They have gone to the great scrapyard in the sky to meet up with the gates from Hartford Hall

Excellent turn out today for the Remembrance Service in Bedlington. Well done everybody.

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!

Strite owa me heed, and still travlin to the ootta planetoids. EH! :dribble:

I know this has nothing to do with Wetherspoons, but it is breaking news 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

Well word must be getting round that Bedlington is on the up and up, first Tesco then Wetherspoons and a billionaire at The Terriers wow what next? Well The Big Issue seller has given up her spot at Morpeth and has took up residence outside Bedlington Tesco :dribble:

Jack must be related to my 'Vishus' terrier

I was led to believe, from a member of Netto's staff, that they were offered jobs, along with a wage cut! Don't know if any took up the offer.

Well said Merc! I was talking to an old mate in Asda last night who frequents Wetherspoons in Ashington his run down of the week went something like this: Monday (His words not mine) Drunkards day because that is the day they reduce the beer prices! Tuesday Steak club Wednesday normal day Thursday Curry club, a selection of 11 curries Fri, Sat money making days Sun Sunday lunch He says all meals are made to order and the cost is about £4.99 which includes a pint. Also that he got gammon steak 2 eggs an' chips £2.99. Needless to say he loves the place! I will be one of those who goes for a 'lookie',but I get the feeling that it will not be a pub that I could sit in all night! Forgot to add he says they have a panic button under the counter to summon police if things get out of hand or the old gadgies kick off

Never happen m8 :dribble:

First the Tory headquarters now for the dole offices

I am sure they have some very clever people who have spent a long time deliberating over this investment, which must have been significant. Hillbilly, they are so very clever and they must have deliberated a long time with Bedlington in their thoughts, they must have really done their home work on Bedlington, I mean they invited that MP bloke to open the place. And you will never believe this, but I was yukked off their facebook page for telling them so,and for pointing them in the direction of a few FACTS about said Muppet. There were also quite a few others had posts removed for telling them the same thing, hard to believe that eh! So yes I agree that they are very clever people. On saying that everyone is allowed one mistake, I hope this is the last one they make. Good luck to them and their up coming adventure!

Strange coming from admin that one! I care BA about politics and radios but I still have my pennies worth. It's not the winning 3G, that's important, it's a bit of fun and the opportunity to whip *** that's important Didn't expect that word to show up so I've starred it out myself

I wouldn't like to be sitting at those tables if the place was even only half full, can you imagine the hassle of people keep bumping into the backs of the chairs trying to get to the bar! Or even trying to get to the bar and squeezing through the tables and chairs. It's not even open yet and some 'drunk' has already left his coat behind!

cheers for saying hello Keith and welcome

yup you deffo work there

You work there like!

or politician!!!!

33 seconds is a lot in a life or death situation!

Access to St Bedes is Required for emergency services!

They also making it harder to sign on! All the forms will be in English only :dribble:

Andy, I see where you are on about now! Mostly your lot of parkers are from W/End? Yes they are very considerate how they park at the top of that road as well! As for recording no plates mmmmm, I had the bright idea of taking photo's and of taking video recordings of the traffic and parking issues, but was gently reminded that there are a lot of school children about at the time!!! So that idea went straight out the window! Monsta, to completely block off Bennies entrance at Ridge Terrace is simply silly Now if they were to put some of them plates in at the entrance, you know the one's I mean they allow you to enter but pop back up so you can't exit, now that would solve one little problem. Maybe we need lots of little ideas instead of looking for one big idea to solve our problems!

I think there is a fair case for lights at the crossing at the top of Glebe Road. As it stands at the moment it is very dangerous for pedestrians especially if they are crossing on the netto side, if a bus/lorry is waiting there drivers views are obstructed and are the buses/lorries waiting for traffic or are they letting pedestrians cross. Locals know about the crossing and are careful as they approach the crossing in such circumstances. Strangers to this are not so careful and I have witnessed some very near misses. Also I think people, especially children, need to be made aware that they do NOT have a God given right to step out into traffic when using crossings!

It was mentioned again on the Leg Ends last night with some new info. Haven't got a clue who gave them that

Malcolm, I hate to say this and I hope it never happens but: If a solution is not found soon you will need more than sticky plasters, you will need a full body cast or heaven forbid a wooden box!
