@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

Hear, hear. Always look for PJ advice

wishitwasaduvetday · 21/05/2022 09:49

Yes PJ has helped me a few times? So clear and helpful with advice. When having DIY issues I often think "WHAT WOULD PIGLET JOHN DO??!" 😁😁

loveliesbleeding1 · 21/05/2022 10:02

Also he’s hilarious,I remember years ago he said he works for the Scottish tourist board swimming up Loch Ness and it still makes me chuckle to myself.

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.

So have I!
Regardless of sex though, amazing poster and always so helpful. Total legend Brew

Hugasauras · 21/05/2022 10:11

PigletJohn is an absolute gem of a human!

Thissucksmonkeynuts · 21/05/2022 10:14

I really hope Piglet John is a woman, that would be awesome.. I can think if 2 men and one woman I know who could be them. Piglet John, please blink twice if your name is Ian....

MatildaJayne · 21/05/2022 10:24

His/her fame as a really decent chap/chapess has spread. A male teacher at my work, who’s doing up his house, spotted me on MN one lunchtime and said he was on here too, but mainly for PigletJohn.

BustPipes · 21/05/2022 10:29

Agreed - he's ace. Have taken his advice about what shower to buy, and the importance of a good extractor fan, and he was 100% right both times.

SkiingIsHeaven · 21/05/2022 10:30

I hope @pigletjohn has read this thread and sees how valued they are.

BrokenByThis · 21/05/2022 10:36

I’ve been baled out by @pigletJohn advice on more than one occasion.

I think you should man the relationships board pigletjohn. I bet you'd have it all neatly diagnosed and sorted with practical solutions in no time!

In fact, can you just cut to the case and run for government?

SkoolShoes · 21/05/2022 10:39

Another saying thank you to @pigletjohn. Several plumbing/house issues been solved by their advice meaning I was either able to fix something myself - or knew who to ask to help.

bilbodog · 21/05/2022 10:41

@pigletjohn

yay pigletjohn - a total legend!

LadyJGrey · 21/05/2022 10:46

Offering my thanks to @pigletjohn too!
S/he has helped me a few times, and their advice has been spot on. Legend! 🐷👍🏻

ZandathePanda · 21/05/2022 10:50

Agree - 3 cheers!

Wiglio · 21/05/2022 11:17

Joining in to say piglet John is fab with his wisdom

RandomMess · 21/05/2022 11:19

PJ which charities do you support?

You advice on our new heating system and replacing the mains waiter supply means we have 3 fabulous showers

You are so appreciated?

RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho · 21/05/2022 11:25

I love @PigletJohn too. He's a star and we are very lucky to have him.

Thank you for your generous sharing of all things PJ

I too would donate to a favourite charity of yours.

RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho · 21/05/2022 11:31

I'm just pondering. PJ might be too shy for this adoration? Don't want to scare him off?

chesirecat99 · 21/05/2022 11:36

Yes! I am always saying PigletJohn is a star on plumbing threads. He deserves his own tribute thread! ❤

custardbear · 21/05/2022 11:38

viques · 21/05/2022 11:40

BigCheeseSandwich · 21/05/2022 11:47

PigletJohn fixed my toilet 💐

Larach · 21/05/2022 12:58

Agreed! Always look for threads with PigletJohn when I have a household problem.

Thank you! 🌟

Shinyandnew2022 · 21/05/2022 13:38

Agreed Pigletjohn is a hero have used his advice numerous times - most memorably we salvaged our Miele fridge freezer that we thought was dead and saved ourselves a fortune ! It lasted another 5 years !
Forever grateful.Smile

dizzyupthegirl86 · 21/05/2022 13:51
