I've never been to the Arctic Circle Stan but I was brought up in Consett, the next best thing, and I never saw a zebra there either.

I saw one at the zoo in Newcastle when I was a young kid. Think the zoo used to come to the olde Town Hall (City Hall) which was based in the Groat Market. Can you remember that David?

I just remember the old Town Hall in the Groat Market Alan but in my days at the Evening Chronicle in the Groat Market the Pig and Whistle pub stood on the site.

I was surprised how many colour photos turned up in a monochrome competittion. Some interesting entries though.

It isn't that surprising when the theme was for pictures of monochromatic subject matter taken in colour.

Ken was quite specific when he set the subject - mono pictures but not black and white. Mono = one colour.

Apart from zebras. "Think zebras, think concrete, think monochrome."

I suspect it was a reference to the rare albino Consett Coal Mine Zebra!
This space deliberately left blank.

What I meant to type was:

"I was surprised how many multicolour photos turned up in a monochrome competition."
