstances like that , their insurance company would cough up because their actions were self afflicted ,as it were. Brettly, most rescues are by lifeboat, occassionly R.A.F. Boulmer may be called, or if the helicopter is active in the area it may call in to offer assistance, usually if there is someone injured. Barriers are considered not an option as there is a risk that someone will be trapped on the wrong side of them. A warning red light, coupled with details on car park tickets seem to be the prefered deterent, with those who ignore the lights (which would be red outside the safe crossing time) being prosecuted. £4,200 = 5 years wages, Brettly. That is tantamount to slavery. Its a little over £800/year

John Whales, ? Brian
