According to the results of a survey

Low incomes

Dreary landscapes

Miserable people

I went into the train station once. I was being picked up by friends and I was expressly forbidden from walking past the coffee shop alone. Didn't inspire confidence

Sounds about right! I was there for four days on a training course and went wandering one night, the walking dead could've saved themselves a fortune in set dressing by basing it in wolves centre

Wolverhampton is my home city! I remember when Wolverhampton was thriving, used to have a great night life and business was booming, now it's like a ghost town. Most people in it look like contenders to go on the Jeremy Kyle show these days

no matter what though always feels good to see the "welcome to Wolverhampton" road signs (think there's a few that survived the tat man) these days I avoid Wolverhampton because I can't stand to see it in its current state, although I think there is far worse out there

When our Queen Elizabeth 11 came on to the throne 1953, and during her reign She will have seen all these changes in How society has changed, from her wearing her head scarf and woollen coat, to now more exquisite dress ware, she Has toured this country from top to bottom and around the world to, she is Not only how longest serveing monarch, she has probabily witnessed more change To than any other monarch I wonder what her take on it all is and what she has witnessed in a lifetime, I,m sure that would make a best seller, I wonder if she has one Planed or underwraps she might be signing autographs next..

with William giveing the books out, yes these are new times its just another cycle in the history of britain change Will create change and so on.

Unfortunately Ive lived in Wolves for the last 18 years and yes its very drab. Its just got worse as the years have gone by. As for the other people that live here I can understand them being down too as lots of large businesses have shut and they find it hard to find other employment. Money seems to be spent on catering for Students needs lately. Shopping wise the centre is full of cheap shops and charity shops. Personally I don't even shop there unless I need something desperately. Prefer to head for Telford or even further afield for a day out.

If it has just kebab shops charity shops and bookies maybe you could twin it with Sunderland who have won the award numerous times and just edging out Middlesboro

I used to go clubbing in wolves in the late 90's and early 00's. Was always a great night out but I've not been for a few years so no idea what it's like for a night out there now?

Remember also a few years ago one of these surveys said Dudley people were the happiest people in the country and it's not far from Wolverhampton.

nothing wrong with Wolves, nice compact colourful characterful little city. Great twn centre, some belting clubs/bars/restaurants and some of best concert halls outside London, infinitely preferable to Birmingham. I speak as a Londoner who relocated to Shropshire and hence use Wolves for gigs/theatre a lot. I believe they also have a well attended football club, but not my cuppa frankly

Gent living in wolves here. I find it funny that Wolverhampton gets such a bad rep.

Yeah, it's surely not a great place, but there's plenty of far worse places you could be.

I find it amusing that people actually believe all the tabloid shit - Daily Fail FFS! lol.
