Sorry David, were you travelling to Leigh then? That's your claim to fame. I was working for Radio Wigan at the time recording their new jingles

Yes you are right I was waiting for a bus to Leigh

" I'd like to open Radio Wigan and Leigh and if I'd known what I was letting myself in for I wouldn't have done it"..........
