@PigletJohn You are a @mumsnet legend ~ they should be paying you!

For years, (literally), whenever I've come across an interesting thread on house stuff, there you are, tagged and willingly giving free advice, looking at photos, sorting out issues.

I occasionally think as I am looking at my own house,
" I'm a bit concerned/puzzled about x," but then I tell myself
"oh well, even if x happens, I can always try tagging PigletJohn" hahah.

THANK YOU @PigletJohn from an average mumsnetter. Join me ladies

Well I have never noticed this but pigletjohn you do sound a legend.

Botherfreedays · 21/05/2022 00:35

Agreed, absolute legend.

Sortilege · 21/05/2022 00:35

He is an absolute wonder. Very generous with his time and knowledge. 🍻 🐷

Flowers and Cake for you @PigletJohn

He is, indeed, a legend. Very helpful and very patient.

LadyCurd · 21/05/2022 07:08

So my dad died ten years ago but Piglet John always reminds me of my dad with his advice so I have long thought of mumsnet as online spiritual world and PigletJohn as my dad sending messages. Okay that’s a bit weird and embarrassing to admit but yet Pigletjohn is epic.

Onlythelaundryfairy · 21/05/2022 07:10

Absolutely, he's helped me and so many others. You're a legend pigletJohn!

WinoLino · 21/05/2022 07:10

Also the name is fantastic! Sometimes it just pops into my head

HumbugWhale · 21/05/2022 07:13

Agree! He is so knowledgeable and good at explaining it.

NotCrossBun · 21/05/2022 07:18

Wait - pigletjohn is a he? I've always imagined a woman! But yes, super helpful poster.

Perhaps Mumsnet HQ should do some sort of monthly award to recognise helpful or kind posters who are here just quietly helping others with advice and support.

EarringsandLipstick · 21/05/2022 07:20

I'm always amazed that as soon as anyone says, is PigletJohn around, he pops up in the thread immediately!

It's incredible!

EarringsandLipstick · 21/05/2022 07:20

And yes, so knowledgeable.

AgentProvocateur · 21/05/2022 07:22

Agree. I’ve had valuable advice from him before. Thanks @pigletjohn

Dilbertian · 21/05/2022 07:25

AFAIK PigletJohn has never made any statement about being a woman or a man. Whatever their sex, PigletJohn epitomises non-judgemental, non-patronising helpfulness.

PigletJohn rocks!

Clymene · 21/05/2022 07:32

Pigletjohn is kind and super helpful. One of the best posters on MN

Sortilege · 21/05/2022 07:37

I’m pretty sure he fessed up to being male, not that we’re remotely holding it against him.😁

Come and take a bow @pigletjohn ⭐️

savoycabbage · 21/05/2022 07:39

Yes!

MerylSqueak · 21/05/2022 07:42

Very knowledgeable about clothes moths. Thank you @pigletjohn for saving my clothes.

Mytoddlerisamazing · 21/05/2022 07:44

Thanks PigletJohn!

incognitodorrito · 21/05/2022 07:46

Yes, he’s a bit like the Dad I never had. Ok that sounds odd, but we don’t have anyone in our family that’s good at practical stuff, I like reading the diy thread as had some major renovation work done to my house and always look for his reply to interesting threads.

GenderAtheist · 21/05/2022 07:47

He’s a 🌟

clarysageandlavender · 21/05/2022 07:48

Also think he's a legend, also thought he was a woman 😂

My husband knows about Piglet John and has never set foot on mumsnet.

covilha · 21/05/2022 07:48

YAY! Thank you for everything @PigletJohn
Loving this thread😊- thanks everyone. What a brilliant start to the weekend
