'Wigin' dialect on posters

Bit random, but (if it's not been covered here before) does anyone else have any thoughts on the 'Wigin' dialect that's appeared on poster-y things around the town centre?
There is - or was, it's a while since I've been down there - some on the hoardings opposite the baths on Millgate, containing (supposed) memories or anecdotes about life in Wigan. I can't remember what any of them say but I can remember how it's said: "Eee, we ad a reet good taame", that sort of thing. Last week I noticed one's appeared on Standishgate, near where M&S used to be. It lists some of the things Wigan is famous for. One's Uncle Joe's, can't remember the others, but whatever they are, they 'Mek Wigin'.
I'm descended from generations of pie-eaters and I am in no way ashamed of the accent I've inherited from them (even if it is nowhere near as strong as my granddad's). I know what I think about the dialect on those posters, but I'd be interested to see what other people think about it...

CanalAli. There used to be a regular column in the Wigan Obsrever that was written in Wigan dialect and I could never read it but when my Dad used to read it to me I under stood every word.Some of my grandchildren were born and live near Twickenham and even though I try to tone my accent down I can see sometimes they have not clue what I have said.God knows what they would make out of reading those posters.

Wasn't there something on showing you Wigan dialect?

Hello Ali. You’ve been a member here for three years, but you’ve only posted 11 times. With respect, perhaps if you spend a little more time here and read the topics already posted, you’ll see a lot of “Wiganese” on here by the members.

Look at the very top of the board where there are different things of interest, and click on STUFF, then scroll down to Wigan Dialect and Wigan Speyk.

The way it is spelt is tenuous as there’s no right or wrong way, but we all have our own way of expressing it. Some folk on here have an extremely broad accent - I do not - even though I am a Wiganner born and bred.

It does appear to be disappearing to a certain degree, and not many young people have a broad accent any longer, leaving only the older generation who maintain it. I believe in keeping local accents because it’s a part of who we are and where we’re from.

Wigan has an accent all of it's own. The old "broad Lancashire" dialect, as used by miners and farmers alike, is not the Wigan accent or dialect.
A good example of a strong Wigan accent is the councillor Maureen O'Bern.

Ta to everyone who's replied. I just wanted to see what others thought before I stuck in my two penn 'orth.
Mainly, I suppose, I wanted to see if anyone else found those posters/that 'dialect' as annoying as I do. To me anyway, it just sounds so exaggerated and false, as though it's been written by someone who's either never been to Lancashire, let alone Wigan, or is actually from (around) Wigan but (in their eyes) 'escaped' but is exploiting their roots to 'speak to' the plebs who haven't been adventurous enough to 'escape' like them. (And its appearance on, originally, that hoarding on Millgate was more about appeasing people who might complain about the hoardings - and the derelict land behind them - being an eyesore than it is about entertaining actual Wiganers.)
Sorry for sounding so cynical, but I've been patronised and 'humoured' so much over the years because of my accent and where I'm from that I'm always a bit suspicious of anything that I can't hear my granddad saying in my head.
If I'm wrong, and the posters etc are the result of a genuine community art project and the dialect is stuff that real people really said, and in that accent/dialect as well, it would be nice to be told so, because maybe then I won't get quite so irate every time I go past them!

Perhaps you're being a little over-sensitive about seeing it spread across town on hoardings.

Are there any clues on them as to who made them or put them up? Are they hand made, or have they been printed? Do they have a negativity in the wording?

If people have patronised you about your accent and where you're from, then they are not nice people, but very ignorant. Every town across the British Isles has their own specific dialect which goes with their territory, and none of us speak the Queen's/King's English - nobody. Even the royal family speak with an accent.

Are you able to take photos and put them on here for us to see what it is that's upsetting you so much. Perhaps then we'll have a better understanding as to why it's so offensive to you.

Be proud of yourself and where you're from.

Without seeing what's offending you, it's difficult to understand your complaint.
