Red Sky at Night,taken by Kevin Blair,at 17.40pm dated 21/02/2009
Some may recall a famous ship yard on the River Tyne,in fact there were many ship yards on the River Tyne,they are all but gone now but memory lingers on with those left living in places like Hebburn on Tyne,my interest in Hebburn was my grandfather,
Robbie McBride worked there as a ship builder him self,nothing glamorous,he was a riveter,thats hard work by my score.
The area has a town web site Mike Elliot runs it like a tight well run ship,the site is special in that no revenue is earned by way of advertising,no ranting or raving is allowed,its just a good neighbour soap box the way it should be but just look how successfull it is!
And one last bit of interesting news for tonight ...

... the counter on this messageboard page is set to count 'unique visits' - so you are only counted once per visit, even if you browse many messages in that time.
Most website counters are set to click up every time you look at a new page, then click again when you go back to the listing page, then again when you go to your next post - and so on. So the count on this page is a significant understatement of the actual number of page views.
Nonetheless, we have this month rolled past the one million mark since I reset the counter just over 3 years ago (Jan 06).
Not bad eh?
