Whilst on the subject, this may appeal to some of our Black Country members...

Ripped from elsewhere:

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM WOLVERHAMPTON WHEN...

* You say 'You am' instead of 'You are'
* You use the word 'Fucking' when thinking of the next word of your sentence. E.g 'I saw John the other day he was erm... fucking... out with bob down.... fucking... bingo
* You use 'The Man on the Hoss' or McDonalds as the central point of gathering when shopping in town
*You barely batter an eye lid at football violence and you're almost certain to know someone associated with it.
* People from Birmingham are known as 'Brummy Bastard's'
* You have participated in or seen the St Peter's fountain full of bubble bath
* You recognise Wolverhampton as shit for a night on the town but you're guaranteed to be up there on a Saturday

* Major's chip shop, Bilston is the best chips in the world
* You only go to Walsall for something to do on a Sunday morning
* You know Heath Town needs blowing up
* You wonder what happened to the black guy who preached every Saturday in the city centre
* Depending on what story you believe 'The Tramp on the ring-road' is a Polish refugee that has cable paid for him and doesn't have to pay council tax.
* Talking about psychos you've had a pointless conversation with 'The Cowboy man'.
* You've been asked once by some twat at the bus stop for money because his Mrs kicked him out and he has no money
* You know that if it wasn't for the cheap Kebab shops, Broad street would be pointless.
* You know the price of 'Lazzeez's' kebabs and pizzas
* You know that Tettenhall is full of posh tarts that only go clubbing in Wolverhampton to shag someone who owns a tracksuit...
* You automatically sing 'Wolverhampton' when 'Hi-Ho silver lining is played at a disco'
* We were brought up to hate anything from West Bromwich
* You know that catching the train to Birmingham is better than the Metro as it don't break down half as much.
* You recognise that Primark is chav central but bloody great for hoodys
* You know that our train station is planning disaster from the 70's
* We say we're Black Country but we're not, we're part of it, but we're not in it!
* We only use Telford for Ice skating
* Despite being a city, we still get shocked if get mentioned on the news or a tv programme.
* You know that Whitmore Reans is 'drive by' central
* You know that if you want a hooker spend 5 minutes in All-saints and you'll get one
* You know that people from Walsall hate us.. but no-one gives a shit about Walsall.
* You know the Civic Centre is for pensioners, skaters and immigrants.
* You're not happy that Iraqis are in our city but £3 for a wash and dry on your car it could be Osama Bin Laden washing it for that price
* Asda is a war zone on the weekend for middle ages moms with trolleys
* You remember where you were when Mark Kennedy scored the first goal when the Wolves got promoted
* St Peters church is the place to sunbathe when its sunny
* You believe the Express and Star no matter what shit they write.
* You know that Cineworld is cheapest on Tuesdays
* Everyone was born at New Cross.. well almost everyone
* You know that if you're lost outside Wolverhampton just look for the Blue neon lights on top of Mander House to find your way home.
* Every taxi driver is friendly but an utter twat
* When was the last time you heard someone say 'Im moving to Ettingshall'?
* You know that Weatherspoons is full of Dole dossers
* You know that Blackpool could quite easily be 'Wolverhampton-on-sea'
* Who remembers when Goodyear's was a factory and not a restaurant
* You've been to the Imperial at least once
* Chavs hate trendies, trendies hate gangster rappers, gangster rappers hate emo, and emo's hate everyone but guaranteed you have friends from at least one of those groups.
* We have the worst Christmas lights in the world
* We hate to admit it but we would love to nick Birmingham's big screen from Centenary Sq.
