I’m from Wigan. AMA

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.

I grew up in Coppull, a few miles outside Wigan. I used to love going shopping in Wigan but it's gone a bit downhill with all the recent store closures hasn't it?

I did my accounting technician course at Wigan Tech - I really enjoyed it there.

Did you know a hairdresser called Robert Brown?

@TheMirrorReflects did you go to Southlands ?

Limahl was a hairdresser in Wigan wasn't he?

Can you still get cornflake cakes there? Or is that in Atherton? Can’t remember where they’re from now!

Are Wigan folk still upset about being ousted from Lancashire and becoming part of Greater Manchester?

I thought Pimbletts were THE pies? According to my mates DH (but he's from Ashton).

Pimbletts are St. Helens not wigan!
