i've just been watching have i got news for you and the scottish comedian has twice implied that warrington is a place harboring the lower echelons of
society when he jokes that Prince Harry will be seeking a lower class scrumbag partner, one of which could possibly be a 'beautician from
warrington'.

You wanna watch John Bishop he hammers warringtonions all the way through his act??
bloody funny though!

have you seen that john bishop dvd advert im loving it
''i've never seen a woman with hairy ears..... and i've been st helens!''

i was almost ing meself.



i love his schtik about ikea

And???.....Have you never been into Warrington Town centre lately???

Bang on. I walked into the town centre in the summer on a Saturday afternoon afew months ago, and it was a pram club for teenage mums and Vicky Pollards.
Sadly, I thought the unfunny Jock got his description spot on

Yes there are loads of teenage mums and vicky pollards. However, there
are a multitude of towns he could have picked on and as far as i know, Warrington is no more notorious for this social situation than anywhere else.

One of the funnier editions, and I have to agree with lefty that the town centre is full of girls of that description. Mind you, a lot of the blokes aren't much better.
Does Warrington have more obese people than other towns, or is it that they all go into town at the same time?

Unfortunately, it was our turn to get this gag labelled on us. Next week it'll be Stoke on Trent, the week after..Slough, the week after......you get the picture.

Just take it with a huge pinch of salt, although it may well be true

i believe the thread you are looking for is on the wigan forum and entitled "2011 shirt thread" thats where the real joke is!

I think their shirts ok tbh. Ours is the joke, the players one is good, the supporters one is naff!!

If you are at a John Bishop gig, just shout a few comments about his Mum. I believe it gets his back up.

And what's all this wearing shorts stuff, it's bloody freezing, dress sense in this town leaves a lot to be desired.

Have they never heard of "chin cough" "chill blanes" and "chapped Legs"????

You know i was thinking the same myself!!!The colder it is the less a girl wears shorts and a vest with a bit of bling is the usual attire these days you dont see a bird in jeans and a polo-neck anymore do you!!! Say 10 years ago you would make a big thing if you spotted a girl without a bra on nudging ya mate kinda thing look at her over there no bra!!You go round town friday or saturday evening and try and spot a girl wearing a bra these days ,got more chance of spotting a fella wearing one.

I'd compare Warrington to Beverley Hills after you've been to certain part sof Manchester or Liverpool.

A good example would be the Civic Centre in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Go and spend an hour their and you will truly see the bottom of society. The locals are bred to appear on Jeremy Kyle.

You are certainly correct about different areas of Manchester & Liverpool....However, they seem to breed a more pedigree type of chav. they seem to have a more knowing, almost acceptance, of their chavdom.

Here in Warrington (and other townships aren't exempt), our chavs are really lower end, mongrel types, lacking in any intellegence, and looking almost inbred......I can see why Warrington is an easy target....

quite right......with this recent cold snap I wont leave home without wrapping up in my diamante jeggings, mauve tank top,real mink fur blazer, pink beret....and primrose mittens.

no chance of chin cough wrapped up like that, although the jeggings do bring on slight chafing
but you cant put a price on being smartly dressed

Very nice to see that you're maintaining the exceptionally high standards that were obviously instilled during your youth.

The "pink beret" is an inspired chioce to complete such a sophisticated ensemble.

If only more of todays youth could be given the benefit of your vast knowledge of high fashion, Warrington would become a very much smarter town in which to locate ones self.

it's all a bit rich coming from a bin-dipper anyway,the epi-centre of social/housing benefits claimants is liverpool and he try's to take the heat off his own kind by deriding people living in provincial towns to large cities,i don't find him at all funny anyway.his observations can been seen in any city,town or village across the country,his act would be better if it was a tad more original.

I heard at Frankie Boyles gig this weekend people walked out in disgust at his offensive jokes.A joke is just that a joke i cant understand how people can get offended by jokes.

what has obesity have to do with social aptitude/ class? i find your comments not only offensive but rude!

They talked about this on the radio a few months back, apparantly he was making sick jokes about Downs Syndrome which IMO is too far.
