Places   (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)

The size of the houses are enough to make most people want to live there despite the busy road; those garages alone would be the lust of any car collector, no doubt heated inside. If only us peasants could afford a 400 grand house. I noticed the house opposite on the corner of the old Skitters Rd has had new windows (those ugly gray ones that seem to be in fashion - no character whatsoever) a new front door, and the new occupant has their fancy status symbol Range Rover on the drive. Where do they get their money from?.

I've lived around the Skitters area since the early 90s, and compared to when we lived in Wigan Rd prior the difference in neighbourly spirit is like night and day. Around the estate behind the Pity Pony there's very little community spirit, nobody wants to know you or say hello if your're walking your dog.
