I always thought someone should blow up that red bridge on Crommy Lodges, like Tuco and Blondie did in 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.

At least deprive the inhabitants of The Village one route out to mix with normal folk.

That crap M. Night Shymalan film ' The Village' was based on his experiences when he passed through on the way to have a dip at Radcliffe Baths...

why is it not called a potato pie then?

'Cause it has butter in it?

Little Lever, at 8%, has a higher literacy rate than your manor...

(Which is 0.5% - and that's solely made up of yourself and your family).

Have you got a duckpond on the village green?

Sadly not, but there are ducks and swans on the river that runs alongside the village, that curves around the back of the village green

Sadly not, but there are dead rats and pigeons floating on the open sewer/chemical waste trough that runs alongside the village, that curves around the back of the village's dogshit and glass strewn bombsite, formerly an abattoir (for rabbits and other vermin).

EFA.

Since when did an estate with couches in the front garden , and burnt out novas and a flat roof boozer constitute as a village

 

That's what I've always wondered, I mean fair enough if folk want to live there, but let's not pretend it's a village. It's predominantly a large council estate.

We were always warned as kids to never cross the old railway line into Little Lever because that was where the bad people lived.

Thought it was just said to scare us but ended up with a LL lass for a while and soon realised it was based on fact.

Indeed, and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the homes.

I recall somebody telling me years ago, never go with a virgin from "The Village" - because if her Dad or brothers haven't fucked her by the time she's 16, then clearly there is something wrong with her

Used to be a pie shop opposite the Moss Rose in Kearsley. They had a little metal tea pot of gravy on top of the pie warmer from which they filled meat pies with stuff to spill down your shirt. Messiest but best tasting pies in Britain.

Still there. Wilson’s. And still puts the juice in the pies out the jug 👍🏼

How much generally are pies nowadays?
Fancied one last week whilst up at the van, popped into Over Kellet and they wanted £3.60.

Three pounds fucking sixty!

Christ! How big was the pie!?

We used to have a tourer sited in Over Kellet, lovely site but bugger all there so moved after a couple of seasons.

It's the fault of craft ale twats.

Paying through the nose for catpiss.

Now everyone selling other stuff is trying it on.

My local shop wants about £3.80 for a turkey and stuffing barmcake.

Frasers in GL do the best pies. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. 

Their baguettes are good, made fresh with your choice of fillings

You have to pawn your guitar/Watch/wedding ring etc. to buy one, like.

Want a big pork pie? Arrange to remortgage your house beforehand.

I'll have you know there's a path behind that health centre that's pretty much unbroken and goes all the way to Monton.

I'd also say it's technically in Pike Mill - the health centre.

Anyhow, you think you'd have been happy to perhaps meet someone and widen the genepool of LITTLE Lever by about 33.3%.
