  1. It's going to be worth the wait!
  2. So, what's the latest news?
  3. Have you been granted a full license now then? Does that mean the other stations weren't granted their licenses?
  4. They've been working inside for the last three weeks. Don't know why it took them so long to get started though. they bought it at the start of June from our landlord!
  5. The workman I spoke to said they're on schedule and it will be finished end of september.
  6. Getting fed up with post being tampered with and items stolen. Anyone else having the same problem? As for the police? Useless. No interest apart from wanting to remove me from the sorting office at Ashington. Not interested in the theft. Bunch of cocks!
  7. How about an outdoor music festival in the summer?
  8. Anyone else getting fed up of the death metal bands on a sunday night? Complained to Environmental Services at WDC, they can't do anything and passed it on to Licensing who also can't do anything. Any ideas what to do other than torching the place?!
  9. Was the 'Nail' not where the council of the time would have collected taxes from the market traders? Hence the term 'Paying on the nail'!
  10. Anyone else getting pissed off with the noise of bands in the Red Lion at weekends?
  11. Alistair Baker from Northumbrian Water admitted that the leaks had taken them by surprise and that they were still speculating about the cause. He said: "We think it was down to the dry weather, which caused ground movement. Water pressure "It's unusual to get one burst, let alone three, but when the supply is interrupted in one place, water is put into the system from other sources. This puts the pipes under stress, and could be the cause of the subsequent leaks. "Some customers may experience low water pressure or discoloured water while we get the system back to normal. It's not harmful, but obviously we're trying to rectify that as quickly as possible." After 24 hours without water, domestic customers are entitled to £20 compensation per day, while businesses can claim £60, according to Northumbrian Water. Anyone who believes they are entitled to more can apply in writing to the company, which will then deal with claims on an individual basis. Courtesy of the BBC
  12. I don't know...... you try to ask a sensible question.......
  13. That's just one room of it! The rest of the building is the base for a theatre production company. I'm just interested to know how the building has evolved because there are some strange old bits of brickwork, especially on the inside of the courtyard, that would suggest it started off a lot smaller and had bits added over the years.
  14. mmm..... not aged very well has it? must be all the chavs that use it as a urinal while waiting for cabs after being in the red lion!
  15. Which bit of town are you in?
  16. Hi can anyone give me some information as to how old the old police station in Bedlington is? Also, does anyone have any old pictures of it? It seems to have had a lot added over the years. Cheers Si
  17. they would fill the system a lot quicker if there wasn't a water board guy watching it streaming out of a stand pipe in Front Street, Bedlington. He's watching it come out full force, obviously straight from the reservoir. My flat is twenty yards away, but being the highest building can I get any water? NO! Wonder if he minds me having a shower in it?
  18. IN A BUILDING THE SIZE OF MINE, THE LACK OF TOILET FLUSHING IS NOT PLEASANT!
  19. I live next to the reservoir in bedlington, talking to the water board bloke this morning (tuesday 1st), he says they still don't know exactly where the leak is and it will probably be a few days before they can fix it AND a few more to refill the system!!
  20. Having lived and worked here for the last three years I have to say that I think Bedlington is not so bad (compared with the suburbs of London). However I do agree with the comments that the council could do a lot more to get the empty commercial premises filled with new business. And by this I don't mean letting property developers turn them into flats! Then new street furniture looks good, it's just a shame that the council demolished the big flower planters by the Red Lion to replace them with the new ones. Why didn't they leave the old ones so the new ones were in addition to them? What a waste of money!
