  1. Another sighting, though this is a strange one. Big Cat sighted on the green outside Choppington first school at 4am. Large, much bigger than domestic moggy, large pointy ears with tufts, light coloured legs and tan mottled body with stumpy tail. Hard to believe this one, but came from a reliable source!

  2. Merc, I saw the police there on friday night about 8. 'Spoons will have to sort this out if they want to keep the sort of clientele they are after. But the same as before this is a new thing for people and once they realise they cannot get away with such behaviour they'll go else where, but 'Spoons need to sort it quick before word of mouth spreads that it is full of drunken yobs! As for the parking I notice that residents of High Ridge will be far from happy with people parking outside their front doors and all up the back road to 'Spoons.

  3. Agreed Brian, word is that they have a lot of staff in at the moment for training purposes then they will have their hours cut and then some as you say will fall by the wayside. I don't think this is 'Doom and Gloom' it's just a hard fact of running a business!

  4. OH! Yes there is a solution! Bring back Perry, get the clamps out, I'll be his apprentice, I'll clamp anybody and anyone who has the temerity to park any where in and around the schools mwhahah mwhaha! Traffic Wardens Rool Ok :dribble: :dribble: NCC get the parking meters out, look at the money you are losing :devil: :devil: Get the tow trucks in operation. The police could hit their targets for a month in one day if they pulled their proverbial finger out.Get the cameras erected, put a bus lane in, get the yellow paint out, get the humps put in, bring back public hanging! Jesus I got a sweat on! An' that's against my religion :dribble: :dribble:

    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

  5. Come on give us a break, it's been open less than a week. At least wait until the feel good factor has worn off before making assumptions.

    I have it on good authority that the staffing levels will be greatly reduced over the coming weeks, yes even the period leading up to Christmas. Even Wetherspoons are planning ahead and know that the honeymoon period won't last!

    This has nothing to do with doom and gloom, this is FACT.

    By the way, and I'm not having a go :whistle: Should this 'New Thread' not be in 'Breaking News' The Red Lion thread! Am just mentionin', like, cos it seems that nee one seems t' be readin' any threads on here, an' jus' startin' random threads. If ye get me meanin' like :dribble: :dribble: :dribble:

  6. Stephen I think Malcolm has enough money to pay his own way, put it this way I wish I was£1m behind him :dribble: :dribble:

    I think it is a good thing that we are involving the kids in the Xmas lights thing, and let Newbiggin or wherever waste their money on non celebs!

    I know one thing that would have thrown a spanner in the works, inviting Real Radio presenters to turn them on :dribble: :dribble: Gary and Lisa or The Legends and they don't charge!!

  7. Neil I think that most people on here, in their weird and wonderful way, do support Wetherspoons, but, if everyone agreed without a bit of debate and discussion,airing their views, then it would be a little bit boring on here, don't you agree? I don't think that we are doom mongers, we are just putting a few points across and answering, in our own way, some points that regardless of personal opinion need discussing! I have views,other people have theirs and you have yours but that does not mean that we are against anything that is for the good of Bedlington. Sorry am rambling but I hope you get what I mean. Once again, Good luck to Wetherspoons and time will tell who, if anyone, was right!

  8. I know this has nothing to do with Wetherspoons, but it is breaking news :D Booze Boosters are opening again under the name Bargain Booze. They are doing the shop out now hoping to open on Friday. Down side is they are fetching some 'Scousers' up to do the shop fitting! Are there no Shop Fitters around here? If they wanted a kitchen fitted I would of offered my services ;)
