Wor Canny Lass;; if you wanted to come by car I can easily give you directions and meet me at my house to park car up but as you say can discuss that nearer the time;; Babs

Ann, Thanks, If I can get home in time, I will probably come by train, too. But we can sort that out later Love Anne

Wor canny lass Thanks for your kind offer of a lift but I think Jenny and I will be going on the train and it's so much easier for you. But will keep it in mind nearer the time, when we know where we are meeting. Thanks again.

Happy New Year everyone. And me! I'm a Geordie, but I don't think I've ever been to Middlesborough! I certainly don't know it. I can't stay overnight, so would I be better coming by car - can I park ?(could pick up Mommylonglegs, and Ann Lazenby at D'ton station - I know where that is). Or would I be better coming by train (Metro to Sunderland, or GNER to Darlington) Anne

Don't know if train from sunderland goes to Boro but if you have to go to Darlo i can meet you there and go on to Boro. Looking forward to meeting you. Do you know if Jean from Washington is going too.

PHEW...... YEAHYYYYYYY :)

NAAHHH no notes Neeta,we just have a b----y good chat and a drink and a laugh!!

* hands firmly on hips * :l thats my stern face Bab'sy the correct spelling is.............MACKUM.....now I want you to practise it as I will be testing you when i see you .. ;) I was going to bring car, but now I see you are going on the train I think I will do that too..I wounder if they still go through Sunderland..I will go and investigate... Oh by the way as I have never been to a meet before, do you have to bring all your research notes with you to prove that you have really been researching and not just messing about on here chatting etc....LOL A XXXXXXXXX

OYY you lot!!!! Jenny I will not be dragged anywhere.------ but will come if you dangle a gin and tonic in front of me------you know that!! AND the transporter is still there and it looks lovely at night all lit up----know you were joking. Babs I would think Jenny and i will be on the train at Darlington--cos I'll be getting on it there and she'll be on it ---unless she misses it cos she's gone for a w--, so we could meet the ones coming from foreign part's at a time to suit everyone!! Pick a good pub Babs

Don't forget to add all the details to the Events Board :O))

Tea shop, BC? Whatever happened to Newcastle Brown? CB >|<

Babs, going back a few years now. Can you remember the chap that built a boat in his back garden? He had to hire a crane to get it over his house roof. Was in a few local papers. Well thats my Mums Cousin. I spent many a childhood holiday with Mums Aunty and Uncle. Transporter Bridge, Haverton Hill, ICI Factory, Redcar, Seaton Carew, Saltburn to name but a few places. Oh what great childhood memories. Always said then, I wanted to marry a Geordie, but didnt know the difference in accents then. Here's me with a broad Midlands accent. Cannot wait for the meet up. Jenny x

Jenny you married to a geordie then you should know the way to smoggy town, ;; go down past geordies , past maccams, then smoggie town;; Babs Ohh will have Neeta on me sure if spelt maccams wrong;;

Well, I hope we find a nice little teashop:)

Yes CB do that but mostly cod and chips here;; and parmos and hot shot parmos for those who like it spicy

Mandy, I can assure you I shall not be looking at his Crocodiles, or his nose. Its where he comes from I am interested in!! I really do mean his accent. Why do you think I married a Geordie. Lmao. jenny x
