History of Wigan   (Help with ancient and recent history.)

Many moons ago, you got salt or pepper in little cone
shaped pieces of paper from the grocers,which she or he would
then screw the bottom of it and put your salt or pepper in..
well my grandma hung it in the outside loo when it was empty
on the the usual nail..my grandad came indoors after going there..he was scratching away and when my grandma asked him
what the matter was..he said"me a**e is on fire..guess which piece of paper must have still had pepper on it.
