Ah Wolverhampton. Good old wolves. The city – yes it is actually a city – that is filled with more chicken shops than East London and where getting shouted abuse at is the way of saying \u201cello how you doing?\u201d\u00a0We have Liam Payne, a pretty solid football team and not to mention we had the first ever dessert shop; waaay before fluffy waffles drizzled in Nutella and M&M\u2019s were the most popular pics on Instagram.<\/p>\n
With that being said here are 10 things only people from Wolverhampton will understand!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As soon as the Wolverhampton born singer debuted on X-factor, eventually joining record breaking boy band One Direction, us wolves lot have always been adamant we\u2019re pally with the baby face star himself. I mean, my friends, sisters, boyfriends, cousin went to school with him so hello! Me and him are practically best friends!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An iconic nightclub was once located in the heart of Wolverhampton. It was a club where many 00\u2019s kids were more than likely conceived in and where under 16\u2019s could actually go have a dance and get white girl wasted on Pepsi Max, ah the good old days.<\/p>\n I personally don\u2019t pay that much attention to the whole cob v.s roll v.s bap debate, there are much more important things going in the world than deciding the name of a bread (lol) however it\u2019s a debate that I\u2019ve been subjected to all throughout the four years since I left Wolverhampton for university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Us wolves lot are renowned for our deemed-by-many, diabolical accent. There have been literal instances where some people couldn\u2019t understand me, as if I was some extraterrestrial that had just hopped out my spaceship. I\u2019ve learn to not take offence anymore and whenever people criticise the black county accent I just whip it out to piss them off, cause why not?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As soon as anybody gets a whiff of our Black Country accent they immediately presume we\u2019re brummies. No sorry hun, that\u2019s about a 20 minute train ride away x<\/p>\n Where do you go when the clubs about to shut and it\u2019s too early to get a taxi back home? One word: Gorgeous! Upon arriving in the club which is a gay bar, you\u2019ll find a pretty much 70\/30 straight\/gay ratio alongside stripper poles and 2-4-1 offers on shots. I mean stripper poles and shots, what\u2019s better than that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Honestly Bentley Bridge Retail Park has literally EVERYTHING you could ask for. Food? Check! Cinema? Check! Bowling? Check! Shopping? Check! As a teenager if you didn\u2019t celebrate your birthday at COSMOS, the all you can eat buffet, were you even cool though?<\/p>\n This guy – the legend that he is – is more than likely roaming around Wolverhampton streets armed with his guitar singing along to anything from Bob Marley to One Direction. You\u2019ll immediately recognise him if you saw him.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n For some Wolverhampton residents orange chips are their holy grail. I\u2019m personally not a fan but the battered chips, drizzled in salt and pepper are a definite delicacy dish for the Wolves lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This park was THE spot for linking up. For many wolves residents it may have been where they had their first kiss, where they downed a bottle of Glens Vodka or even a place where they spent their summers at.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re from Wolverhampton than you\u2019ll definitely know about the MOTH (Man On The Horse) – it was THE spot to meet friends, link up with a guy or even to just sit there on your lunch break.<\/p>\n Ah Wolverhampton.
