I’m from Wigan. AMA

[PotatoPie888]

I am a long time user lured back here after being disillusioned by a particularly horrible thread.
Anyway, as I say, I’m from Wigan. If anyone is remotely interested, ask away.

@NeverDropYourMoonCup No I don’t, for family reasons, but I don’t live far away and I am there several times a week.

Do you know the actor Con O'Neill? He's from around there, I think. If you do, what is he like?

I’m afraid I don’t @PainterInPeril although j do follow him on twitter.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand your accent so have no idea what you’re saying

@NoBetterthanSheShouldBe

No questions just jealous that you have Merry Hell as a local band!

@PotatoPie888 He's a great actor, isn't he?

Is Velocity always as chocker as it was this Saturday just gone?

As referenced on that thread, what actually happens if people don't wear the required black sportswear? 😂

And have you seen a woman buying pesto while actually vibrating with rage so the jars rattle noisily in the basket?

Do you hate the one way system as much as me ? Especially with those bloody road works near the station

@bigbeatmanifesto I’ve been to Velocity when mine were little. Thankfully they are too old for such things now. I don’t miss it.

Do you know where Wigan casino used to be ? Is the Bees Knees still there ??

@DaisyNGO I can’t help you there because I neither wear black sportswear or eat pesto from jars. I prefer Toast (the clothes) and homemade (pesto).

I hate the one way system.

Do you remember Crusader Cabs (aka rentawreck) opposite Wigan Pier?

Is the John Bull still there?

Why are there so many Goths in the NW, do you think?

Some of my replies aren’t loading

Goths in the NW are just a reaction against the casuals. It’s a nice counter culture for the clever kids. I wasn’t a goth but definitely relate to having wanted to be different. I found a different way to express that.

I can’t believe nobody has asked about Pemps.

Do you eat babies heads?

I have to confess to never truly liking the Bees Knees vibe. I don’t know why that is.

@Bettybantz indeed I do although I call them babbies yeds.

Go on then, what's a pemp?

Are you a fan of northern soul and the amazing dancing?

Who ate all the pies?

Can you post me a selection of the town's best pies please?

@PotatoPie888 best pie is Baldy’s sorry to disagree with you
