Plane flies over Wigan ....

.... dragging a banner!

LOL , nice one Tonks.

It's 'pie in the sky'.

They don't sell meat and potato pies anymore they are potato and meat

Oh go keep the politically correct - it will always be a meat and potatoe pie

Peter you're right but, I have never ever ever, heard anyone ask for a potato and meat pie ,

Meyt 'n' prayter, and don't let anyone tell you anything other.

Quite right TerryW.
Have you heard of one of my favourites..."wallgate gateau" ?

Ham salad barm cake with a mey't and tater pie in the middle.
Lived off them when I was on the bikes at manchester and bolton..also educated them into the finer art of pie eytin ????

Billinge Biker I hope you educated them about Wigan Kebabs and a Wigan six pack

"wallgate gateau" never heard of them but they sound fine by me.

Leigh had a pie in a buttered barmcake in the 50s,it cost 3d,or 80 for £1,it was a called a 3d slap..

Domin0 they now have buttered pies

Do the do buttered lobbies in a pot?

I worked in Leigh in the 70/80's and they were still eating slappies.

Tough to chew were they?

is there a really good meat and potato pie these days,galloways are squishy mess

As a Lancashire lad now living in the Midlands, I can't get any decent pies locally. So now buy online from Bowens in Chorley. lovely meat & potato, plus pork pies covered in lovely jelly. I remember Yates Greer's in Leigh baking lovely pork pies in the 50s.

???????????????????? enjoy whatever your tipple ????

You can buy Bowens pies at Robinson shop on Preston road Standish, yes they are very good

fat mick you get around a lot, are you electrically powered.

Your are right I do get out and a bout a lot, but todays adventure was by my Hybrid car.
Today me and the missis drove up the M6 to Kendall, then came back down via Milnthorpe, Carnforth, past Tyson Furys house at Hest Bank and Morcambe.
