I never understood why scousers called us woolybacks, St Helens is an industrial town and outlying farms were nearly all arable, not sheep. It would have been more accurate to also call us pie eaters.@discobobWere you weaned on Pimbletts pies? - I was- grey meat with watery potatoes smothered with ketchup! - The height of fast food! Urgh!! @Mice!- I thought you were a Leighther not a lobbygobbler? Edited August 6, 2021 by Sciurus Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Leighther is a lobbygobbler mate, because we eat lobby while the wiganners eat humble pie 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well you live and learn. I worked in Leigh for years but never heard of lobbygobblers, I thought it was another name for scousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I wonder why it just seems to be applied to St Helens folk and not say Prescot or Widnes etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
