Not familiar with Leythers jo anne? Then I feel it's only right that I should give you a few pointers

Leythers (their proud description of themselves) don't always seem pleased to see Wiganers and often struggle to hide this.. Some learned people put this down to the fact that they had to shoulder the indignity of being directed from a higher place.

The Lobby-Gobbler name is probably a retort to their 'Pie Eater' slurs.

Although they talk like us there are a few things you should know.

They ofter use the phrase/word barnt.

Don't worry, this only indicates an intent to do something.

"I'm barnt have lobbies for me tea" or "If I win t'lottery I'm barnt bey owse i wiggin" Are phrases often heard

Also, it's worth noting that words containing arry are pronounced erry. So, Barry becomes berry, marry becomes merry and so on.


In short, I use the following coping mechanism:

Leythers aren't Tykes,
Tykes aren't Southerners, Southerners aren't French and
the French aren't Leythers.

The beaver story is good news, but I wonder if we'll ever see these chaps near the JJB.

RE the canal links, do you remember this? The flood occurred here. So if they attempt to harness the power of the bywashes, they'd better keep them unclogged.

Oh, I almost forgot. The "ladies" you mentioned can sling their hooks.
