    Quick, start a "Corbyn's Cat Must Stay (deport Corbyn instead)"  petition on gov.uk!  I can easily code a bot which will produce the necessary number of up votes to force a HoC debate, and I doubt that this would even be illegal under the present rules. ;)

    The moggy is safe, Immigration judges would probably rule that sending him back home would breach his human rights by interfering with his family life.<_<

    Or am I just having an episode of déjà vu :D

     

     

     

  4.  However, none of this fits in with Maggies 'tin mission' near Bishops Meadow. .

    The first house on Burdon Terrace next door to the secondhand shop beside the Wharton Arms was once a Vicarage, maybe that had some conection to Maggies Mission 

  5. Could Glebe Row be the road that's now called Glebe Road? Or, could it have been a smaller street off Glebe Road - as Maggie describes?

     

    No Glebe road was seperate to Glebe Row , I think Glebe Row was just the row of houses the stood next to the Tanky pub.

     

    I can remember going to Thompsons Store on Glebe Road, its now a closed down car showroom .

    can anyone remember the big sign on the side of the building saying Thompsons Red Stamps, those must have been the earliest trading stamps ever ,long before green shield stamps and copererative store stamps..

     

    The portraight of the daughter of J. Todd Thompson of Hartford Hall, Bedlington, the founder of Thompson's Red Stamp Stores did hang in the National Portraight Gallery.

  6. 'new beginning for Bedlington' as LIDL annouce multi million investment in new store

    How a purveyor of cheap beans setting up shop can be seen as a new begining for the Town is a mystery to me.

    When I think of the many the many wonderfull things that could have been created on such a wonderfull central site in the Town it makes me sad.

  7.  The present day BBC, in their PC stupor, has come very near to unlearning that simple lesson!

     

    Amen to that.

     

    It makes my blood boil having to pay the Biased Broadcasting Company a yearly ransom that's used  to give platforms to  celebs and luvies who don't know  stork from butter.

    The BBC is  so out of touch with reality they think Joe public actually cares what those morons have to whinge and moan about .

     

    Oh the trauma of having to drink warm Champagne

     

    . :devil:

  8. Those of us who are getting on in years and dont drive have one hell of a treck walking from Millfield to Morrisons to buy a few suppies, then climbing  back up the Glebe  bank with bags of shopping is enough to give an oldin a wobbler.

    Why are all the food shops at one end of the town,surely Lidle would be better of building its store in the centre of town  on the waste land next to the old fancy that shop in the cut at the market place, our end of town has nowt.     

  9. I wonder if this thread contributed to their recent decision to open a store here :)

    Its actully the second time they will have opened a store here,

    Morrisons when originally built was a Lidle store, it then became Netos and is now Morrisons.

     

     I do think it will be a shame if the giant weeping willow tree in front of the day centre is cut down.
