It's like Hanley is waiting for someone to wave a magic wand to bring it out of the stone age. I always remember when longton Market got modernised, it lost something, the dirtiness made it feel like home somehow, and now it's just a hollow shell of a place. Hanley should improve beyond all recognition in the next five years..............IF the funding for the proposed projects remains in place.

I too have suffered the misfortune of spending some time working in the Black Country. Pensnett and Brierley Hill, to be precise.
If we're honest about it, it's physically no more of a shithole than much of Stoke. What differentiates the two areas is the people; Stokies have their faults, of course, but is there on God's green earth a more dour bunch than the Yam Yams?
Miserable feckers, the lot of 'em!

Wolverhampton is a hovel as you describe but to its credit it does have an awesomely massive Forbidden Planet store and the Gifford Arms is a fucking awesome pre gig pub.
Aside from that, it is shit.
