Ye brazen hussy, ye @Canny lass! I never mentioned my knickers! However, on a similar note, d’you remember a shoeshop towards the Neil called Ninettes? Josephine mentioned it but I have no recollection at all xx

Yes, but, I have vivid memories of that shop being called Fewsters, phonetically. x

🤐Ermm ? @Canny lass, your powers of observation are highly admirable, and I think you could knock Sherlock Holmes detection into a cocked hat. X

Forgive me, I know not what I am doing. Think I’ve copied stuff to you, @Andy Millne. x I’ve emailed to ask if there’s anything planned, will let you know when I have a reply, response, Roseanne x

Hi Andy, I had information from @Rigger and @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) about a Bedlington History Group, told they did meet last Monday of each month in the West Bedlington Community Centre, I’ve got the phone number and email address but if I drop out of this conversation now to locate it I’ll have to write this all again. I’ll get back to you with the details immediately. I’ve just heard an email chime and wondering whether Mr Edgar has stepped into the breach like the wizard he is? xx

Are you involved with the History Group, Andy? You have a wealth of information x I’ve got loads of old photos but I haven’t got a clue who they are. The key links have gone now and unfortunately no one made notes on the reverse, sadly x

Essential culinary information x
Yup, that’s the one; is it the vet surgery now? Ernie was the epitome of the non-PC. “fat butcher “, a walking advert for his wares. Blue and white stripes, or is that another figment of my delirious memory? Remember when the blue salt bags in the crisps were in a twist before the sealed envelopes were invented? x

Yum 😋 x we used to call them “seaside sandwiches “ because that was the only time we got them! Memories of Embleton, Bamburgh and Warkworth beaches xx NB I do remember my mother’s “mock fish “, which was grated potatoes mixed with egg and fried (rosti style). MUST have a go at that soon, I had forgotten all about mock fish! Past.. I’ve just been tipped off about “Cloud eggs “, how did I live so long without this delicacy?? x

Grrr @Jammy, I’m ticked off cos I can’t give you a big huggy thank you emoji, not even able to pick up your @Jammy, now it works! I’m so impressed by your knowledge and very grateful for your advice. I did text ‘Aura’ at O2 this morning to ask what sort of contract I’ve got and when can I opt out and change network. I’ve just been to check response, none, so asked again. Then it got complicated. I’m on a contract of some sort and have asked for info like when does the contract end so I can change network and that’s when I lost the plot. I can see a commencement date but don’t know how many months it runs. Previously early cancellation penalties have been mentioned and I’m at a loss. I will have to speak to someone at O2 to ask for details, then I’ll take it from there. I recognise the value of your advice and will switch once I free myself from O2’s tentacles. I’m storing all your advice in a Jammy folder so I can follow the steps asap. Once again, thank you very much, Roseanne x

@Canny lass, hmm, now that sounds like today’s Rutherford’s at Morpeth, ladies recovering between bouts of shopping, a lay-bye rather than a destination clutching pocket money for feed the jukebox before we achieved the luxury of a stereogram at home 🎶🤗xx
