    Is all of this not a reflection of the way most (northern) cities in the UK have gone? After years of economic decline these maladies affect pretty much every urban area in the UK, which has transformed from pre-eminence to a nation comparable with Greece (economically) - high cost, low wage, good for just a very few. The North Sea oil bonanza prevented starving hordes storming parliament and putting our politicians on the gallows, but the future looks decidedly worrying. Do have a lovely day.

    If you think Oldham / Rochdale is bad, then avoid Wigan. They really do all share a single giant chromosome there.

    Careful now or i will make you eat a Pie at the thugby! Surely your comment should be regarded as total ballscrotes from someone who can't decide if they are from Bolton/bury/blackburn :)

    Wigan is the worst. The chippies shut at dinnertime, the monosyllabic pie-eating residents and their warm welcome, the charming overtures of their rugby fans as you leave the Piedome...

  • To quote the Bard of Salford
    I'm telling you now and I'm telling you sternly I don't want to go to Burnley
    I'm telling you now and I'm telling you briefly I don't ever want to go to Keighley
    As I said to Elsie Lanchester I don't want to go to Smethick. Could n't find anything to rhyme with Lanchester
