Sad day today as Sunderland High shut for the last time, 132 years it was open.

Personally i didn't go to the school but its a sad day, a loss to Sunderland in my opinion.

Something slightly peculiar happened yesterday whilst I was out and about in the Blackpool area, it was the launch event for the new Palladium spec Enviro 400 City's with 401 being on display in the town centre, as you can imagine there was some enthusiasts about, after going to get some photos of the E400 I went to get some photos of the buses in service, during this time I noticed a kid was stood near me and seemed intrested in what I was doing. After spotting in Blackpool Town Centre, I had some bus rides and eventually ended up in Cleveleys Bus Station where the kid was sat on the bench in the bus station, he then asked me why there was so many enthusiasts in Blackpool on that day, I said it was because of the launch in Blackpool Town Centre. Later in the evening whilst waiting for my bus back to camp in Blackpool Town Centre, he appeared again! Pleased I'm heading home today as I appear to have a stalker

The ‘Sunderland Spectre’ is set to don his finery and parade through Sunderland city centre one last time.

Painter Brian Moore, 77, was one of the city’s best-loved figures, dressed in Victorian garb complete with his distinctive top hat and tails and silver-topped cane.

It's nice to see that the funeral directors are paying for the funeral:

City undertaker Manor House Funerals is footing the bill. The firm has a contract to provide ‘public health’ funerals for people who have not left enough money to afford a full service, but the firm is paying for a bumper send-off for Brian.

Self driving, maybe, but rubbish when it comes to telling passengers where it's going. Needs to lose the silly quiff.

I was in Scarborough over the weekend again so we decided to go and have a look at this new Alpamare Water Park that had just opened. We just parked the car at Seamer Road and got the 64 into the Town Centre, looked around the shops, and then walked along to the North Bay and up to the park, making use of the new 222 Park and Ride that they had introduced to provide an alternative method of customer parking.

Anyway, to put it simply, I wouldn't pay to go myself. £19 for an adult for the first hour and then £2 per hour after (the hour is split into 2 so it is £1 per half hour) and other than the slides and wavepool, its just like any conventional swimming pool. I certainly don't think it is as good as it was made out to be.
