He owns only the bits that will make him more money, he's just sold JJB at the weekend, hopefully he'll move to an offshore location.Originally posted by FiveTimesEach to their own I suppose... but doesn't Mr Whelan own all of Wigan
Nothing better than a nice meat and potatoes pie with a buttered barm cake
I'm also a fan of buttered barms, better with chips though. One delicacy I never wrapped my head round is 'pie in fat' !

Personally, I'd have to say that the best pies aren't from Wigan at all. Pimbletts pies are the best!!

Mine has a Manchester and an East Lancashire office - if you're interested, PM me.
Not the cheapest, but the way that my company is structured is slightly more complicated than a straightforward one man band, so I wanted a face-to-face relationship.

We are not too far from Wigan, although to be fair location is probably not a vital factor.
