Wigan, Atherton, Leigh.

Everyone's got a story in Sydney. I think they say the same about New York, though the people there are in such a hurry they haven't got time to tell you what it is.

"My family were from Wigan" said the lady manning the desk at "The Rocks Walking Tour". "We have heaps of old photographs; Wigan, Atherton, Leigh". She shuddered and made a funny face. "We call them the "reasons why we emigrated" photographs - have you been there?".

Without wishing to be rude about Wigan, Atherton and Leigh (I have a significant readership there), I know exactly what she's getting at. And that's all I'm saying on the subject.

If only she'd had photos of Ashton, she'd have had her own honourary PCT!
