yay :)

HI all !

Would be great to arrange a drink/coffee meetup thingy sometime. Is there a way to private message here to see what suits everyone?

Sorry I'm not true Geordie enough to brave the Bigg Market but good to see some of us still have the ability to do a bit of scaring the locals :)

North East England Old Blues

I tried a couple of times leaving messages with the official contact for the NE Old Blues but never had a response. It would be nice to hear of any other OB's who are this far north?

I'm in Newcastle by the way....

SPRIM - Pungent ammonia based liquid kept in a saucer with a really dishevelled nailbrush, (usually outside Matrons so she could spot who had the muddy hems and therefore were the smokers) - used to wipe stains off uniform. Is this still used?
