The new series of VERA



Never watched it but Brenda is a friend and patron of a charity I work with so won’t here a bad word against her. A national treasure.
 
Characters in it, especially her team are very one dimensional with little or no backstory.

They appear on screen say their lines, and go. As such you tend not to really care about them
 
Have you been to Amble? ;)

In the sixties and seventies when Newcastle redeveloped the Scotswood and west end of the city hundreds of families were rehoused in Pegswood,Widdrington Station, Red Row, Hadson and Amble.
Many problems arose from that diaspora.
When I worked for the County Council I was surprised just how bad these towns could be, I thought they would be lovely country towns and villages:neutral:
