  1. CL, The fella that allegedly represents your old "patch" has become known locally as the invisible man, I've no doubt he'll be getting the bandages on soon to walk the streets and begin the election campaign.Total contribution to the town in four years has been to  fund a bus shelter. He set up a facebook page for his electorate but he just recently banned a number of people from the page for asking questions that he doesn't like. No need for me to tell you which political group he's affiliated to, I'm sure you'll get it in one!

  2. In a nutshell Canny Lass, the dummy was spit out two years ago when control of the council was taken from Labour. I could write a book, better still I've got a video of a meeting where one of theirs is being told how to vote by another of their own. Watching them is certainly better entertainment than Emmerdale on a Thursday night!  BTW they do visit this website although they do not comment, Guilty as charged ! ;)

  3. There's a regular pattern for delivery now, when Arch/NCC  wish to make an announcement or place an advert the NPL is delivered to all their chosen pick up points in the town and are readily available to be collected by the general public free of charge. Similarly it is delivered by hand to my neighbourhood and many others on a Wed/Thursday afternoon. When there is any controversial factual readers letters they don't want you to see as was the case yesterday, the delivery system fails and the Lion Garage, Community Centre and many neighbourhoods failed to receive their copies I think it really is time the rag was renamed the News Post Labour.  It's also worth a mention that of the three letters I've wrote to them all were edited by them to "water them down" before they were published. Says it all for me............

    I remember a guy called Tommy Darling (No3?) who ran a shop down at Grange Park back in the '60s, can't for the life of me remember what he dealt in, just that he was a nice guy. He was a friend of my fathers.

    There were two Tommy Darlings in Bedlington, if this is the one from Grange Park he dealt in Fruit and Veg/ General Dealer. The other worked for Prudential Insurance.

    I used to work for pennine and can vouch for them being shady as hell. 

    I've bought a lot of their products Brett and they're all good quality stuff but they can wear you down with incessant phone calls trying to sell more.

    Is that outlook? gmail is very good at blocking spam these days. Microsoft isn't very good at filtering spam but is excellent at blocking legitimate mail.

    Yes it's outlook, but  if an address isn't valid why does it arrive in my inbox?
