Over a month ago, B**P reported on missing Sally Allan, a 59-year-old who was last seen leaving her house on Boxing Day and heading for the Quayside in early hours of the morning. It was suggested that Sally may have been suffering from mental health problems, and so in aid of her and others who may be experiencing the same thing, a fundraising page was set up – this page has now raised over £15,000 in aid of the cause.

Unfortunately, however, a body found in the water on South Tyneside has now been confirmed to be hers. This is devastating news for Sally’s family and friends, and our thoughts go out to anyone who knew her.

Yesterday, an inquest was opened into her death. Coroner Terence Carney has opened and adjourned the inquest until March 21st.

Hopefully, authorities will soon accept that there is an undeniable correlation between mental health problems and events like this – thanks to the money raised on behalf of Sally’s memory, this might just be possible.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
