The Boldons and Boldon should, IMO, be merged. I would propose using the content at Boldon, but having this content at The Boldons. I don't know the local area myself, so it could be that the villages are referred to as "Boldon" more often than "The Boldons", but to an outsider, the latter sounds more logical.

No input, so I'll go ahead and do it. CLW 23:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boldon or The Boldons?

The name is interchangeable, The Boldons being more formal and Boldon being a more common term. The 3 villages are very seperate in their character and architecture which is why they are referred to locally using their seperate names, taking the 3 together the place is really a small town than a village

I call it a boldon as I live in it, but the boldons would be more suitible for all 3. (in reference to the above sentance being edited by 195.93.21.99) I obviously do not call it a "shit hole" --Stikman 15:52, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Boldon?

Should the term 'new Boldon be used or not? i Believe that it should have some sort of inclusion, but with a controversy surrounding the term. Your thoughts?

If anybody can find a suitable image to add to the wikipage i would be very grateful if they could add it to the page. thank.

[edit] The new school a good idea?

I had expected it to be alot better then it is. The colour scheme of it is horrendous! Many of the walls are a dark, oppresive grey. Those which are not are of a ghastly green, orange, blue and yellow. The toilet doors are blue and pink.

The absence rate for teachers ALONE is disgraceful!

I have to disagree with anyone that says that the school dinners are of good quality. If they are supposed to be like jamie olivers then he must serve very small, nasty portions of food. The pasta is always watery, the mince is also watery and contains fragments of bone. the green beans are usualy undercooked and taste akin to cold, raw peapods. I am sure that the mashed potato is "smash" or something similar, as whenever anyone has it, they find large lumps of stuff, showing that they don't make it correctly! --Stikman 15:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
