Midland heh, must have been a while ago! Credit Union anyone?

I have created this thread for everone to discuss/debate the upcoming local & parish council elections. http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=15621 Using the link above will provide information about voting, standing to be councillor and other ways to get involved in local democracy. From registering to vote to finding out how younger people can get involved, you will be able to find out what you need to know.

Thank you people, had a nice quiet weekend and enjoyed the bits of sunshine we did have.

Welcome to the site AnnaF and to the local area.

Who's for cognac?

What's these books you are all prattling on about anyway? Shops for e-books, there's no need.

I can't help with the family connections but welcome (back) to the site, and I wish you the best of luck in your search.

Maybe we could implement this rule on all of the sub-forums

As explained above Keith, This part of the forum is accessible to guests who have not registered so all posts, before being made visible to everyone, have to be approved by a moderator. It helps tackle any unwanted nonsense getting to the public eye.

Newcastle have played more European games at the stadium of light than Sunderland.....just saying.

Welcome back to the forum Mr Stitch and under better circumstances I see. Maybe a post in The Bedlingtonshire Consumer section for the estate agents for all to see

Chaakin' the bleeza

They do Pan Haggerty at the Northumberland Arms on Northumberland Street. Really nice home cooked grub and a reasonable price. Next time you're being dragged around town, head there for dinner but you have to fight for a seat.

"heap lie on" The missus said it during the rugby at the weekend and it made me laugh

I was told by my teacher at school when I was leaving for the day what at happened but it wasn't until I got home to see my parents with the news on when I really watched in total shock and watched the second plane hit. It was the most surreal thing I have ever seen in my life.

New Date Where you when the Twin Towers attack occurred?

I laughed at Julia asking what Clarts were

Barter books, have to make all sorts of excuses so I don't come out of there an old man!

I have shared this on Facebook and Twitter for you as well Keith.

It is a tip round the back of there anyway and the skip is for the work that is currently going on in johnsons' show shop. They are converting it to an upstairs and downstairs flat, no tenant for the shop yet however. Surely there are litter pickers going up and down but is it a case of out of sight out of mind?
