Wigan Album

Think this website should be renamed "Wagon World"

I suspect you're right, bluesfan. I've started washing my hands in swarfega or maybe take a bath in it.

Wigan world full of diesel and oil

Bluesfan and Howard Get with it. Submit your Tachograph for checking

Are we bothered what it is!!

Blusfan, if it bothers you, then you post something else......simples.

Hello Howard, Please let me know what subjects are of interest to you,and I and a few others will endeavour to
post something interesting here on Wigan World Album.
Kind Regards, Ray.

yuh right Ray it's not a Tautliner it's a Ford. They were rubbish trucks by the way.

Ray I suspect anything apart from boring HGV curtains.

Full of diesel and oil...and scrap.

Hiya Ray. I drove a D series artic with a 28' single axle trailer for Mabey & Johnson in the early 70's. For 12 months or more, I ran it between the various depots at Garswood, Hatfield, Dewsbury and Kirkintilloch, not to mention a lot more places in between and the thing never missed a beat. The cab in my opinion was ahead of its time, having a walk through floor and the heater was second to none. Also, in the days before sleeper cabs became ubiquitous, the combination of the deep driver's seat and the bench type passenger seat meant you could get a good night's kip in the thing. You may also be interested to learn, that's if you didn't already know of course, that Dennis Smith aka Bewick started off with a D series and has nothing but praise for them.

Regards. Ozy.

Fred Flintstone had a walk-through-floor in his vehicle.

Bedford was a much better truck than a Ford.

Like it Barny, a humorous comment finally.

Yes I agree Bedford was a better lorrie than Ford.

Ray you asked me what interest me, well if you look at the photos Frank Orrell's put on, that's exactly the photos we want to see. Thanks for asking.

Yes Howard, The pictures by Frank Orrell are excellent.
I like all of the photos on Wigan World,some more than
others. Of those that I am less keen about,I leave them be,
not wishing to upset people who are fond of them. Ray.

I confidently calculate that the chances of finding a photograph submitted by Howard, or any other of the vacuous keyboard warriors on here, to be disagreeable, or otherwise, would be at best remote, if not non-existent.

Howard I fully agree with you.

Yes Alan you can always be relied on to agree with negative comments!!! Take a tip from me - don't click on photos of wagons,motor bikes, old cars or anything with wheels -that includes roller skates! :-)

Veronica, What about the rollers in your hair, I suspect you have them in right now!!

How interesting Howard that's just how I suspect you - and with a hairnet and pinny!

Do you suspect a floral print pattern pinny Veronica, or a Paisley pattern. Personally, I suspect Howard's personal pattern preference for a pinny would be a Paisley pattern. That would be mere conjecture on my part of course.

Not too sure about floral or paisley but surprised about the rollers as I thought they were obsolete!!!
