This is a list of all the signs you grew up in Wolverhampton! If you are a true local, you will be able to relate.<\/p>\n
The beautiful crispy, fried goodness that is orange chips will always have a special place in your heart. That\u2019s right technically they\u2019re battered chips but their unique colour is where the name orange chips came from. No matter where you go no other chips will compare to them and you\u2019ll always be left craving them.<\/p>\n
Because we tend to speak in \u201cam\u2019s\u201d we have been nicknamed by many as the Yam Yam\u2019s. With phrases like \u201cYow alright am ya bab?\u201d you can start to understand where the nickname came from.<\/p>\n
Since Liam Payne rose to fame on X Factor and later with One Direction you\u2019ve been telling anyone you meet about how your long-lost cousin or friend of a friend was in his class at school and you totally met him once.<\/p>\n
Whenever you meet someone who\u2019s not from the Midlands you tend to go with the easy option and just say you\u2019re from Birmingham, because no one really knows where Wolverhampton is.<\/p>\n
Even if you hate football you will have a soft spot for the Wolves which was instilled in you by your relatives. You love Steve Bull and know that if you tried to support any other team your family would possibly disown you.\u00a0These are the\u00a0signs you grew up in Wolverhampton!<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right the long-lasting rivalry between Wolves and West Brom means that you automatically hate the baggies. If you bought home a baggies fan your family would definitely have something to say about it.<\/p>\n
The skyline of Bushbury was never quite the same when the Goodyear tower got knocked down, but in its heyday your dad most likely built tyres there and you couldn\u2019t be prouder. Plus, we all know they were the best Wolves kit sponsor.<\/p>\n
This is probably the fact that most people from Wolverhampton are proud of. Okay so technically it\u2019s Birmingham\u2019s canals but still we\u2019re a part of the canal system, and with over 35 miles of canal we beat Venice which only has 26 miles.\u00a0These are the\u00a0signs you grew up in Wolverhampton!<\/p>\n
MOTH (or Man On The Horse) is the famous statue right in the centre of town where all of the emo kids used to hang out. Literally there were tons. Either you were one of the emo kids or you were someone who used the MOTH as a meeting point in town because of its central location.<\/p>\n
Often mocked for our sing-song way of talking and our awful accent, our slang is just as hard to understand. How about \u201cWant a glass of council pop our kid?\u201d or \u201cGiz a gew!\u201d By now you\u2019re used to having to tone down your accent around non-Wolverhampton folk.<\/p>\n
If you were born in Wolverhampton you were probably born at New Cross. The best hospital in the area, far better than the likes of Russell\u2019s Hall and The Manor. It could be considered elite in comparison to the others.<\/p>\n
In 2009, we were voted fifth worst city in the WORLD and ever since we\u2019ve been cropping up on similar lists, including the like of the UK\u2019s most miserable cities. Despite this, us Yam Yam\u2019s are fine, we love our miserable city even if no one else does. These are the\u00a0signs you grew up in Wolverhampton!<\/p>\n
The whole bread roll, barm cake fiasco can be settled right here, right now as you know it\u2019s a cob. You may even go as far as to accept the word bap but anything else is ridiculous. Give us a sausage cob any day of the week.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of strange people roaming the streets of Wolverhampton but by far one of the most popular was the cowboy. You\u2019ve probably been followed by him at some point; rushing away whilst he gallops after you singing. You\u2019ve also probably had to plan your route to avoid him, it\u2019s all good fun though. These are the\u00a0signs you grew up in Wolverhampton!<\/p>\n
Finally, there\u2019s nothing quite like a pint of locally brewed Banks\u2019 after watching the Wolves win on a Saturday. It\u2019s Wolverhampton\u2019s finest and we love it.<\/p>\n
