@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

Yes!! Thanks for starting this, OP - I 100% agree. He's helped me out several times, both directly and indirectly.

I've often thought that if pigletjohn were to offer some kind of subscription service where you paid a small amount each month for access to advice, I'd be a very willing customer. But he just does it out of the goodness of his heart anyway. Thank you for all that you do, @pigletjohn!

This is a lovely thread Smile

Wallywobbles · 21/05/2022 07:55

@Pigletjohn also very helpful on more than one occasion for me. And I listen and take heed of what he tells me.

SpeedofaSloth · 21/05/2022 07:57

Agree. He has helped me make sense of things across multiple usernames!

Subbaxeo · 21/05/2022 07:57

Yes I love reading his advice too!

NoSquirrels · 21/05/2022 07:58

Totally agree! Never asked his advice myself but have pointed other posters to him. And I’ve learned a ton from his generous answers. BrewStar

Move22 · 21/05/2022 08:02

Yes what a fab community mumsnet can be!

totally agree about PigletJohn.

please may I also nominate @JinglingHellsBells who is always there to dispense HRT to ladies of a certain age and possibly other medical advice to, I think she’s great! 👏

ComDummings · 21/05/2022 08:04

Pigletjohn is indeed a legend

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

It's incredible!

I imagine something like the Bat Signal, but with the image of a piglet projected into the sky.

WhiteCatmas · 21/05/2022 08:08

Much love and thanks to PigletJohn!😍

Didicat · 21/05/2022 08:12

Well said, super helpful need more helpful knowledgeable and kind posters like @pigletjohn

BlueMooMoo · 21/05/2022 08:16

Thank you @pigletjohn for all the advice and guidance 🌻

Oblomov22 · 21/05/2022 08:46

Absolutely. Amazing. I keep hoping I'll find something in the house that will require PigletJohn's advice. Grin

Brilliant 😂

johnd2 · 21/05/2022 09:30

What a great idea for a thread, and I agree he should be paid and here's to another 10 years of his advice! I can't even imagine how many people he has given confidence and hope with his patient and clear advice.

LetMeAtTheTat · 21/05/2022 09:32

Much PigletJohn appreciation here.

Lapwingslore · 21/05/2022 09:34

I totally agree.

I hate, hate, hate, having house issues but hate even more how often I am patronised when asking local tradespeople for help.

Whenever @Pigletjohn gets called upon (s)he swoops in and dispenses great advice and explains issues perfectly. I would love to know where that breadth of knowledge comes from and like a PP would happily pay a monthly subscription fee to sign up to a PIgletjohn Advice line.

Thank you PJ we really value everything you do to help us !! 👏👏👏

Razbitso · 21/05/2022 09:35

Yup a brilliant human

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 21/05/2022 09:38

Yes!! @pigletjohn was a godsend when I was buying my first house and had questions about rising damp. Not even his/her specialist subject, I think!

Thank you pigletjohn, Mumsnet legend.

vitriolaa · 21/05/2022 09:40

adding my thanks and appreciation! can't count the number of things I've taken PJ advice on. painting equipment to get a professional finish a big one, everything looks amazing and the gear's lasted us years so far 🙌

Wolfiefan · 21/05/2022 09:40

What a brilliant thread! If you’re reading this then thanks a million for all the advice and reassurance. You’re awesome.

Mamette · 21/05/2022 09:44

I can’t agree more, he is so kind, patient and knowledgeable. Asks for photos, checks back later, always knows the answer! Amazing.
