The South Tyneside moggy which made itself at home on a petrol tank - and other stories from 2000
Revisiting the quirky stories which made the November 2000 headlines.
Heard the one about the driver who took his van in for a service - and asked the mechanics to help the cat which was stuck next to the engine.
It really happened in South Shields in this week in the year 2000 and we are revisiting the quirky story once more as well as lots more memories of South Tyneside life 26 years ago.
Maybe you remembered the tale of the teenagers who went shopping in their pyjamas for charity.
Or the panto cast who raised eyebrows when they did their visit to Asda.
Then there’s the 6ft 5ins 14-year-old who was called up to play basketball for his country.
We have it all and much more in a great selection of Shields Gazette photo memories.
