I think the phrase you struggled with translates roughly as:

You'll get frig all. There won't be any advertising revenue and we'll
be bust before you can get your fixed fee out of us.

Do they still have this sign in the pubs in the Wigan area?

Wigan College of Technology, Wigan campus of "Wigan and Leigh College".
They still have a good Geology dept, up on the 7th floor, with a great
guy called Steve who knows everything there is to know about rocks.
There's a bit of a museum up there.

Recently, political affairs within the college hierarchy have seen it in
Private Eye magazine... things are not happy.

I've never been inspired to look upwards after a few pints... it kinda
goes a bit squizzy if you do that. I'll 'ave a look next time. Methinks
it might be summat to do with the political charter of 1538 or summat
like that... it's engraved in the town centre somewhere. Dunno.

What's wrong with Wigan? Are you taking the fucking piss? It's shit.
Their rugby team is watched by glory-hunting wanker overspill Scummers
who also follow Man Ushited, its chippies close at dinnertime (CLOSE AT
DINNER TIME!!! CHIPSHOPS?), the pies are gristle and dog shit, the place
stinks and the only good thing to come out of it is the road to
Billinge.

I've got a very good mate who's a lecturer at Wigan/Leigh and he says
the place is a fucking shambles.

Please don't sit on the fence. If you have an opinion let's hear it.
