Johnny/Giovanni. Many of your remarks are so crude I don't know how they get published, you have much to answer for.

Comment by: Vb on 13th March 2016 at 08:39

I cannot think for the life of me that the comment could be offensive....in fact it is quite comical and something Ronnie Barker might say! A little bit of humour nothing else!

Comment by: Johnny on 13th March 2016 at 10:40

Thanks Vb for your support! Remind me to send KenR a dose of happy pills!

Comment by: John G on 13th March 2016 at 10:56

Come on Ken R what's happened to that great Wigan humour, I'am sure Pamela would have a giggle at this.

Comment by: Maureen on 13th March 2016 at 11:42

Come on Ken.I'm female and don't find it a bit offensive..I love Johnny's sense of humour.

Comment by: Jonno on 13th March 2016 at 11:56

KenR, i'm behind Johnny in this, (not TOO close though),lol. Nothing wrong with his comment as far as i can see, after all, what did Mayall's sell ? PAINT of course, including red.

Comment by: Johnny on 13th March 2016 at 13:34

Well said Jonno/JohnG/Maureen.....glad to know Mr Mardy Bum's in the minority! :-)

Mind you -Pamela looks as if an early night with a mug of cocoa would be better -the way she is leaning on the paint cans!

Comment by: Blob on 13th March 2016 at 13:47

KEN R, it would appear that you played a wrong domino.

Comment by: Willy Wackum on 13th March 2016 at 14:27

I wonder if Pamela is still around the Wigan area? Would love her to reply.

Comment by: GW. on 13th March 2016 at 20:48

I applaud your sense of civic duty Johnny. Parts of Wigan could do with a coat of paint.

Comment by: Johnny on 13th March 2016 at 21:45

Not red tho GW otherwise Wigan will look like that town in High Plains Drifter film with Clint Eastwood!
Mind you, Pamela would make a great assistant holding the paint pots!

You could matt vinyl emulsion the place Johnny, but it doesn't sound as romantic.

Comment by: Johnny on 14th March 2016 at 00:46

I'd like to know what date this pic was taken, I might have been available then! ;-)

Comment by: Vb on 14th March 2016 at 08:29

Johnny I can just imagine you with Nurse Gladys Emanuell!!!!Climbing up that ladder ...just passing her house!

Comment by: John G on 14th March 2016 at 08:34

In what capacity Johnny? a lover or a painter & decorator. Mind you I would like to find out the year, £7.49 a tin sounds dear, it's only £9.99 now.

Fred can we presume that you know or knew Pamela, if so where is she now to answer a few questions ?
Bus station was built in 1987, so pic would have been prior to that, so early 80s possibly, which would make Pamela around 50ish now
John G, tell me where you're getting your paint from, i want some at THAT price.
Health and safety would have a field day with Pams footwear these days, open toe sandals amidst heavy cans of paint.

The reason I wrote that comment about Giovanni is, Some three years ago he disrespected me and my sister-in-law by putting out a comment that was suggesting that I was 'sleeping with my sister-in-law' (his words) You will notice that he is constantly using suggestive comments. Some people like that including the ladies but I don't. So there it is I don't think that I am a prude, I just prefer straight talk.

Comment by: John G on 15th March 2016 at 10:51

Ken R: Wow Ken were do we start on this one, to hold a grudge like this can verge towards a vendetta type views and comments and I'am sure pure Fred did not expect these type of comments when he did his post.
I have noticed recently on W.W as I'am sure other people have comments like stupid, idiot, pathetic, we should not be putting things like this on W W all of us have opinions but should respect the other persons point of view, all so the subject matter takes some abuse, if some like trains and some like wagons and some like people and events it's all part of history, let's get back to being light hearted and funny.

Comment by: Stan on 17th March 2016 at 20:58

Come on everyone, we're getting distracted from the main issue here......sandals? With socks????

Comment by: John G on 18th March 2016 at 11:11

Well said Stan, but don't forget the matching underpants.

Comment by: Sean on 18th March 2016 at 22:21

To be so touchy about his sister in law. There must be some truth in it Kenny boy. Lol.
