Our mum was a Pembertonian from birth and she always said Lommera Green. She also said "get up to Lommera Poss" meaning get to bed.
She had a very strong Pemberton dialect, and was nothing like how the young people speak today.
Sadly, accents and dialects are slowly disappearing, which is a shame. I no longer have a Wigan accent, but know how to use it from time to time. Dialects vary from Pemberton to Ashton, from Aspull to Standish etc. Little variations on the same words.
In fact, I've written a lot of comical stories about an old man, and all his spoken word is in Wigan dialect as they wouldn't sound as comical in correct grammar.
