(no subject)
only in wolverhampton can people be bothered to start a fight (with actual death threats, apparently) with a tabloid newspaper because they published a column ripping on Slade's god-awful christmas rocker written in seventy-something in some scutty little hole around here. They also went fruit loop about the piece in the Idler's new book 'Crap Towns' which is a more-interesting-than-amusing factual slaying of the shittiest places to live in the UK, Wolverhampton being at number 19 in a 50-1 rundown (like the pop charts). "At night the stench of hops from the brewery hangs in the air like a trapped animal decaying in a drainpipe."
But then, for a place who's population seem more apathetic and lazy than most I have encountered so far, what should I expect? For the few that actually made something of their lives and NOT made an effort to drop the accent, they ought to be proud.
