People do make mistakes occasionally, don't they?

I went to have a look around Wigan once. I saw the ‘do not slide down handrail’ sign on the staircase at the Wigan North Western station and thought this is going to be an interesting place :lol:

Those with long memories will note the incident with the post box in Wigan. I say no more.

I'm reminded of an incident with a well known local rugby player and some pineapple rings... o_O

Yep, I love my town... but sometimes I wonder what the real world is like :D

Turns out it’s not just the lovely people of Wigan who like to slide down staircases ;)
