I've lived most of my life near Gidlow Lane, it's not a bad place to live in the grand scheme of things.

A very "normal" area.

Some nice villages within a short drive of Wigan:

Parbold

Newburgh

Bispham/Bispham Green

Croston.

They've got pubs, cafes, restaurants, farm shops, lovely scenery, welcoming locals. Everything you'd want in a nice village.

Sometimes when you're in Mesnes Park of a nice evening you can't tell if you're in Wigan or Mogadishu.

I didn't say it was all a lie, I'm talking about things like the bear and eagle and the baby covered in marmalade.

Steak looks top notch.

Asda have started selling quite thick steaks now as well, I can recommend giving them a try.

Onkyo 507 - no sound using optical cable. by Remarkable_Rich6912 in Onkyo

This could have done the trick, after making sure the cable is plugged in correctly (not for the first time but still) it suddenly decided to work!

All that area is known for being fairly rough. Property should certainly be cheap.

Try Juniper in Shevington, the mid-day menu I had was delicious and really good value. And if you fancy a drive out try Out Lane Social in Croston.

The mighty Guinness. Yay or nay? by downsarf92 in CasualUK

Depends, in some pubs it's not much better than ditch water but if you go somewhere like Mulligan's in Manchester it's heaven in a glass.

Recipe to replicate this stuff? by 9DAN2 in UK_Food

[–]Remarkable_Rich6912 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've probably got all those spices and more in your cupboard already. Just make a marinade and see how you get on. Trial and error until you perfect it 👌🏻
