That's believable.
I've met, recently, a trainee solicitor who lives in Springfield, Wigan, who told me that he'd been no further 'that way' than Haydock Park Racecourse. He hardly knew Ashton area, never been to Golborne or Warrington and why?, well, it's because he has everything he needs right on his doorstep in Wigan. He's been to America, Spain, Italy etc. even London, on the train. I mean, a solicitor, who doesn't have a car, 'because I don't need one'!? Now he's no 'thicko', but he's got, like a lot of others, a 'small town mind'. But, after all, he's a Wiganer, so he can be excused for that. I guess theres plenty in Ashton who've never been to Wigan, in fact I know there are plenty in Leigh who haven't, but you try telling a Wiganer that, and they won't believe you.
