Thanks for the info. A lot on there that I and probably most people did not realise! Really helpful! I worked down the pit for ten yrs,this may sound strange but if they were to open tomorrow I would go back! Anyway thanks again for the info.

Good idea

Cympil beat you nah nah ne nah nah :lol: :lol:

You come across as someone who cares,so you mustn't be part of the muppet team in the local 'non' job centre More details of the type of help and training on offer,and the criteria one needs to fit to benefit,would be helpful to the people in Bedlington and other nearby places!Thanks.

Welcome to the site

Welcome from one of the nutters :lol:

Typical makem :lol:

Did you have your camera with you? Some pictures would be great!

yes still happening probably haidressers :lol:

It goes both ways, import sheet export sheet :lol:

yes Pete you are correct,the Duke of Northumberland does indeed get the first salmon caught,and the angler who caught said salmon gets his fishing for free the next year! Lucky sod

There is Pete, also in the Coquet and The Tweed, you'll not believe this but over the last few years one of the best rivers up here for salmon is....... wait for it ..........The Tyne! But that is no matter, it would be cheaper for me to fly to Alaska than pay for a permit to fish for salmon on these rivers! And then there are the waiting lists and of course whether your face fits!.For decent trout fishing it's £30 a day around here! Oh! and Pete you're not trying to tell me that fishing up here can compete with Alaska are you! :lol:

Pete that's the silo's where Alcan transport their fly ash to be loaded on to ships to be dumped out to sea. Seven Stars Steaths.

Okay enoughs enough, just been down the street and I noticed we have another shop opening soon,next to Don Lynne's! Low and behold it's another flaming HAIRDRESSERS. What are we the hairdressing capital of the flaming Northeast? 'A' listers flocking to Bedlington? I think not! Alright someone has set up a business and I wish them good luck, but come on, do we really need another one in Bedlington. Unusually for me I am at a loss for words(Well I got plenty but I'm trying to be good ) I really am struggling here to get my head round this Eh! What! This really baffles me, what's happening? Aaaaarrgh!

All we need now is for all the good people to turn up on the night. Lets have a good turn out folks. Only part of the job done, now we have to show tremendous support for what we asked for and were granted. Cheers.

Yes the shock nearly had me though!

Pete I don't care how far it is, it would be a fantastic experience! Maybe one day

Vic, Alcan is still going strong,didn't know it was at newbbiggin! Its always been at Lynemouth It does a good line in growing rag-worm for the fishing here, they use the warm water in huge tanks to grow them! Pete,I think you are thinking of the power station, it is not there anymore.

Has anybody noticed how nice it is in here at the moment. Lots of posts good friendly banter,some serious points being discussed and some new members to boot! Long may it continue :D

Ah! I see, I just realised you were on about the Salties :lol:

Fourgee I second that! Well done everyone!!

:lol: :lol: Took me a little longer to recover Brian :lol:

Best Bites??????????? YUK! Last resort hotel, only place open very late, and then only after a good skinful!!

It wouldn't be my tummy twitching Pete I can tell you! :lol:
