  3. Where Can I Buy Duck Breast?

    Where can I buy duck breast?

    Apart from buying whole duck from the supermarket, I'm finding it hard to find anywhere that sells good quality duck breast.

    I found a butcher online who will deliver at a huge cost (from the other side of the country!) but I'd rather buy from somewhere a bit more local.

  5. Police On Front Street?

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Anybody know why the police were on foot on the front street with a few cars patrolling? I was approached as apparantly I matched the description of somebody they were looking for. They wouldn't give me any info.

    Are Bedlington's criminal element carrying 10 week old puppies with them on their escapades as a disguise to throw the police off the scent? I don't see how I possibly could have looked like I'd just been engaging in criminal activity. Unless of course somebody is missing a puppy.

    The officer was very polite just seemed like an odd choice of person to stop that's all.

    That wasn't you I saw today with a little ginger pup was it?

    Cute puppy.

  8. Bank Charges

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Mr Darn, it isn't always our fault when we are charged by banks. A while back I ended my contract with an insurer – paid off what I owed, cancelled the Direct Debit and left it at that, thinking it was all sorted.

    A while later I got a letter from the bank stating that I'd been charged £80 because the insurance company had tried to take a stupid amount of money out of my account – twice.

    In the end I got an apology from the Insurers, but the bank was adamant that I paid the £80. I didn't though – I went to the branch and told them that I refused to pay it. After about 20 minutes of arguing and feeling like I was getting nowhere, I just requested to close my bank account. Funnily enough, the clerk went scurrying off and came back with a manager of some sort, who politely said that he would be quite happy to write off the £80 for me.

    I would have had to pay the bank £80 for the mistake of someone else – it was out of my control.

    Today's ruling at the Supreme Court doesn't really bother me that much – it didn't come as a surprise. Bet it doesn't do anything for people's feelings towards the banks at the moment though.

  9. Parking In Beaufront Park

    in Talk of the Town

    Posted

    Hi, This is warhorse I would like to begin this forum with the problem of inconsiderate parkers on Beaufront Park. This estate is littered with cars white vans and trailers and is becominr to look like an indutrial estate and its about time that something should be done.

    Are the people who own these cars / vans / trailers residents of Beaufront Park?

    If they are then I'm afraid it isn't illegal to own any of them.

    However if they are using the area as a car park, why not address the issue with the council? Maybe they would consider introducing Residents Only parking?
