Which pub do you frequent the most?

Also, what pub do you tend to avoid?

Its intersesting to hear about what Bedlington used to be like, thanks for sharing your memories everyone!

Aye it used to be a Sunday School, some of my mates went there when they were kids

I think it should be made into a place to lock up all the charvs

But then you'd have to get locked up Rach!

Only kidding!

it was jean smiths shop

pop clouston and his wife mary had the shop on allgood tce now known as the pantry

Yeah I remember them, I think I can remember the mobile shop too... you never see mobile shops anymore do you?

nah me either, i remember swalnalla, tez, varesy, ck, angels delight thats just a few

So... missdarn - your name?

Silly games, I will if you will.

Well I already have. My name was Blank.

Was this sites banner made using clipart?

Or Wordart?

*Shudders*

Yep. It would certainly be a shame to replace one eyesore with another.

Thats the thing with Bedlingotn, every other shop that closes ends up being made into flats...

Theres plenty of housing here now - but nothing for the people to do once they move here.

ohhhhh yeah i know i will reveal mine if you do !!!

Anyone?

Pop Clouston, he had the shop on St. Cuthberts Tce. his father Jack had a shop next door to the Croft vet on Front St.E and Ron his brother ran truck haulage, coal and spuds from the Borders.

That was Barnes. Ian Bells used to be Blyth Coop grocery, the drapery dept. was just a little further down Rothseay Tce..

Is that who had Clostons shop in Allgood terrace?

The only thing there is, once they have all of your details, you'll never here the end of it.

More junk mail and phone calls for double glazing every other day!

Personal details these days are priceless to some businesses.

Good Idea! This deserves a new topic me thinks...

Unfortunatly i was not...

and apparently MissDarn is well pleased i'm not too!

any news on it being resurected?

I've got the link here... and I've found a way to get a little further back than it otherwise would let you.

But... i thought everyone knew it?

DOS attacks monsta....

Anyway, I've been on a few times lately and the server has been down. Seems to be fixed now.

I hear from a very reliable source that Bedlington may be getting the council back.Before you all start jumping up and down shouting Hooray(I can hear you all now)there is a down side to this.Bedlington has a chance of the council coming back the other chance is we will come under the control of .........................Wait for it ............................ BLYTH.BLOODY HELL if A-!*!@#-on wasn't bad enough,the drug capital of the N.E. is worse,just think of the people that will be allowed on our council housing lists! Blyth could have an absolute clear out and dump everything on our doorsteps!

I stress this is not a wind up.This really is on the cards.Now is the time to stop all this infighting and stand together to make sure that we get control of the council back and not Blyth.

Yeah i know... I really hope we dont join with Blyth... not to be racist or anything but I wouldnt want to live here full stop if we joined up with that lot.

yeah it was Jeans Shop...Jean Smiths shop

Ahhh! Gotcha, She was only there when i was little, the shop was called Jeans, so, you know...

You used to be able to buy them by the bucket load in Smiths shop in Millbank Road (is it still there?)........along with loads of other gorgeous sweets in a 5p mix. Remember Bazzooka Bubble Gum?

Smiths? I remember it being Jeans shop, and then Fraisers... but then it closed completely a good few years back.

Yeah you can still buy them, you can get them in a different flavour too, like a fruity one...

Fruit Salad, thats it:

They divint call me Muky for nowt

Mukys slippers:

Pete gave me the impression he liked skanky boots so i was just offering to clean mine up for him

Oh... haha, you got plenty of skanky boots like Muky?

Monsta you dont make sense....

AHHHHH, RADGY!!! (those who do know him will know what i mean)

last i saw of him he was on his way down the front street on a shiney new bike! diddnt he have a scooby before?

Mr Darn, were you a member of the old forum?

I saw a jar with "pure british WHITE dog poop"

Lush.

And a man selling himself. Well, not in that way. Pay to spend a whole 5 hours with him or something. He was tattooed all over, with piercings everywhere. He was hoping for a couple of hundred quid.

Winning bid was a mere £2. Ha!

Wasnt Denzel the one fond of white dog crap?

Anyone remember?

Terry Mason... thats his name.

Seriously, was there any need?

His point?

He's just as brainless as Monsta when he wants to be!
