GUY motors radiator mascots.

Item #: 27590
The aluminium head was purloined from a vehicle dismantler's yard in A in M in the early 60's, the brass one came from a car boot sale more recently. I suspect they both come off buses as opposed to wagons.

Nice items but again NOTHING TO DO WITH WIGAN....Why are they on here?

Comment by: Garry on 12th February 2016 at 18:25

Many Wigan Haulage companies operated Guy Trucks, so it's got everything to do with Wigan, and I for one Love to see them. Have you got a problem with life Wiganer.

Quote..."Old photographs wanted to build up an online collection. Anything to do with Wigan, including walking days, street parties, school class photographs, streets, etc."
This is a WIGAN web site not a TRANSPORT web site Nothing at all to do with WIGAN.

Comment by: Garry on 12th February 2016 at 20:05

I'm right, you DO have a problem Wiganer.
If these wonderful Badges and emblems bother you so much, don't click on to them!!!!

Comment by: SCARAMOUCHE on 12th February 2016 at 20:52

I agree with Wiganer although they are interesting they have nothing to do with Wigan. Read what it says on the box WIGANWORLD not WAGONWORLD.

Say what you will about Garry, but there's never a dull moment with him around. Best leave it Garry, these regular contributors take a very narrow view, but they're right at the end of the day.

Comment by: Ernest Pyke on 12th February 2016 at 21:45

I agree with Wiganer and SCARAMOUCHE. Am surprised at what is being displayed in Album.

Comment by: Garry on 13th February 2016 at 09:11

Well ok you boring lot, put some of you OWN photos on!!
It's that simple!!!! No one's stopping you!!!

Comment by: Ben on 13th February 2016 at 09:29

Buses, trucks, trains, opencast mining machinery......BORING BORING BORING!

Comment by: Garry on 13th February 2016 at 10:58

Ernest this is how you spell "I'm" and not Am...Mm
you pulled me up on P-a-D yesterday about my spelling, as Irene say's no one is perfect and your far from it.

Comment by: Garry on 13th February 2016 at 11:30

Ben must have a job in a supermarket checkout.
We are MEN for god's sake.

Comment by: Ben on 13th February 2016 at 15:43

Ben is actually a builder with his own company, Garry the Man. I take it you use the word "Men" loosely going off your childish remarks you seem to enjoy throwing about when you can't think of anything more constructive to say when in debate with others who have a different opinion than yours. Or do you believe I have not to have an opinion of my own?

Comment by: Everhard, on 13th February 2016 at 15:57

Garry,only some of the time Dear.

Comment by: Keith Beckett on 13th February 2016 at 16:12

Fortunately the spirit of the agreement between the site owners and its users is a tad more tolerant than the critics would have it.
For many, if not most, the album is seen as the jewel in the crown and has attracted growing numbers of viewers and contributors both locally and farther afield.
Brian is to be congratulated for creating a photographic and literary record that will be seen in the years ahead as of considerable historic interest.

Comment by: Garry on 13th February 2016 at 18:25

Ben is a made-up name, the first time it's been used is today. Who ever you are, please up-load your photos even if it is a building site...I like cement mixers.

Comment by: Blob on 14th February 2016 at 01:17

Garry, can you remind us of the last time you uploaded a photo on Wigan World ???

Comment by: William McGonagall on 14th February 2016 at 03:09

I'v never commented on WW before Garry so why might you think my name is made up? Some trucks are red Wigan bin lids are blue Just like you Garry I like cement mixers too

Comment by: John G on 14th February 2016 at 11:40

We have a lot of concrete statements been made here.

Comment by: Ben on 14th February 2016 at 12:19

Why on earth would someone use a made up name? if I did I would pick a better one than Ben, believe me. I suggest you loose the school yard mentality, Garry. I am waiting to join Wiganworld but as yet not able for some reason, I often look on the album and enjoy most photos, the silly remarks I can do without though. I have no intention of posting photos of building sites and mixers as they have nothing to do with Wigan, I see them on a daily bases and have no intention of take my work home with me or photos of the work.

Comment by: Ernest Pyke on 14th February 2016 at 14:52

Garry; It isn`t a spelling mistake to say Am for I`m - see:-
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/am
I`ve had photo`s uploaded on photo-a-day and in Album.
You`ve been told, several times, to put some on but always evade the subject; so your comment is ludicrous.

Comment by: Garry on 14th February 2016 at 18:26

I've done, finished Gone.

Comment by: Derrick Cunliffe on 14th February 2016 at 21:53

Gary,Don't be like that you have given it out so you must be
prepared to take it back you'll be back D.C.

Comment by: Ozymandias. on 14th February 2016 at 22:58

Garry, I advised you to leave it, but you wouldn't listen would you? I'm impressed though, you have the heart of a lion mate, but the sad fact is, you're outclassed when you're surrounded by a pack of hyenas. Take heart, I'm on your side. All the best mate... I'm done as well... Regards. Ozy.

Comment by: Vb on 14th February 2016 at 23:20

Gary and Ozy if you can battle you way over Shap in extreme weather you can do anything!!! (That's with those badges and emblems stuck on the trucks! )

Comment by: Derrick Cunliffe on 14th February 2016 at 23:46

Gary,You will have to ask OZY to be your secretary I don't
think he would charge you much for his services all the best
OZY see you D.C.

Comment by: Ann on 15th February 2016 at 20:19

Derrick. Garry has not given anything out. These idiotic people who are destroying the post, starting at the top by Wiganer, Scaramouche, Ben, Everhard, Blob. Garry was only defending his corner and when you read through he's said nothing wrong to upset anyone. In my opinion Ozy has uploaded some wonderful items over the past few months. HAS ozy quite rightly says a bunch of hyenas. There's one thing for sure, I know who the REAL men are from this little lot.

Comment by: Ben on 15th February 2016 at 20:39

Ann, it's very clear from your post that you have not read the remarks in full. I said and I quote "Buses, trucks, trains, opencast mining machinery......BORING BORING BORING!" to which I got a reply from Garry and I quote again "Ben must have a job in a supermarket checkout."

There was no need for such a snide and uncalled for remark because I gave my opinion. I can assure you I am a "real man" and not idiotic as you suggest, you don't know me and can't possibly come to any conclusion about me from my one opinion.

Comment by: WGR on 16th February 2016 at 09:37

Play nicely children or someone will be going to bed with pink legs.

Comment by: Philip on 16th February 2016 at 17:59

Why spoil such a good web site with arguments like these ?

Comment by: AB on 16th February 2016 at 18:38

All this banter caused by Red Indian radiator caps
HOW..HOW
