Wigan Album

Oooh! Very glamorous Maureen. It’s a pity you can’t hear the lads whistling…;~o

Wow. Maureen.....what a glamourous lady! Cyril, Colin, DTease, Garry and all our p-a-d lads, put yer eyes back in yer 'ead an' stop gawpin!

Irene,not quite as glamorous..lately,I haven't been too well but God loves a trier..I can hear my Mam saying that's no excuse.lol.

Lovely photo Maureen.x

Well Maureen, you'll get a wolf whistle from me, anytime and a glass of sherry to make you feel better, cheers.

Apparently wolf whistling is ' misogynistic hate crime ' these days .

Ho my dicky ticker! I'll have to double up on my blood pressure tablets now!!

Be careful Garry these words are not acceptable today. Some people are offended by them.

Yes happy days Maureen, hope you had as much fun as did those Three Men In A Boat on the Thames.

Garry lad, you can give me a "misogynistic" whistle anytime, (except I'm an owd codger now!) I actually got one last year, even at my age, off a workman near our Jamie's, (I think the poor man was short-sighted!), But it just made me laugh! What a sad state of affairs when we're afraid to open our mouths in case we offend someone. PS.... I'll have a sherry too!

Don't talk silly, it's banter for gods sake. Go and peel some spuds if you've nowt else do.

No problem Irene, you and Peter look great.
I hope Maureen is no offended at my post at 21.07. Some other people are.

Garry,no way am I offended..I'm quite a bit older now and hope I could still get a wolf whistle ,and thank you very much..x

Cyril..I had loads of fun and thank you x

Looking back I think our generation ‘put up’ with more than the odd whistle or two or three.

Irene at 12.36 is not meant to you,
It's meant for Sandra from her 10.35 comments.
Some folk on here talk daft.

I knew it wasn't aimed at me, Garry, and I think I know who "Sandra" might be! Put another bit of coal on that fire and pour us a sherry! After being pulled up about a little elf's washing-line the other day, I assure you that your light-hearted contributions to p-a-d and album are a breath of fresh air.

Agree Irene. Garry is one of Wigan World’s gentlemen. Nothing wrong with a harmless whistle there’s far worse things than giving a little whistle…the only whistles I get these days is when the birds whistle their thanks for the birdseed I put out for them.

Thank you Irene, a large glass for you. X

Thank you Veronica, a large of sherry glass for you too X

Thank you Veronica, a large glass of sherry for you too.X
Please ignore the 09.05 post.

I must be getting dyslectic Garry I hadn’t noticed!

You look stunning Maureen, if I could turn back the clock and send you a Picnic Hamper from Fortnum & Mason, this would look good next to you with a bottle of champagne in a ice bucket and raising your glass. Happy days and wonderful memories, thanks for sharing.

Which stretch of the Thames is this? it reminds me of around Windsor, Henley or Marlow.
Have you been watching The Marlow Murder Club on Drama? I think you would like it.

Thank you very much Colin, I wouldn’t know which stretch of the Thames it would have been, we did go to Windsor Henley and Marlow plus Reading and Pangbourne we watched the boat race which was brilliant.. I could live on a boat quite easily, when got home it took a few days to get used to the fact that we weren’t rocking…the rocking motion even helps to lull you to sleep.. and no I haven’t watched the Marlow murder club.. but I should think it would be interesting.

Colin, I completely forgot the highlight of the journey… The Henley Regatta.
