The time had come for me to return and check out my hometown of Wolverhampton, but this time I thought I would bring my friend @honestplaces with me and I could show him a few of the locals public houses and local characters. First we visit the heart of the Black Country, Dudley – a town where it seems almost every local I spoke with had just got out of prison! Then we head back into Wolverhampton proper and visit some of my nostalgic old haunts, stop a daylight street robbery and help out an old friend of the channel. This part of the UK is always full of characters and banter, join us!

realizing you deserve a better life than the one you were living I deserve a better life my kid deserve a better life and obviously try sort things we make to be a family good on you mate yeah yeah appreciate talking to you thank I wish you the best of luck with everything good day it seems that most of the people that I’ve spoken to in Dudley have recently and through their lives done a stint in jail which tells you a lot about the town to be honest lack of opportunities people turn into ways of life that end up in prison it’s a shame and although other people are quite friendly they are it’s a a bit of a sad Town seems that there’s a distinct lack of Hope now apparently Danny Bean Danny has gone for a point in the old prior so let’s see what one of the local proper boozers in Dudley’s really like we got the best Guinness in D best Guinness in Dudley and I’ve got to try it there’s a lot of crap out there told me this Guinness is an eight8 out of 10 yeah now we’ve just been to Dublin recently and I like a nice creamy white and this is uh it’s almost Tangerine I’ll give it a taste I don’t trust you I don’t trust your palette it’s creamy is a tank so Danny we checked out the market the High Street of Dudley and we checked out AB Boozer what do you think of Dudley uh just pretty much boring run downtown just like any other in the UK to be fair don’t seem a lot of hope there’s a lot of people I spoke to have been in jail so that never bods well jents we’re making a video about Dudley what’s Dudley like [ __ ] [ __ ] what’ you say that 100 crackheads really how long’s it been like that years man years yeah pretty much that’s what you expect growing up in dudler yeah you get 10 just outs yeah not much to do you go to college here do you yeah yeah what you studying what you going to go into electrics yes a good trade yeah earn a good living I advise all young people these days get yourself a trade now no visit to the black country would be complete I’m told without a visit to Mad old Raw famous world famous Pie Factory which is famous for these big like you know desperate Dan cow pies I think they’re call Lump Hammer pies it’s a traditional institution in the area food’s really good apparently and you can get a decent point and that’s what Danny’s here for so let’s check out M rocks mate tell you what prices look all right yeah it’s the black country mate people they won’t pay a lot that tight round here you getting a pie or you just getting a pint we’ll see probably probably just a pint but you know I might get enti in by the Aromas look at this mate you’re definitely going to get a local a well yeah even if there get us on top I’m not having it you’re not allowed to have get for so I don’t know like what do you recommend who brews the beer and we do okay I’d say this one probably sells more yeah but that’s Stronger Yeah if I if I wasn’t on a long day out with you I’d have a pale ale but I’m going to go for a pint of gold please yeah I’ll have the bits of please taste test each others yeah so bitter would be like a proper like black country session beer wouldn’t it they come out the factories and they drink five PS of bitter for lunch back in the good old days how long’s The Pie Factory been here like this the buildings the building was 100 years old last September so it’s obviously 101 this year yeah um for the PO Factory again 30 years 30 years yeah and you still really busy we are yeah every night what a wonderful black country institution mate we P now aren’t we are you yeah paying Danny’s getting them cuz I paid £650 on the toll to get here £650 in a van disgraceful that’s what you get for getting fed around he’s got 100,000 subscribers he’s got his plaque now he’s better than public transport so he has to get fed around by me so that’s why I made him pay for the top you know what I mean it’s the least I deserve oh mine does taste like sort of like you know traveler’s rest back in the day like 18 00 Travelers Rest what’s up no say if you was uh going across country on horse and carriage like a 100 years ago and you need to stop off cuz you got another 100 miles it takes you like 6 weeks back in the day you’d have a p 3.6 that’s how the pine taste I’m trying to explain to a block from Huddersfield what Boston means and he just doesn’t get it it just means good great it just like how you do M

even know what people are saying you don’t understand the black country linger no so there you have it Mad Rocks Pie Factory definitely worth it for the pies for local ale it’s all right but the pies are probably 9 9.5 out of 10 absolutely awesome mate the uh what you Reon the beer isn’t just all right the beer isn’t that great to be fair for the pies yeah the pies are banging so Boston Boston Boston which means banging pucker apparently good um but yeah yeah it’s all right definitely good for a pie um for a pint not really so we’ve checked out Dudley in the black country good people

One thing about Dudley is you dont go intk every shop to try food if you can tell the town is had, you should know how inside the shops would be
Just found your channel and subscribed Wendall. I've lived in Wolverhampton and Dudley and did a video just over a year ago going back to Dudley about some musicians I went to school with take look 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh1h4rAUoqY&t=11s
Spent many a year round the Blackcountry. Sad how it's gone downhill.
Bloody hell, many a year since I had a pie on Mad O's
Great vid mate.. brought back a few memories..
Wow im 63 and was born and educated in the Black Country went to Dormston Secondary School in Sedgley my father had a Garage in Dudley and was the Team Principal for the Jolly Club of Milan Italy preparing Lancia Fulvias for Rallying Lancia won the World Championship in 1972. I last went back in 2013 it breaks my heart to see this. Best Wishes from France.
I remember helping Bruce around 25 years ago . With his then gf dawn .. I actually thought he'd died .. they lived in a empty house squat . next door to me .. nice to see he's still about . Big shame to see he's still on the homeless 😔
The Pie Factory is one of the best pubs around. Bostin Scoff and ale 👍🏻👍🏻 I grew up in Netherton and Dudley. The town used to be lovely when I was a kid but as like most towns now it’s on its knees.
How can someone that sits in the middle of a town centre getting drunk all day moan about immigrants😂 stop
Moaning about not being able to get a job when you haven’t tried idiots!!
"If you're not British you get fuck all". Well that's bs n we all know it
Great video! You are a good bloke 🙏
Anyone know the song?
grew up in wolves..born in 83..lucky enough to get out of there to Australia in 2010….place is a pup hole lol
The only punk band I know of from SW England was from Wolverhampton: Stench. (Later aka Torcha Shed.)
Dregs of the earth of a complete waste of space of an adopted city. Get a lift out from the tour bus.
Was there around 'Wolves' until mid '90s and it was great and then fracked off to London for work – because it actually had work – then moved out of Blighty completely fifteen years ago because I could see how it was heading….. stamped a work visa and took two suitcases and a used laptop with just three months living money and built deca-million revenue businesses across three countries. Got my kids in great universities and a house in the mountains and on the beach. All of this in countries where the Govt are business friendly and stay out of your way and it all would have been impossible to build in the UK.
The British lifes revolves around alcohol and they still blame foreigners for their miserable lifes
What a legend!!! I’m from Tipton’s AKA the lost city just down from the pie factory. It’s absolutely right what you say the areas ain’t the best but the people in it what makes it. 👌🏻
Is that lad always there in wolves ime gunna go give him clothes and some food and tht for him and his dog ❤ looks a sound lad in a wrong place x
Is it called the black country because of all the non whites that live there?
Very sad 🙁
All this VPN nonsense nowadays is just fear mongering and if you honestly think that an experienced hacker would be kept out of your accounts by a pay monthly cheap-type VPN then you're off your rocker, if they want to get into something of yours then the odds are most likely 99.9% in their favour. I've never had a VPN or anything of the kind. I've never had any troubles because I don't go to any places/websites etc that would lead to me getting into any trouble like that. If you stick to using reputable websites and you're sensible and careful then there's no reason why you would be in any danger of being hacked, and even then the worst case scenario is having your money sucked out of your account/online banking but that's insured/protected and will be guaranteed refunded back to you so even then you'd be ok if you're above board and not doing anything dodgy (that's the only time you'd need to worry tbh is if you've upto something that you shouldn't be doing otherwise you're absolutely fine and you really shouldn't waste your money paying for the VPN nonsense that does absolutely nothing for you)
Seriously if someone tries to take your money off you then you have to do something that shows them and everyone else that you're not going to allow that to happen, and if you don't do something like that then you shouldn't be surprised if people try and take the p!ss out of you because you've allowed it to happen and didn't do anything about it. Its really that simple tbh.
I'm from Dudley. Left when I was 22 and I never plan to move back there. You'd have to commute to Birmingham to find a half decent job. There's been no investment in the town for decades. Large shopping mall nearby have destroyed the high street. That said, the pie factory and Black Country museum are two places to be proud of!
Well done wendall it's changed a a from the year 2000 thanks for sharing 👍
There was a lot of love in this vid. Enjoyed it.
I'm 15mins in and your Northern mate is as fun as AIDS. I have heard they're miserable up north but Jesus man.
I used to see brucie around, that’s not the same dog he had because he gave the old one mamba and the dog had to be put to sleep because it turned on him, be careful what you believe
You will never understand how ignorant and rude the white locals are to immigrants. Immigrants that are far better educated and work. They should be afraid.

dudley and wolvo shitholes nothing to look forward to
I remember when that BOSTIN wall art was the McDonalds front window, mid 90's Dudley had a computer game shop, WHSmith, Beatties department store and lots more, while it wasn't a patch on Wolverhampton or Merry Hill, it was a much better place than it is today. Shadow of its former self.
Bruce has got no control over that dog. It's gone for my dog when we've walked past before. Instead of grabbing its leash he just said "Don't be stupid" to it.
