Photo-a-Day  (Thursday, 18th August, 2016)

What a load of cobblers this wigan pride! !!

I agree, load of cobblers. A right bunch of the usual muppets believing anything, and standing beside something they think is representing Wigan when it's got nothing to do with the place. I bet they're the ones that lapp up all the corrupt governments and puppet politicians, etc. The colours on the face looks like something out of Eyes Wide Shut.

How can people show pride on public display of something I find so obnoxious, and beyond belief.

OBNOXIOUS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THIS BLOT ON OUR LANDSCAPE.WHAT PRIDE DOES WIGAN NEED IN THIS BUNCH OF MORONS.

I left Wigan 40 years ago; after reading these intolerant comments I'm not sorry that I did.

david - it just highlights why we need events like this.

There seems to be a great deal of intolerance and bigotry in Wigan these days.

Nothing to do with being intolerant This is making Wigan an eyesore. Look at that hideous sign over the Grand Arcade. About time the voice of ordinary folk was heard.I bet if I wanted to stick large circular bright coloured discs on the pavement...as outside Barclays..I wouldn't be allowed.

I think you are all missing the point of the face it is a piece of art and the whole idea of art is to get you to think which it has.

I like it. The town is forward -thinking. Nowt wrong with that!

Brilliant. Anything that brings a bit of colour into the grey lives of a once grey town; is - more than welcome. Cloth caps off chaps. Roll on the 21st Century!

It didn't cost the folk of Wigan a penny. Yet it helped put Wigan on the "art" map. Something that was sadly lacking.

I attended this event and thought it was great. Young people who are so often criticised have got together and managed to organise a fun and inclusive day which also promoted the LGBT community.
I can't for the life of me understand anyone who would consider this to reflect negatively on Wigan.

Oh what a Gay day !

We enlightened Wiganers certainly don't take any pride in bigots like you Wiganer and straight person and proud

Thanks for this, Dave. I've had a naff day today and the bigoted and ignorant comments on here have cheered me up immensely!

Well - after the lack of comments on Photo-a-day of late - at least I got you talking :)

It was a great day. The young ones who organised the event have a lot to be proud of. Well done. Carry on the good work.

Thanks Dave, I always enjoy your pictures,
sadly, some of the comments made shows, that there is still an under current of thought , that will never move forward , come what may. I find this so sad. Is it only me who when a picture comes up , know, kind of that this is a Dave Oy?

Thanks Mary :)
