I've never had lobby,lobbies.

After reading some of the posts on WW about lobby,lobbies,I've come to the conclusion I've never had any,not than I can recall.My mum made tater hash with a tin of corned beef,spuds and onions and I think we had something called bubble and squeak that seemed to consist of left overs,usually spuds and cabbage fried up with any meat left if we were lucky,but lobby,lobbies were never on the menu,unless we knew it under a different name.Is it the same thing as lobscouse?I've used both variations of the spelling so as not to offend any sensiblities on here,I don't want to set of another row and anyway I'm scared peawap will tell me off.

keayed, my dad called it tater ash. and my sister allways makes bubble and squeek on boxing day, she fries all the left overs turkey sprouts roasties carrots,and thats because they love it.

keyead lobscouse is what our liverpool freinds call it or just scouse ..it is the same sort of thing potatoes onion carrots and either MINCE or stewing beef or i supose you could put corned beef in it but we used to call that ash ha ha the things we talk about on hear ..and if peawap shouts at you SHOUT BACK or tell us and we will put him in the naughty corner

Never had lobbies??? Oooo uve never lived

If you google 'lobby', it originates in The Potteries.

Perhaps that's why the Leyth crackpots favour the spelling.

Pots for rags, the lot of 'em.

i thowt it were corned beef hash? or mebbe thats cos I come from a posh bit o'Wiggin!!

Corn beef hash. Or to give it it's technical name, slop.

blind scouse had no meat in it

I was thinking of posting on this thread but I have decided that I am probably wasting my time nobody listens to an intelligent Leyther on here so I will do as rbilly suggested yesterday and do one

my lobby is just through fhe front door

peawapp - you can't give up hope!

As I mentioned on another thread, The Cultural Attache for Leigh has a certain amount of diplomatic immunity.

However, I wouldn't attempt to convert the masses, Peawapp.

Incidentally, message to the damned coolie;

Its corned beef.

Not in the hovels of Leyth. They compress corn you see.

"Not in the hovels of Leyth"



They are called 'chocolate-box cottages'.

"They are called 'chocolate-box cottages'."

Yes my feet stuck to the carpets as well mester!

Although I was expecting a public lav innuendo.

And don't reply;

"Weren't we all dearie"

Weren't we all dearie?
I dunno, depends on how much you all charged!

Stick to the topic.

Punctuate then!

Or stick to the carpet!

"Weren't we all dearie" @ 14:12 was a prediction of a response from the mester.

I can not say accurately whether he would have punctuated it correctly.

At the time of writing (moments before 14:12) I suspected that he may not have.

Hence the predicted quote, complete with missing comma.

If I may be of further assistance in this matter;

Please don't hesitate to ask.

I am asking, How much do you charge, and will the toilets be in a respectable condition, will you cover the 'hole' after use or leave it for another 'guest'?
Oh the quandaries!

I managed to incorporate a public lav as per requested.. I should be roundly applauded, yet I am almost booed, nay, have gravel clod in my direction.

SCOUNDRELS!

Apologies, Keayed.

Keayed, ask Peawapp if he would be so kind as to type a recipe out on here for you, he is an aficionado on the subject, he eats little else.

Perhaps a little red cabbidge may coax him out?

Cornbeef Lobbies , yellow fat floats on top, Yak.

I must have had a deprived childhood being born and brought up in Westhoughton,no lobbies,one miserable public lav where I nearly lost the top of my finger after getting it trapped in the door when I was a kid,I think it's time to emmigrate to Wigan,were they have gourmet food and ever so nice people.( On WW anyway)

"miserable public lav where I nearly lost the top of my finger after getting it trapped in the door when I was a kid"

You sure you're not really a Petty-door Slammer (Chorleyite), Keayed?

Trouble is, most of our 'miserable public lavs' have closed down now.

Most definately not dustaf,but the other half is.I always called them petty door bangers,same diff I suppose,they're also called Chorley currans.

I'm not sore of the difference, Keayed. Perhaps Gwim, with his interest in publiv lavs, could help?

Are there any public lavs left in Wigan?There was always one on Chorley market,but last year it had been moved to what seemed like a temporary cabin like construction.

There's one near the market hall. On the entry that goes towards what was Smith's (Mesnes Street)

And there is one on the bus station, the only two I hang ou....know.

Guess what?

No thanks...Nice of you to offer though.

Perhaps you would prefer one with roses aroung the door.

I don't know anyone called Rose. So I can't help.

That looks like the privy in my back yard dustaf,and now I know where I can find you when I need you gwim.

You have a thatched thunderbox.

There's posh.
