Apparently John Fleming, noted comedy writer (won't be contributing to this forum then!!!!) was born in the Toon.

He seems to have done a lot of recognisible work.

Was Flemings land named after him?

Flemings Land was named after one of Nelson's (not the Archers Nelson!)
Occefers. I dont think he was actually at the battle of Trafalgar.Certainly his name is not on the Muster List for it.

However there was a guy called Hutchinson I think actually at the battle so I'm told.He was from here....so there...

Jock Shields

Due to the comments from members in Davie P's post, I propose Jock, as being a man of many talents and always a smile on his face. :lol:

Would everyone not agree?
