I am born and bred in Tyldesley, my mother living in the ASTLEY area for 26 years. I still have family there now. I also work there!
Probably the main reason that the woman you know classes herself as a Salford girl is because she is from there. I would love to say what I mean but I cant. Lets just say that a small minority of Salford people have spoilt it for the rest when they moved to Astley, escaping Little Hulton.
The main subject, WIGAN. Have you ever tried driving to Wigan from Tyldesley? NAF! I must admit that I hadn't heard of Ashton until we looked at a new house here. Most people think of A U Lyne when you mention Ashton!
After all, we do live in the Wigan borough - in a suburb of Wigan.
The only thing I keep going on about is LITTER. It is a **** hole!
