General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There's an Asian shop at 135 Ormskirk Road now in Newtown, on the corner of Ormskirk Road and Grosvenor Street. I haven't tried it yet, but my brother called in a short while ago and said it's pretty good. It's called Wigan Halal Store. They also sell cooked items. The shop is only small, but probably worth a toot if you're in the area. I'd put the link on here if I could remember how to, but it's easy to find via Mrs Google. Oh, they're open till 7 p.m. - even on Sundays.

I don't buy Heinz tinned stuff any longer, mainly because of the inflated prices. I bought a tin of Heinz beans from Tesco Xpress not long ago. £1.80+ I think they were and, when I opened it, it was mostly slop - excuse me - sauce. I normally buy beans in Lidl - Newgate at .35 a tin, which have a thicker sauce and more beans.

Lidl are normally excellent, but a couple of months ago some of the shelves were empty - something to do with packers in their warehouses, so goods weren't being dispatched, but they're okay again, and yes, Basil, they are excellent value for money.

Oh, and I would say "Th'Edge" being a contraction of the words "The" and "Edge" if said alone; but if you say "I went t' Th'Edge, it would mean I went to The Edge." I knows me Wiggin speyk!
