A similar question could read " why was a frog in "Trois-Riviere" voted off a jumping competition"? : These are local tiny little news around the world in tiny little cities every day.

If you do Google this it is a straight forward question Not Vague at all
For your Information The "Competition" is on Today in Harrys Bar, Wallgate Wigan (Try that route?) And...I will post a Video later(there's one promised on the link I have) Will Charlie Figure in the Prizes?

Bedstor, Mozart isn't saying that your question is vague. He's saying that everything that happens in every village, town, and city in every country in the world isn't trivia. Much more often than not, things that are of local interest are just that, things of local interest.

Ah, but this isn't in just 'every village, town and city'. This is in Wigan !
Wigan is famous, at least as far as Manchester, and down South, even worldwide , it's known as the home of a famous pier; that and the town were celebrated by George Orwell (The Road to Wigan Pier ); and,in England generally,for a notable Rugby League team. (It is really odd how some towns are known )
Alternate Universes come and go, but in the case of Wigan, it would appear a more stable existance has evolved. Located within the Ancient Kingdom of Great Lancashire, Wigan has gone on to become one of the greatest towns in the history of Bolton. When the sun is in the seventh house, Jupiter is aligned with Mars, and the moon is the Sign o' Baal, Wigan materialises for a short period in the next largest hole to Manchester.
I was going to post some trivia on the little town I live in in Southern Ontario, but I don't think anything at all has happened here since the neighbour's dog got abducted by a coyote in 1964.
Mozart, I have been to Trois Rivieres, and I know you are making that stuff up about the frog jumping competition. They banned it because there were too many injuries.
Wigan Is also famous ooofor itNight clubs s Friday night is hweaving with Kids gome from as far away as Ireland(I kid you not)
Otherwise they head up to Blackpool
The Most famous club was the Wigan Casino Big new shopping centre on the Site now and No Acknowlegment as to its role (see link)This is where the Northern Soul nights originated
OH and Ritzmar Played in a Band in the Nightclubs here That alone deserves a Plaque surely

We should be having this discussion in the other area. Mozart? And Yes, I agree. It does need more faces in the Rogues Gallery. Last submission was quite a ways back!

Bedstor.. you never get of topic?
Mozart, I will, if Fred will ! But Fred is such an old dog.. I doubt it will happen. I will send you a picture, my friend
But Fred is such an old dog.. I doubt it will happen.
Two problems:
1)I'll will have to get the plate camera down from the attic and find some plates to fit it. Pretty sure nobody makes them any more.
2)I am a black dog.May need flash to get any result.Definite fire hazard (all that powder going off )and consequent risk of loss of eyebrows, not to mention flaming dreadlocks
Anyway,I am already in the Rogues' Gallery viz. Scotland Yard pursuant to an unfortunate incident involving Edward VII, a horse, a Gaiety Girl, a banana and me (but at least I extinguished the cigar by, er...water )
