Anyone near the Marus Bridge island end of Poolstock Lane, take a look at whats going on down there.

The blokes digging the road up have ruptured a water main and water is shooting into the air about twice as high as a house



Cant see them fixing the road today now, going to be disaster traffic tomorrow.

I thought it looked impressive, just wish had my camera with me.

Just saw it when i was taking my daughter to work , i then went back with my son who filmed it...it's very impressive

Gerrit on t'internet!

Thanks , i never got a photo only a video and i'm struggling to upload footage

Shame it didn't happen at the roundabout coming off the motorway.

ing numpties!!! Are they actually trained? haha

At Leigh College.

Can see my bill being larger next month to help pay for it. Idiots!

Hope they get it fixed quick , or we could end up with a water shortage at the end of this BBQ summer

I've just been for a walk along the canal near Scotsmans Flash and the missus saw the plume of water, and we did wonder what it was. Assumed it was firemen hosing down a fire or summat!

shame there isnt a tv crew knocking about!! whenever somthing major happens like this in wigan you like getting your face on the local news!

They should leave it like that, its a very nice fountain

Aye lad, i should charge for my appearance. Maybe I should ring my agent!!!

Just had a walk down with the dog...I laughed.

What about the dog?

Funnily enough he didn't laugh.

Daft sods. Traffic's going to be a nightmare tomorrow morning.

Just turned the cold water tap on; brown water ain't nice when trying to brush your teeth...

I tasted worse

Budweiser?

Bugger. We've no water now...
