Fred: What year did Susan work on the pit brow, I must admit I like her boiler suit.
Is her name not Yvonne?
No Ron, her names not McCann either.
It looks a lot like Yvonne McCann.
I don't think John G is any too bothered what her name is.
That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet
A nice clear photo of a pretty girl, Fred. Thanks.
And talk of Queens, Roses, and Fragrance encourage me to mention my very recent acquisition, from Pimbo.
It's a yellow, scented Hybrid Tea rose called King's Ransom. I don't fancy planting it out just yet as the weather remains a bit too dreary for my liking, but if John could fix me up with a boiler suit, and DTease continued to enchant me with his well-strung harp, then my situation could change very dramatically.
i think her name is yvonne mccan & i think she was mine host at the brickmakers arms at 1 time.
Definitely Yvonne McCann.
I remember her from when she lived with her parents Jimmy and Annie, in Queen St.
She was active on the local beauty contest circuit in the 1970s.
She had the Bricklayer's in Hallgate in the early 1990s, and I think she also had the Black Diamond at Ince, at some stage.
Philip: If I got you the same boiler suit as Susan/ Yvonne/ or Annie come lately who ever the lady is! and you gave Wigan World a photo, I think your situation is guaranteed to change dramatically over night.
That's Yvonne Maccann. She used to come in the hair salon where I worked.
John G. You're quite right, sir: The said fabric would hardly launch fine words in my direction. In fact, the only launching that I can envisage would be the onset of my flight into perpetual disgrace. Hope you're keeping well.
Yon Philip Gormley's on the ball, remarking about the pretty girls on both these photos.....what about me and Veronica, Philip? We were young once, tha' knows! xx
Irene, I have a Boilersuit you can borrow. It's been hanging in my garage since I retired six years ago but there's still some life left in them, in fact the last time I poked them with a stick there seemed to be an awful lot of life left in them! However, a good scrub down with a Yard Brush and a bucket of Dettol should make them habitable again and, what's more I believe that Veronica is still in possession of her Bottle Green Bloomers.
What a picture!!!
Wadya say girls?
Irene/Veronica. Be ye not afraid of Father Time, girls.
Our ongoing exchanges through the medium of Wigan World give me firm belief that I jangle with a 'dazzler' and, also, with a 'thinking man's pin-up'; comely both of ye.
DTease, both Veronica and I would look very fetching in a boiler-suit! Philip, we don't let Father Time bother us.....we would rather have lines through laughing than NO lines through NOT laughing, and we are always guaranteed a laugh with you two gentlemen! We may not look like the lovely lady in the photo, but she probably doesn't look like that now either.....she will have grown old with US! (Well, a young forty, as Marina in Last of the Summer Wine would say!). Isn't it nice to have a bit of fun? xx.
I think I would rather have me royal blue hot pants and me shocking pink blouse Dtease- they may be in the attic with the bottle green shorts! I bet Irene could wear her French Resistance outfit - much nicer than a boiler suit!
Yvonne McCann and she ran the imperial pub in ince ,and also had a shame lol
