@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

I love the idea of them getting all these mentions and thinking that there’s a ton of plumbing problems to solve today….

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 21/05/2022 13:51

Yeah I've always liked reading the advice given and he/she is really funny

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

I think this is the case. I have also benefitted from.his amazing advice, but I remember a few years ago there was a thread a bit like this and it got a bit OTT to the point of embarrassment.

PigletJohn is indeed awesome but when he next looks at his emails he'll be wondering why he’s suddenly got dozens of notifications Grin

(I've always automatically assumed he’s a male piglet, possibly v sexist of me tho Blush )

Another one here to say a huge thank you to PigletJohn.
Never asked them a direct question but found my plumbing answers in old threads. Invaluable

TheYearOfSmallThings · 21/05/2022 14:05

I agree, so helpful. I always picture PJ as an actual but human size piglet wearing denim dungarees and a baseball cap, so more likely male.

Parkperson00 · 21/05/2022 14:12

I think he appeared on a thread once where people wanted to ban male posters and he popped up. He is a legend and willingly helps so many posters.
Hurrah for Piglet John!

SpaghettiSquash · 21/05/2022 14:18

I totally agree. Thank you! I know that when I see your advice on a thread I can trust it. DH was wrestling with a tap the other day and asked me if the "Piglet person" would know how to fix it GrinGrin

PigletJohn · 21/05/2022 20:07

Thank you for your kind words

I like to feel appreciated.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 21/05/2022 20:11

Yay.

PigletJohn saved my boiler!Halo

I've also managed to do several other jobs based on the advice give to others.

I love when I read a thread and PigletJohns name pops up!

You are very appreciated PigletJohn, you must have saved us all thousands of £ and also stopped the stress of not knowing what to do.

Thank you SmileWineFlowers

veneeroftheyear · 21/05/2022 20:27

Great thread. Yay for @PigletJohn! You have helped me out a number of times over the years. So generous with your knowledge. Thank you.

AlmostThereMaybe · 21/05/2022 20:30

Thank you @PigletJohn !!

OP here, slightly regretting I didn't think to put this into AIBU ("to say @pigletJohn is a legend") -- so much more traffic there but so nice to hear from everyone here! Also, I am pretty sure I read something a year or so again where PJ said he was a he.

MNHQ I know it is not a normal thing but can we / you give a round of applause / email directly to @PigletJohn just so how knows how much he is apricated.

it is very rare that one poster helps others with so much good info ,
