Photo-a-Day  (Wednesday, 12th January, 2022)

Nice pic Dennis, looks quite busy nice to see Galleries glass building over rooftops, but sadly not for much longer.

It looks busy but there are less than a dozen people in the photo

Nice photo Dennis, but busy with traffic, and taxis, not people.There is nothing in Wigan any more, and in the next few months, it will be even worse.

Who would have thought a few years ago that common Wigan people would be using taxis to get them around

Your’re right there Mick, thirty years ago us “Common Wigan people” were hard pressed to scrape up enough dole money to get a taxi home from the Pub of a Saturday night!
Are there any “Common” people in Shangri-La Shevington Mick? Or are they all Pit Bosses and Bank Managers? I bet the “Common people” are turned back at the border by the Parish Council aren’t they Mick?
Has the Parish Council built that wall around those “Common people” on the Council estate yet Mick? Or are they planning to move them all out en masse?
They should put a big sign up at the border saying “COMMON PEOPLE NOT WELCOME HERE”.

It's the so called 'common' people keeping business going in that small space of Wigan where it looks so terribly, terribly busy.

Those taxis won't be picking up fares, they'll actually be 'Uber Eats' taking junk food ordered from the down and out of way places like Shevington that don't have Kentucky's or McDonalds, all told they are kept very busy - so much so that United Utilities are also kept busy clearing gigantic fatbergs from the sewers around there.

As anyone heard if the Wilkinson store further up is safe? It was recently announced a number of stores across the region are set to close in the coming months.

Plenty junk food outlets.

And we are living in a world of the common people, common people like you, I want to live with common people, and do what common people do.
Part of a Song by the (Pulp) 1995.

Plenty of common folk up here in Shevy now a days, and they all use taxis day and night, god knows how they can afford them.

Muffin - one of the news streaming services listed 15 Wilkinson stores which were to close - Wigan wasn't on that list.

That's certainly good news for Wigan town centre Pat McC.

Yes indeed.

There’s two Wilkinson’s in Wigan.

Alf pray tell where is the second Wilkinson's in Wigan ?Which area of Wigan does this family live in because the Wilkinson name is not exclusive to the hardware store.

I should of put there’s two Wilkinson’s in Wigan borough.
