Tyne tunnel toll ripoff

[Old McDonald]

good to see you posting, I hope you are enjoying life on Orkney

Yes we are "sort of" enjoying retirement, but miss the livestock. I do have a few wormeries, but it is not the same.

The reason I post so little is because of the downright nastiness of some posters on the forum - particularly the Anti-British, Anti-Brexit stance of those who do not live in the UK. There are others who like to make unpleasant remarks about other posters. You know those to whom I refer.

@silverfox Just in case you might be interested, I am reminded by the antics of females at Epsom that Emily Davison is buried in Morpeth churchyard.

Cresswell, Morpeth

I'm heading that way too at the end of June, riding MTB along the Sandstone Way from Berwick to Hexham. Luckily we won't be using the Tunnel!

Much to my delight I've just been through the tunnel heading into Newcastle. £1.90 for a car. Lots of signs telling you how to pay, no problems.
Came from Whitby along the coast past Saltburn, lovely drive, if it's your crops you should be proud as most look excellent. Ours down south have dried out and are stressed.

And just for the football fans Mr Gasgoine now resides in Leicester and goes to the same poncy hairdresser as me.
The only reason I go to said hairdressers is you get free beer while you are in the chair and I have factored in I can make the cost reasonable if I get enough down my throat.
I remember him tearing us a new one at White Hart Lane in the FA Cup a looong time ago, he didn`t reckons its all a bit of blur.

How do you drink a pint whist getting your Barnet cut when your hands are under the gown…

Barber I go to doesn’t charge enough to cover the cost of a pint …

Odd way to get to Newcastle from Whitby. Shouldn’t really have needed to go through the tunnel .

It’s called “The Scenic Route”….well sort of…A19 is the first route North you come to heading East from Whitby…after that it depends when you want to be in Newcastle…can be a right Jim Jam up the Western Bypass.
Not quite as Scenic as the original posters proposed route that is the reason for their visit….
Or was The Tunnel nothing more than a diversion to attempt and sample the delights of extending this thread even further.

Skill............ just slip one hand out to the side to hold the bottle opposite side to where he`s working.

Correct answer, no hurry so took the coastal route, never been there before, Saltburn lovely.
Anyone know about the fields of poppies north of Wooler near North Hazelrigg?
