Photo-a-Day  (Wednesday, 24th February, 2021)

Its a funny old world, two people on this photo and one looks like they are texting and the other looks like they are receiving a phone call.

I don't know what material has been used for the fountain but it looks like faded plastic to me. The Trevi Fountain it ain't . I couldn't imagine anybody jumping in with wild abandon. As in 'Dolce Vita'....( but that's the Mediterraneans after all)

Look forward to seeing the park in the Summer and hoping the cafe will be open. We are so lucky to have our park. whether we know it as Mesnes Park or Wigan Park.

What's wrong with that , Mick.

Ill tell you whats wrong with that, while they are in their own little world busy doing nothing, the child is not being supervised.
It only takes a few seconds and that child can be in the freezing water.
Then it will be a 999 call and the police, fire brigade and ambulance will be sent, then it will be straight to A&E, jumping the queue as they go, and a full medical team will be put on full alert, and maybe even a helicopter ride to Alder Hey kids hospital or the one in Manchester.

Lovely photo David, lots of lovely memories in this park for me,thank you.

Its pronounced as Mains Park and not Mesnes Park, although is spelled Mesnes. I've always known it as Wigan Park .
We say Ince Park, the real name is Walmsley Park.

We lived very close so only called it “The Park” as there wasn’t another in walking distance

Well said Mick, I totally agree with you. What would parents do these days without their cell (smart) phones.

Mick, I'm glad you recognise you were wrong in your first comment when you said there are "two people on this photograph....." when there are in fact three people

Actually there are seven people in shot.

Their are seven people and three dogs.

Their are Eight people in this photo and three dogs, look carefully.

These two look a tad bit undernourished to me Mick, so they're probably on the blower to Just Eat for a couple of Bic Macs, with extra fries, a quadruple order of chicken Mc nuggets with extra fries and a couple of Mc flurries....Oh! and a diet Coke.

Mick says there’s two
And then changes to three
David takes a look
And has to agree
Along comes Peebee
With his bid of seven
Then Garry steps in
With a bid of eleven
My head is spinning
And I’m struggling to think
Perhaps I’ll forget it
And go for a drink!

Nice photo David, and lovely park.

Top draw piccy, great memories of this park when we were kids.

I can see 7 people and 2 dogs.

I thought the focus was on the fountain !

Two people on this photo and one looks like they are texting and the other looks like they are receiving a phone call.

That means two who are on there telephone and not looking after the kid

8 people , 2 dogs and 2 pigeons.

Oops! 5 pigeons !

And one eating an upside-down pie!

Not pigeons but SEAGULLS.
I thought tho focus was on the fountain.

The lady at the top right of the photo has a small dog wearing a red coat, a man with a dog in front of her and further up is another dog with it's owner. Two people on the steps near the cafe and next to the fountain is three people. ( Forget the birds.)
Just people and dogs.

Yes you're right Garry - my granddaughter has a cockerpoo called Mabel, (Mabs ) she has one of those jumpers in shocking pink! Personally I don't think they need to wear jumpers they are warm enough with their fur!

Garry your eye sights brill, I must start drinking sherry.

I thought the focus was the icicles on the fountain.
