"Have yow seen this?!"


WOLVERHAMPTON is apparently the 5th worst city out of 9 from around the world, according to Lonely Planet. What a load of rubbish- it’s unrealistic to say the least. Wolverhampton is not that bad! Ok, so I might have had a laugh about it a few times and it does have certain characteristics which add comedy value (the crazy preaching cowboy, the ring road tramp r.i.p, the nearly non-existent nightlife and rubbish Christmas lights) but when it comes down to it, I can think of places around the world which I would hate to be stuck in!

DJ and artist Goldie, 44, grew up in Wolverhampton and was quoted in The Sun newspaper as saying: “There are places in Brazil where the poverty and crime make your hair stand on end. Wolverhampton feels pretty safe for a city where people have faced hard times.”
The thing is, Lonely Planet didn’t even visit the City to review it…so how can their so-called review be accurate?
Anyway…England's first automatic set of traffic lights were unveiled in the City in 1927… so there!
So if ever you’re lost outside Wolverhampton just look for the blue neon lights on top of the Mander House to find your way back home….
