Here it is at last. I've been looking for an old fashioned vinegar bottle for ages and so have one or two other people from Wigan World.
Thank you to everyone who have been looking and many thanks to Ron Hunt who eventually found one for me. I know Maureen will be pleased as well. I am made up with it, I really am!
Finally, thank you to Irene and Peter, who very kindly delivered it to me. It was great meeting you both.
I couldn't let the occasion pass without taking a photo. Strictly speaking, I know this photo doesn't belong here as it's new but the vinegar bottle is quite old, so I hope Brian will permit it. Thanks again everyone.

Yippppeeee! Eureka! I knew someone would come across one one day. Glad to hear you now have one, Margaret.... did you all have fish and chips to celebrate? And I hope Brian will say the photo is fine here.. They are Wiganners after all. Nice to see another photo of Irene and Peter

Wish I'd known you were looking for one, I have one in the cupboard seldom used. I find it easier to buy a bottle of vinegar with a sprinkler built into it, fairly cheap at Morrison's!

Thankyou Colin! There is one on photo-a-day in September of Peter and I in our 1940s gear.

Looks like you should be making a speach at the Oscars Irene. Winner of the best seasoned pie award goes to.....

Well, not to Flaggy for spelling!

I was wondering which one of you men would notice that.
