Amen to that brother

 He  was blamed for the highly controversial leaks from a Downing Street dinner between Mrs May  and Mr Juncker that caused a diplomatic storm last year.

A German who forces his views  on all around him,    where have I heard that before

If they don't give us the money for the Yurt I have an old clotheshorse and a couple of blankets  I am willing to donate

Ashington gets a new state of the art sports centre and  Bedlington  may possibly get a Yurt , 

Sound about right

In this old post Keith seems to confirm what John posted

Is that Foggans yard through the archway ? I can remember going to the Council  yard workshops /stores in that place many years ago to get a new grate for the fire, for some reason I thought it was called Bells yard 

I can also remember a pop factory on the site of the old Pit at Choppington/Scotland Gate, was it Woods ?

This was hanging in the National Portrait Gallery she was the daughter of J. Todd Thompson of Hartford Hall, Bedlington, the founder of Thompson's Red Stamp Stores

One is never to old to learn Moe, and thank you for putting me right on that, but pray tell me how long where they in there.

I rekon about two or three years, some of the girls who work in Morrisons now worked in Netto when it was at the top end

Further to Rosco comment, it was Maxi Save that moved in after William Low packed in, and you mention Netto, well Netto moved into the Lidl store that they built on the new Top Club site and when they packed up ,Netto moved in which is Morrison’s store today.

Netto were never at the top end, and as of today you can still see the Maxi window advertising on the top windows.

Before Netto moved in to the old Lidl store they were indeed in the old William Low store they moved in after MAXI FREEZE closed

Another posting by John Krzyzanowski has this newspaper article on Hay & Hindmarsh Supermarket - 1949??

I have no recollection of where Hay & Hindmarsh had there shop(s)  - will Foxy have a photo with this shop in? 

 

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts on this topic  Eggy Hay and Hindmarch was the VG store next to the Grapes pub, and as it started self  as the article says  in 1961 it would probably have been the first self service in Bedlington.

Hay and Hindmarsh  later traded under the VG banner

There was the VG as well, somewhere beside the Grapes. 

Correct  webtrekker, that was in what is now Tallantyres shop, it was called Hay and Hindmarsh and would probably have been the first self service shop in Bedlington,  It would have been in the early seventies     

I can also remember one called Moores Stores or Mores Stores

The old store also had a cheap  shop around the back (it used to be the coop wine and spirits and food department)  cant remember the name but it was something like crazy cuts

Gateway

I use my hotmail  account everyday so I know its active,  its is one of the old @hotmail.com accounts 

I have tried signing  this and a few other petitions in the past on that Government site, I use an old hot-mail email address and have never ever received the verification email from them to click on and verify my signing.

I wonder how many other folk have also been prevented from taking part  in these petitions due to similar  problems
