I was excited at seeing this posting and finding the venue 15 minutes car journey away, but then sadly I found the date was while I am away in the Lake District. Have a lovely time everyone and good luck in your move to New Zealand.

Maureen thats a shame, have a good time in the lLkes, but we have regular meet ups in Newcastle if you can make it and I think there are few of us trying to get down to the Northallerton meeting at the end of April.

Hi all,

Friday 20th lunch and Darlington?

Yes please

Darlington is in for a riotous time this wekend. Are they prepared?

The Pease family will be spinning in their graves!

Except Joseph - is he invited?

Who's getting the crate of beer for the train?

For heavens sake Marelli! Champagne out of plastic glasses perleeeeeze

- Oh!!! And there was I, pricing Newcastle Brown at the supermarket the other day, looking for a good deal!

Obviously you two are travelling by different classes!

Nowt wrong wif a glass o' broon . Puts hairs on yer chest.

Dont make Brown in the Town now .... marelli go with gally and have champagne.

Brown in the Town Glass???

Surely you mean Broon in the Toon.

That was in English so the rest would understand

Oh I see, I thought you had been on the posh pills this weekend or something.

Mind you have never tasted The Broon stuff (it smells and looks disgusting enough). I would definitely go with the Champers.

Oh I dont mind it once in a while, but then I like Guiness (sp) etc. I am on the happy pills today, schools back and I am having the first bit of peace for two weeks, so I am having a nice cup of Ringtons then going to start.

Joseph Pease will be presiding, as he always does, from his vantage point at the junction of High Row and Bondgate. However, he will not be checking the time by the market clock as he takes out his pocket watch only once a year – at midnight on New Year's Eve.

If the Broon stuff develops hairs on your chest, could they then be located elsewhere to another part of the anatomy, if so I might try it? (after the Moet of course)
