This started now so that those returning triumphant from Cheltenham can say if they are making the slightly longer trip to Greater Manchester.

I go 9160 with what would be a very creditable 410 Chairpersons.

    For anyone, like me, struggling with that, the allusion is of course (!) to George Orwell’s fictional work - The Road to Wigan Pier. From promenades in Cheltenham to Piers in Wigan. Quite a journey.

    @micra I used to work in an office based next to Wigan pier.

    The book isn’t fictional, it’s partly a description of the life of working class Wiganers in the 1930s, partly a memoir of his (very different) early life, and partly an essay about socialism.

    The pier itself isn’t much to look at, it’s a former coal loading bay at the side of a canal.

    I may regret this but all those people going for 8,000 to 9,000 can’t all be wrong so I’d like to switch from my landline number to my gas meter reading - 8250. Can I retain the figure (353) for chairfolk?

    Not sure how I came to describe it as fictional. I think it is semi-autobiographical, isn’t it? Well, yes, part memoir as you said! (It’s late.)

    Possibly, @micra, you were thinking of the pier itself, which was not in place when Orwell visited having been knocked down some years before. It's been rebuilt in modern times somewhat more smartly than its original form. A predictably snotty Guardian piece provides some colour: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/feb/20/orwell-wigan-pier-75-years.
