Photo-a-Day  (Sunday, 23rd July, 2023)

This is not just any dirt, this is Shangri-La dirt and Shangri-La dirt is far superior to any other dirt.
With Shangri-La dirt you can grow spuds the size of pumpkins. Carrots grow so large that Bugs Bunny can’t eat a whole one. Lettuce grown in Shangri-La dirt last longer than Liz Truss’s government.
Get yourself a lorry load today from Mick de Wigan’s dirt farm and you will never regret it!
(Recommended by the Parish Council).

It's stuff like this that makes your bran flakes so good.

That’s not just a pile of top soil - it’s Shangri La top soil…!

Mick, is that the field opposite the pumping station ?

It's just a slurry pit Mick, many farmer have it for spreading.

Manure ready for spreading?
Unusual photo.

There's plenty dung heaps in Shevington.

Is it top soil or manure? On Scout road Bolton there is a large mound of mainly horse muck waiting to be used on the fields nearby.

Its not really manure. Its called "bio soil" supply by united utilities and has to be ploughed in within a specified time. Work it out for your selves. Ever thought why united utilities has so much land, its to get rid of this.

Bit crap that Mick (Titter)

The Parish Council has passed a bye law banning the use of manure in their village. The stink upset the residents so much that a Perfumery within the confines of the village hall has been producing its own brands of perfume.
Fine examples such as ‘Evening in Parish Hall.’ - ‘Jimmy’s Shoes’ ,
‘Joan Malone Cologne, ‘ ‘Black as Coal Orchids’ and not forgetting
‘ Canal No 5’.
When the wind blows in Shangri La all the perfumes mingle and the folk become intoxicated ( some even fall off their bikes!)

Hilarious Veronica,well done you !! Reminds of a shop that's called 'Bonkers',they had (years ago) perfume called 'It's My Sake' rip off of Issy Miyake and 'An Armi' for Armarni. X

Veronica, I enjoyed that.

Veronica and DTease....you haven't half made me laugh today! I'm sure I've got a bottle of "Farmyard Fancy" somewhere! And Elizabeth.....I remember the shop, "Bonkers", in Hindley....in fact, I think it's still there.

‘Issa Miyake’ is also another one produced as ‘Issa Mymistake’ at
The Perfumery
The Village Hall
Shangri La Shevvy
There’s just too many to mention Elizabeth.
These lovely delectable perfumes can be ordered online from
shangriLavillagehall.com
Delivered free by e-bike (not Evri! ) promptly.

Have you lot got something against Shevy? After Aspull, Parbold and Haigh not a bad place.

Aspuller, there's a lot of inverted snobs on here, who would moan like crazy if anyone criticised anything about them, but are quite happy to spew vitriol about fellow Wiganers who they perceive as doing better, living somewhere better, or just being better people than themselves. Personally, snobbery from people who think they are getter than you is horrible, but those who seek to drag you down through petty jealousy is vile. Class traitors of the worst kind.

Gareth Cheetham what a load of rubbish you spout. It’s nothing but a bit of fun that you certainly don’t recognise. Why would anybody be jealous of anyone living in Shevington??? It’s an ongoing joke started by Mick boasting about his well loved village which he considers is the best place in Britain above all the rest of the surrounding districts! But you probably haven’t seen those posts. So keep your silly pontifications to yourself. It’s called having a sense of humour! In fact the photo has been posted on purpose if I know him. Who else would post a muck midden!?

*better

Have you not been following Mick's comment for long then Gareth?

I see, just like the ten bob millionaire eh.

We just get fed up of being told how "wonderful" Shevington is compared with everywhere else. I'm sure 99% of Shevington people wouldn't dream of doing that, but the person who constantly does so actually asks for trouble, knowing full well what he is stirring up, (and that is something he does it intentionally), and I can't blame the people who retaliate by making fun. As Veronica says, he started it with his constant boasting about where he lives. Aspuller, your village is one of the loveliest in the Wigan area, but would its inhabitants try to make out that it is better than anywhere else?....No, they wouldn't. And that's why today's jokey comments aren't about Aspull.

Thank you for illustrating my point so clearly...

Mick never gives credit and makes negative comments to other post users.
Aspuller you must new on this site or nieve.

Couldn't agree more Veronica and D'Tease,talk about having 'a chip on the shoulder' ! They need to get a grip,and grow up. Is 'Aspuller' another pseudonym??

Yes Irene,you're right,Bonkers is still there I still go in !

I can remember this stuff being dumped in fields fifty odd years ago,it was always full of tomato plants.

Veronica, those alternative perfume names were very funny.

Gareth, there's no jealousy or snobbery in the posts, it's just craic and with Mick joining in the banter too at times, eh dug and others, and as I see there was no vitriolic comments, nor was anyone dragging anyone down.
And it's just like Mick's dry humour for him to send in a photo of a pile of Sh
evington manure

Best thing to do Gareth is don’t join in the banter if it’s not to your taste.
Humour is a gift to be enjoyed and it’s not at the expense of anyone in a malicious way.. You’ve got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
We don’t all want to be so serious about a pile of manure…and “where the pump is located”. I think we would have been blocked long ago if we had caused harm or hurt to anyone. It’s nothing but ‘craic’ as Cyril says and what Wiganers are used to.

Garry, i'm not new on the site, just raising a valid point. I do agree with Gareth though.

You are entitled to your opinion Aspuller even if you are wide off the mark. Speaking for myself nobody accuses me of snobbery inverted or not. I was born in Scholes and I haven’t a snobbish bone in my body. Some folk need to lighten up.

I was recently denounced as an inverted snob because I'm not that impressed by wood fired pizza . ( pad 6/6 )

Aspuller, I'm just a retired coalman, never had any big money not really well educated, but I've always worked for a living and reasonably happy living with my dog and sherry. The point I'm making is I'm happy as I am, and wouldn't change anything.

Yes I remember that Poet he must be obsessed with what he sees as ‘snobbery’. Negative nit picking just for show and putting the ‘cat amongst the pigeons’ ! He’s picked on the wrong people. Garry I salute you for the hard work you did and others like yourself. We are all from working class who come on here so there’s no room for snobbery. In fact there’s only one ‘snob’ and that’s just play acting to get a re-action and we play along with it just for the fun of it!

Garry your my number one!
