What takes you up that neck of the woods Leroy and how long will you be staying there?Leroy Ambrose said:Wigan is nowhere fucking near Cheshire. It's Lancashire, end of. It's also an absolute fucking shithole. Living in one of its suburbs, I'm infinitely better placed to comment on that that any of you
Can't you move to a better area/town?1 -

Moved up here for good a year ago, been up here on and off for work and a woman better part of three years now. Wouldn't move back now if you paid me - but the area we live in could be better. Need to be here because she has kids and they go to school nearby. It's actually not that bad - Wigan itself is a hole, but some of its suburbs are OK.SoundAsa£ said:

You're thinking of Big Rob, but I can understand the mistake as he hardly ever mentions it.ShootersHillGuru said:

So, once the kids have left school I suppose you'll look to move.Leroy Ambrose said:

Think we can solve this by saying anything North of the Thames is just North. Any more detail than that doesn't really matter......11

I remember being shocked when first seeing the Thames barrier. I had just assumed it would have been built along the south bank.SomervilleAddick said:

The M62 corridor is a weird old place. Technically, it's the A580 corridor (East Lancs Road) rather than the M62 as that road came first. All those towns along it either side (St Helens, Warrington etc on the south side, Leigh, Wigan etc on the North side) have their own weird little subcultures built up largely around rugby league. They all used to have strong identities - back from when they were pit towns I guess - and all have little satellite towns around them that also have their idiosyncracies. The accents are the weirdest - the further away you get from Liverpool, the scousier they seem to get. Skelmersdale is the prime example - they sound more like scousers than scousers. Doesn't happen the other way though - once you get out of Salford coming West, they all have variations on the traditional Lancashire accent.
Of course, to the untrained ear, they're all just Northern monkeys.8 -
Wigan's a damn sight better than Croydon! I'm not even joking - the 14 years of my life I spent in that miserable shithole were like being in prison - Wigan is like paradise compared to that. I did actually live in Reigate and Woking for a while after I got divorced, and subsequently lived in Chorley and Leigh as well. Leigh is a dump, but Chorley is pretty nice and I guess most people know that Reigate & Woking are decent towns.SoundAsa£ said:

Still got a good job - not quite as good as the one I had in London, but I'm good enough at what I do to be able to find something pretty decent wherever I live, which helps. Eventually plan to move to Australia when her kids are old enough to make the decision for themselves whether to come with us or stay with their Dad.2 -
Isn't "Skem" full of former scousers though?

Yes - but they're even more scouse than scousers. It's almost like when they got turfed out, they felt they needed to 'prove' they were still Mickeys by making their accent even squeakier than it was before, and subsequent generations have just ramped it up and up. If you stand in Skem town centre (actually impossible, because there isn't a centre, it's just a formless mass of grey and roundabouts) and listen to them talk, it sounds like a flock of geese coming into landkillerandflash said:
