I see Bob (the man with the crutches) sitting outside my local Aldi all the time!! And although I always say hi to him, I am utterly ashamed to say that I never actually thought he was really homeless... I see his sticks and I'd think that 'the system' wouldn't allow that to happen to a man in his position!! Now I see how incredibly naiive I've been!! (And I'm originally from Glasgow so I should know better)!!! Next time I see him, I'll stop and talk to him, ask him if there is anything he needs... I've got an immediate family member who struggles with addiction, so I won't give him money, but baccy, a couple of can, a hot drink etc, I can do!! Thank you for opening my eyes to a world that I had allowed myself to become blind to.
Fair do's, I've always been guilty of walking past in those kind of situations but this has opened my eyes . Next time I'm shopping in Rhyl I'll keep my eyes and heart open and offer some food/drink and encouragement . As a pensioner I don't have much but someone aught to care.
Brilliant video, breaks my heart to see Rhyl in that state. I used to holiday there for many years. So sad to see people on the streets and struggling with their problems and don't seem to be getting much help. Thank you for being kind to them x
Thank God my childhood trauma and being homeless at 16, and prison till 21 gave me a massive kick up the arse. 38 now married, 2 children, business, 40 employees, 3rd home owner, no mortage, I've been fortunate enough to make the right choices and better myself and in the position to start making a difference for others 🙏
I worked in Rhyl, well Ffrith beach to be accurate in Prestatyn back in the summer of 95. Cliche I know. But I had the best time, was 24 and we stayed in a B&b in Rhyl for £12.50 a night. I got a £25 allowance in those days! So the rest I pocketed. Weather was amazing all summer and I had the best time of my life up till then. I met my boys mother and bought a house a little way away! I still go back even though my boys are adults now. It is really sad to see how Rhyl, along with most of the uk seaside towns have deteriorated. It’s got social problems I know, not helped by councils sending their difficult/undesirables to the town over a long period. But will always hold a place in my heart. Good piece Boss.
That’s what happened to Morecambe back in the 80s, there was little to no heroin back then. Hoteliers, ones who ran bed and breakfast and multi occupancy houses actually went round places like Manchester and Liverpool in minibuses picking up homeless people and “ne’er do wells” because they could charge the council ridiculous rent, it was a gold mine to them because before that, the bed and breakfast places would be empty in the Winter. With these people, came all the issues and today, there is a massive, massive class A drug problem in Morecambe and Lancaster.☹️
@@Mat-kr1nf I didn’t know that but thinking now it made perfect sense for unscrupulous landlords. The west end of Rhyl had huge multistory Victorian houses. Now they are all bedsits for the ones that can’t and don’t wish to work. Are has plummeted.
Fair play to you Billy. Stumbled upon your channel and find it so humbling that you have the decency and empathy to interact with the people who some other 'tubers' ridicule the less fortunate than themselves. Addicition is addiction regardless if it is drugs, alcohol or gambling. Sometimes all people need is a ear to listen. Keep up the good work Billy. COYB
Lived in a town up the road for 20+ years and when people spout crap about imported problems from abroad I just laugh. 99.9% of every bit of crime, anti social ferkwittery and just downright scumbag behaviour I have experienced/witnessed has been imported from Manchester and Liverpool. Violent criminals and wrong uns (yes them) released from prison directly into our community. They get shoved over here and the landlords, (and local council) get paid a premium by the powers that be for renting to them. The town has become a revolving door dormitory for other areas problems. It is shameful.
@@David-nm4yc Rhyl and Wrexham is where scousers wanted go to hide out I’ve know some serious heads done crazy things like shooting a gaff up with a Norinco or being out when 2 million quids worth of narco got seized by the bizzys so they hid out in borras park or some camp site in towyn . Then you get off to Spain from canarvfon airport and see yz later 👋
that is due to when the landlords could charge the council for bedsits they advertised in the cities before the council clamped down on bedsits.. but by then the damage was done.. and rhyl has never been the same since sadly..
Like most of our seaside towns because all the cities have dumped their problems into them because the seaside towns have loads of single people accommodation as in B&Bs. Now these poor sods have zero support and basically left to rot.
Are these people in touch with their local community mental health teams??? GET TO HAFOD! Rhyl isn't the worst place in North Wales, Wales, UK or even the world. Yes it has problems like all towns, the Government need to address these issues, not DCC.
Grown up and lived in Rhyl all my life, I've seen it when it was the best, would have been good to meet you and show you around and describe all the great things we've lost, good stuff as always Billy

@@stopyulin3226 hi, as far as I know there aren't any guest houses on Brighton Road, in fact there's very few guest houses in Rhyl now, they've all been turned into HMO's
Giving a shout to Adam’s rotten rooms . A British TH-camr . Got glassed in the face in London the weekend just helping someone . Be careful billy and anyone out there .
Yes, at the end of his video it was so distressing watching him relate what happened to him that evening. Hope Adam soon gets better and puts the actions of that deranged nutter behind him.
Hi mate, Adam here. Very nice of you pal. My face is a mess & I'm a bit shuck up but I'll be back bigger & stronger. Thanks again for the lovely shout out mate 👍👌🏻💙
this 23 year old sounds spot on, you rarely hear such wise words from such a young age, good luck guys, were all in this together, and these shares are so helpful. thankyou.
People help each other out there.. he's not taking advantage of her in any way whatsoever... she's his friend and helps him... He would do the same.. I'm sure
Another good one billy it's good to see som people do get a chance to get off the streets but there's so many others that don't get a chance an it's sad to see after all ther people an most of them wud help u wen they can Thanx billy keep up the good work xx ❤❤
Aww! Lovely to witness the strong bond between friends. I don’t know if anyone else has flash backs like I do, but these videos give me memories of my friends that had my back way back when, as well as reminding me of the strength it took for me to survive the streets, the journey was insane. I did find that the ones that had the least could give the most away cigs, food, and their time to listen with encouragement. I also think it’s important to look at the full spectrum of the culture, because they are also some nasty ppl out there who do hurt others not because of a drug addiction or trauma, but because they are sadistic and enjoy causing pain to the most vulnerable in society. They thrive in dysfunction so the environment is ideal for them. And this should never be over looked. 😢 ❤️ Thanks for sharing what’s going on in our country. I think some of us are to scare to go to these dark rough places alone especially at night, you have saved us travel fees going to investigates for us all 😊 keep up the good work 👍
I’m successful and relatively well off. I know that one poor decision I could lose everything. Treat everyone the way you expect to be treated, helping someone not as fortunate as yourself is so much more fulfilling than earning money.
Same was homeless at 16, in prison till 21. Had a massive wakeup call now I'm 38 married with 2 children, business owner with 40 employees, no mortgage. It literally is life choices and we can all change.
It’s criminal how the local councils have let our once bustling seaside towns turn into what most are today.. when i was growing up in the 80,s rhyl was just as busy as the more popular towns…
Trauma , mental illness .. is thw plan the government want these tent , drug addiction cities 😢i deeamt this long time oooo my heart is aching. Thank you for being kind .. TRAUMA
I lived in North Wales for 20yrs I loved Rhyl always bought a homeless person something to eat and if that'sy had a dog 🐶 I got the dog something, I'd been in rehab twice but been without drink drugs for 14yrs I've just lost my beloved dog and it triggered me but I've resited, I'm with all you guys I've walked in your shoes your like anyone else on this planet, it just takes something to send you over the top, god bless 🙏💙❤️
Thanks Billy 👌💯, holidays in Rhyl and prestatyn, last time I was there about thirty years ago, me and my mate travelled round the North West and Yorkshire, strimming, or wiring the slotties, and my share went up in smoke. Another banger 💥, absolutely love these out and abouts, always bringing back memories, some lost ppl on this vid Billy, and the £2 touch was a class act, loved that mate 👌💯.
I was really moved by these two , such a sad situation , iv been away from the UK for twenty years , I didn’t expect to see so many British people in such a bad way , not just in Rhyl , but everywhere . What has happened ! Successive governments should be ashamed of themselves . Keep up this reporting Bill , someone needs to ! Respect to you .
Billy just want to say u are the man hope u go to Manchester again and get rid of the veitch he just puts down people all the time calling them crack heads everyone has some problems in life and u know what u are taking about been there done that u have respect for them people well done billy love the videos up Liverpool 👍👍
Bob 13 mins. I suffer permanent pain and i live indoors with plenty of heat. Bless you, i couldn't imagine being in pain and having to live in the cold, streets or hostels. My heart goes out to you ❤❤❤❤. Thanks Billy xxx
Billy i found my good friend dead in my living room after he had fell, if i thought i was in hell by god did the real gates of hell open and i found myself in a worse hell and deeper into my addiction and really wanted to leave my flat and felt like i was in a fishbowl everyone poonting, everyone talking, but i found the doors of recovery and I turned my wee flat into my wee sanctuary, i live with the love of my life in our own house, it really is that life beyond my wildest dreams that was promised in the rooms of recovery IF I WAS WILLING TO PUT THE WORK IN, I WANT THIS NEW LIFE BILLY, I REALLY REALLY HOPE that lad can turn HIS wee flat into HIS WEE SANCTUARY and gets HIS LIFE BACK AND MORE.....THER GO I BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD 🙏 ODAAT 🙏 PROUD OF YOU BIGMAN KEEPING IT REAL AND PASSING THE MESSAGE ON 🙏
Its beyond hard hitting, I found me mate/neighbour dead n he was a bad way, I'll never forget that day, n it was the only dead body I'd seen n I was 38.. I'm like the last lad, sat in a room full of photos of memories and trauma, but it is my lil sanctuary just needs some straightening up, bit like me! glad you found yourself in the rooms, different solutions for different people but glad you made it.
@SleepingLionUK your spot on m8 by saying beyond hard hitting, it smashes you into bits but we need to pick those bits up n put them together like the Japanese do when they break a bit of pottery n put it together with gold so they/we become true one offs, ah hope you find your peace m8 just take things as they come n always look for the best in everyone n everything 🙏
@@danielhughes3816 yup, shutting someone's eyes for the last time was terrible and deep (something I recently had to do for second time in my life but thus time , with my old girl dog..💔) bless you and same to you too, I'm shattered but I'll make myself into a lovely vase one day, piece by piece.
I’m a relatively new subscriber to your channel m8, came across this by accident…I honestly think it’s the best thing I watch on TH-cam now…I hear you mention other things you’ve done and was wondering if there’s anything else on TH-cam that I can see that you are in ? Love how you can fully understand and appreciate what people are going through and it gives me a small insight into the other side of the coin..never change m8
I have commented on a few of your videos now Billy and I don't know if you or anybody else even reads these comments but please, Please keep doing what you have been doing. Showing the REAL stories of people's lives who are fighting to survive ever day! Keep up the great work that you do Billy!
Lived in rhyl 31 years and watched the down slide downhill my entire life. Homeless people multiply by the year, there's nothing for kids and youths to do so they turn to drugs and alcohol and crime. It's sad really P.s I know Brad, he's a good kid! Such a shame what he's going through but he's a genuinely nice lad
I think what I really appreciate about your videos is that it's real and not dramatised like these bloody auditors winding people up to gain views. I know what I'd rather watch, real educational real life and how it is. Keep up the good content Billy 👍🏻
I find youre docus very interesting,no soft soap just the raw truth,the worlds went crazy!I live in a small town near stirling and the drugs have taken over everywhere,I’ve never saw so many poor souls all on each of youre videos,trauma everywhere.Anyway thanks for keeping it real,only then can we do something about changing things for the better.Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland 🏴
I can't help but notice how many people are calling out the " drug/drink addicts" on here , its like that nice young man that was with his friend with the pink hair , two people looking out for eachother in a cruel situation, just like he was saying looked down on by society and jumped up youths clothed and bankrolled by their parents in over expensive clothing without a clue about real life , these boys wouldn't last five minutes put in any of yours situations! You all have some good friends . Its a disgrace that older guy on the crutches is that situation to when people arrive in this country illegally and get hotels and housing ! .I felt bad for that lovely lad at the end he seems a genuine person with a good heart I hope they are all doing well . Thank you for showing some thing real , i get tired of seeing all the set up BS on here . Great job ❤
Lived in Rhyl for years and love it, it's not as bad as it seems to be honest, Every town city as its bad points. Wish i knew you was in Rhyl Billy would have brought you a coffee.
I've lived in rhyl all my life too and am getting fed up of all the bad press now. I watched this video and thought it was good but yet again, another video making out that the while of rhyl is a shit hole and not 1 local person was featured in it.
Infiltrated by the people the big cities don’t want. All the nice properties converted into houses of multiple occupants. Few have skills, few of them work, few contribute anything positive to the local community. Once a town turns to that then there’s no coming back.
They pumped a load of homeless and people with drug/mental problems from the North West English cities into Rhyl when the UK Sea-Side Holidays started to decline and they just filled all the struggling B&B/Small Hotels with them and the rest is history, same with Colwyn Bay.
On the flipside the goverment in the 80s thacther did social enginnering Closed down trades like the mines Sold the housing stock Moved people from all cities due to overflow in major cities (liverpool surrounding areas like st helens runcorn widnes n wales and further afield) So maggies plan worked 40 years on Feeling the aftermath
@@doOf3rjust like the struggling after COVID hotel owners were all to ready to sell to or contract to the government for the new influx of community ruin , at least these people are our own who have experienced damage mostly or been let down in some ways we need to look after our own before we start to look after the rest of the world.
Lump in my throat watching the characters in Rhyl, Next time I go in the van will hand out some food and chocolates :-( can relate to the last guy losing his missus like i did. thanks Billy.
So very sad to see, im 54 and some of my best childhood memories were of our once yearly holiday to Rhyl. My parents saved all year round to take us to Robin Hood caravan site. "It is still there to this day'. Back in the 70's it was Rhyl vs Blackpool. Blackpool was for the upper class. We did go to the annual 'Blackpool illuminations' which was cars driving from 1 end of Blackpool to the othher bumper to bumper in cars. We had a pack of sweets to share in the car whilst admiring the lights. What a dump it is now. These days the battle is not of the well off but 'battle of the dumps' so sad. 😢
I am the same age as you, I used to go to Robin Hood caravan site with my auntie uncle and nephews for my holiday every summer late 70 s into early 80 s. I love that site. I remember watching the 78 world cup final on a big screen in a hall loads of kids and adults watching it. Had some great times and memories there, I think Rhyl was just along the road. 😃👍
Billy what did he mean , he needs to drink because of his liver , and he is right it is always the people struggling or who has been through the struggle who are the most empathic and helpful , i wouldnt of looked at that lad and known he was a alcoholic, i thought it was going to be her son talking about his mothers struggle , god bless them both 2 troubled souls but compassionate and tough
Love the lights outside the Imperial Hostel, great way to promote a hostel. Brad you speak so much with truth and passion, your words are so right in how people look at you, and perceive the way you are, keep going and shaz keep going hun, dont ever give up.Why the hell is Bob on the streets with disability's like this?. The guy who lost his partner made me cry, to find someone yu have been with like that must of been so traumatic. ❤Why oh why is this country not doing more, instead of keeping others in luxury who shouldn't be here !!😢😢😢.
Get the guy saying he doesn't understand how some people help but they give up cos it's a stress but when you're dealing with people in addiction, they have to be willing to help themselves. If you're putting more effort into helping them than they are helping themselves then they don't want it enough and you're just being pulled down with them.
You can't help until there already climbing and helping themselves. Until they loose that mentality that no one cares because no one does and thats a hard truth we all learn and learn not to look outside of areselves for help. People who are in addiction offer gestures of help to each other because they crave the compassion back. They are hurt people needing love and once they give it to themselves and flip that mentality from looking for it. They can get out of the life. It's all up to them,we all live a hard life,it either crushes you or hardens you up. You decide and people can't be around drowning people who don't get that because they'll use you as a life ring instead of swimming with you. There's no one coming to rescue us so swim and rescue yourself 👊
Such a shame to see my home town like this… I left the UK in 2018 and moved to Canada but my mum still lives on the outskirts of Rhyl I have so many fond memories of the town and there are some great people in Rhyl.
Yes Billy lad.... RHYL WAS A GET AWAY N HOLIDAY PLACE FOR YRS... But yes like many places it's been left to rot... The beach is terrible n the sea of them huge wind machines make it look grim... However like the good n real folk you chatted too today there's some good people there that have had serious problems and carrying a lot of trauma... I had 6 mths of trauma therapy n it helped me a great deal that's the gospel truth... I'd never judge as I've been there and made a lot of bad choices but yes it's gotta come from within if you wanna change your life for the better.... SAD to see to be honest but yeah it's a hard road for many 💯💯
Never heard of a Star Bar. Must get one and try 😊. Rhyl is unreal. Lots of deprivation and sadness. Thanks for sharing Billy, you really are keeping it real!!! It’s important to show how shit some peoples lives are. YOU LOT in PARLIAMENT sort it out, these people deserve more!!!
Ive lived in Rhyl for 30 years now. Ive never had a problem here. Some parts of Rhyl are really nice and the seafront and beach are lovely. There are people struggling with trauma, mental health and addiction in every town, city across the country. You mentioned violence at the end there. I am originally from Liverpool and I have friends with young families who are desperate to get out of Liverpool because of the violence and gangs and drugs. They love it down here and wish they could move here!
Thank you for taking the time to visit all these different places & also for having the heart to listen & understand people's stories & their struggles. It's more than can be said for many prominent TH-camrs who seem to think it's OK to go around judging people based on how they look & resorting to calling them 'Crackies' & the like. These sorry excuses for humanity do not deserve the platform or subscribers they've got & I hope & pray karma will serve them up everything they deserve one day. You are truly an amazing guy & I hope you will continue with the great work you're doing every single day, Well Done Billy 👏🏻 ❤
Sorry but thats a total cop out,if some1's ur friend u should be there to support them as much as u can,otherwise ur not really a friend are u?? Far 2 many fake friends who think there better than people they've known there whole life just cause there addicted or have mental health issues and just look down there nose.at them which achieves nothing! But u carry in with ur perfect life....
Not joking here Billy.. You should have your own programme so the country could see what's going on. The content is hard hitting and should be seen by the whole country..
Lived in Rhyl my whole life, good and bad to every town. If you only show the negative side & from one perspective then it looks bad. Our beaches are full in the summer, everyone having a good time from the cities and local towns. Would have been nice to see a more well-rounded perspective of the town (not just the town centre) and its people, not just those struggling.
Blessings Billy. Breaking these facts are ? What's the answer , is it more compassion in the people in the profession or the real people like yourself and others who know the score .
Another great video Billy, Ryhl was up there few weeks ago, it's not a great place anymore, it's full of fuckin sorrow, there is a lot of homeless, really felt for the old fella, something needs to be done to help him, he's to old and ill to be in that position. Keep up the great work Billy and stay safe on them streets.
Wow that was depressing af I feel very lucky in my life as I’ve been in terrible situations similar to of those featured! But yea this was an 8am depression episode! I’m going to head to the beach today and thank my lucky stars!
Very true words, but I do believe it’s down to that individual themselves to get the help. (Inner strength) My brother died of alcoholism we suffered as a family for 5 years maybe longer to get him the help and he always went back to alcohol 😔 yet we still blame ourselves I actually don’t think we could of done anymore of what we did for him. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing someone with addiction get the help and stay on the right tracks, sheerly because it didn’t happen for us.
Used to love the fair and Rhyl sun-centre as a kid on a few school trips great memories. Not just Rhyl but everywhere seems to have gone down hill it’s sad to see.
Used to come to Rhyl from the late 80s to early 2000s on holiday every year and with rose tinted glasses I moved up here in 2009 and have been here since. What was once a great seaside town is now just barber shops, phone repair shops, charity shops and police sirens going off daily. The sea front looks good, the harbour and retail park with the lake is great but the main town is run down, depressing and almost dead with a number of empty shops. I live near the Lorn pub and almost weekly the alcohol and arguing can be heard ringing down the street. Once I get that job offer in Llandudno I'm seeking I'll be gone from this dive lol. It's a shame what happened to it.
Most high streets have few shops nowadays wherever you go. They call it 'The Death of the High Street'. Online shopping has done a great deal of harm. With respect, if you live on the high street then you will get a lot of noise as it's simply not meant to be a residential area. I can assure you that there are plenty of streets in Rhyl which are quiet, suburban and look middle class. You don't need to go to Llandudo for that.
Well done Billy, you're a really good man mate. Thanks for showing us the very bad, and sad side of life. Out there in the pissing rain, stay safe Bill. God bless you. Ian.
Star bars like a boost lad. Just watched your film proper mental. I remember you down the South West, we was in the same area. You done well for yourself, crazy story that it is you done what you needed to do. Big up.
I was there in July, so so sad to see Rhyl in such a bad way ,been going to Wales from a kid ,this was so sad to see ,a once happy seaside town like this xxx 😢😢
I'm surprised you didn't get yourself over to Northwich when you were near mine in winsford last week. It's the worst place now hardly anyone left of us in winsford who are active in drug addiction still where's Northwich has gone bad. Take care and be safe out there mate 👍
great vid bill real and true stories of peoples struggles in life with addictions and homelessness have so many good memories of wales going on holidays there
So many of us take having a roof over our heads,and bills payed and food in the house.great video billy and showing the reality of how some people are coping without nothing.God bless you all 🙏
sad, really sad!...rhyl is so poor ...its so poor and rundown, that i heard the good people of Ethiopia, recently held a "live aid" style fundraising concert for the town!!
You need to see the other parts of rhyl mate it's gets alot worse I was born and raise here and its gone really shitty over the last 8 years or so the locals are all moving slowly cause how bad it's got there is a tent town on cob some people can't grt the help they need
Such a shame to see what Rhyl has become. Ive got so many fond memories of it as a kid. Its a shame the council have spent thousands on the front coast to make it look nice. But they have done nothing for the people that live there 😢

Everyone's issues in Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester gravitas to Rhyl. Like or not, thats the truth. Their social problems follow them.

@@stopyulin3226 hi, as far as I know there aren't any guest houses on Brighton Road, in fact there's very few guest houses in Rhyl now, they've all been turned into HMO's
Giving a shout to Adam’s rotten rooms . A British TH-camr . Got glassed in the face in London the weekend just helping someone . Be careful billy and anyone out there .
Yes, at the end of his video it was so distressing watching him relate what happened to him that evening. Hope Adam soon gets better and puts the actions of that deranged nutter behind him.
No way, I like his videos on blackpool hooe hes ok
Hi mate, Adam here. Very nice of you pal. My face is a mess & I'm a bit shuck up but I'll be back bigger & stronger. Thanks again for the lovely shout out mate 👍👌🏻💙
@@AdamsRottenRooms your most welcome
My friend . So hope you feel better soon 😊👍🏻
Don't worry mate Billy would kick there arses if someone tried that 💯💪
this 23 year old sounds spot on, you rarely hear such wise words from such a young age, good luck guys, were all in this together, and these shares are so helpful. thankyou.
How’s he clearly taking advantage of?
People help each other out there.. he's not taking advantage of her in any way whatsoever... she's his friend and helps him... He would do the same.. I'm sure
@@jimid9240if she didn't want him there, she wouldn't let him in, she sounds like a lovely caring girl, and just loves helping ppl.
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 billy I don't understand, I never meant to say anyones taking advantage of anyone.
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 just got on it billy. your reply wasn't meant for me, thank god, cause I enjoy watching your Chanel
Remember the days when Rhyl was booming and a lovely place to visit sad.
Rhyl used to be a great holiday resort when I was a little kid. Like a lot of towns these days it is now a right shithole
It shouldn't be though. You've got conwy and llandudno nearby. They aren't shitholes
Rhyl sun centre from my youth in the 70s was brilliant
@@adamblackburnblacky6493Bangor ain’t that good though.
Another good one billy it's good to see som people do get a chance to get off the streets but there's so many others that don't get a chance an it's sad to see after all ther people an most of them wud help u wen they can Thanx billy keep up the good work xx ❤❤
Aww! Lovely to witness the strong bond between friends.
I don’t know if anyone else has flash backs like I do, but these videos give me memories of my friends that had my back way back when, as well as reminding me of the strength it took for me to survive the streets, the journey was insane.
I did find that the ones that had the least could give the most away cigs, food, and their time to listen with encouragement.
I also think it’s important to look at the full spectrum of the culture, because they are also some nasty ppl out there who do hurt others not because of a drug addiction or trauma, but because they are sadistic and enjoy causing pain to the most vulnerable in society. They thrive in dysfunction so the environment is ideal for them. And this should never be over looked. 😢 ❤️
Thanks for sharing what’s going on in our country. I think some of us are to scare to go to these dark rough places alone especially at night, you have saved us travel fees going to investigates for us all 😊
keep up the good work 👍
I’m successful and relatively well off. I know that one poor decision I could lose everything. Treat everyone the way you expect to be treated, helping someone not as fortunate as yourself is so much more fulfilling than earning money.
Same was homeless at 16, in prison till 21. Had a massive wakeup call now I'm 38 married with 2 children, business owner with 40 employees, no mortgage. It literally is life choices and we can all change.
Lived in and around rhyl all my life and it's so grim to see it now compared to what it was. Watched all your episodes on rhyl. Cheers
Thanks Billy and thanks to the people who shared a bit of their life i hope they all get sorted and have a better life x 🙏
It’s criminal how the local councils have let our once bustling seaside towns turn into what most are today.. when i was growing up in the 80,s rhyl was just as busy as the more popular towns…
Cheap popular holidays abroad killed the North Wales coastal resorts.
Trauma , mental illness .. is thw plan the government want these tent , drug addiction cities 😢i deeamt this long time oooo my heart is aching. Thank you for being kind .. TRAUMA
I lived in North Wales for 20yrs I loved Rhyl always bought a homeless person something to eat and if that'sy had a dog 🐶 I got the dog something, I'd been in rehab twice but been without drink drugs for 14yrs I've just lost my beloved dog and it triggered me but I've resited, I'm with all you guys I've walked in your shoes your like anyone else on this planet, it just takes something to send you over the top, god bless 🙏💙❤️
Thanks Billy 👌💯, holidays in Rhyl and prestatyn, last time I was there about thirty years ago, me and my mate travelled round the North West and Yorkshire, strimming, or wiring the slotties, and my share went up in smoke. Another banger 💥, absolutely love these out and abouts, always bringing back memories, some lost ppl on this vid Billy, and the £2 touch was a class act, loved that mate 👌💯.
I was really moved by these two , such a sad situation , iv been away from the UK for twenty years , I didn’t expect to see so many British people in such a bad way , not just in Rhyl , but everywhere . What has happened ! Successive governments should be ashamed of themselves . Keep up this reporting Bill , someone needs to ! Respect to you .
Billy just want to say u are the man hope u go to Manchester again and get rid of the veitch he just puts down people all the time calling them crack heads everyone has some problems in life and u know what u are taking about been there done that u have respect for them people well done billy love the videos up Liverpool 👍👍
The £2 coin was a lovely touch, keep doing what your doing pal, sure the people in the videos appreciate what your doing!
Bob 13 mins. I suffer permanent pain and i live indoors with plenty of heat. Bless you, i couldn't imagine being in pain and having to live in the cold, streets or hostels. My heart goes out to you ❤❤❤❤. Thanks Billy xxx
Billy i found my good friend dead in my living room after he had fell, if i thought i was in hell by god did the real gates of hell open and i found myself in a worse hell and deeper into my addiction and really wanted to leave my flat and felt like i was in a fishbowl everyone poonting, everyone talking, but i found the doors of recovery and I turned my wee flat into my wee sanctuary, i live with the love of my life in our own house, it really is that life beyond my wildest dreams that was promised in the rooms of recovery IF I WAS WILLING TO PUT THE WORK IN, I WANT THIS NEW LIFE BILLY, I REALLY REALLY HOPE that lad can turn HIS wee flat into HIS WEE SANCTUARY and gets HIS LIFE BACK AND MORE.....THER GO I BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD 🙏 ODAAT 🙏 PROUD OF YOU BIGMAN KEEPING IT REAL AND PASSING THE MESSAGE ON 🙏
Its beyond hard hitting, I found me mate/neighbour dead n he was a bad way, I'll never forget that day, n it was the only dead body I'd seen n I was 38.. I'm like the last lad, sat in a room full of photos of memories and trauma, but it is my lil sanctuary just needs some straightening up, bit like me! glad you found yourself in the rooms, different solutions for different people but glad you made it.
@SleepingLionUK your spot on m8 by saying beyond hard hitting, it smashes you into bits but we need to pick those bits up n put them together like the Japanese do when they break a bit of pottery n put it together with gold so they/we become true one offs, ah hope you find your peace m8 just take things as they come n always look for the best in everyone n everything 🙏
@@danielhughes3816 yup, shutting someone's eyes for the last time was terrible and deep (something I recently had to do for second time in my life but thus time , with my old girl dog..💔) bless you and same to you too, I'm shattered but I'll make myself into a lovely vase one day, piece by piece.
Childhood trauma is the gateway drug.
Since when have people asked for childhood trauma? Fuck you and your comment
I’m a relatively new subscriber to your channel m8, came across this by accident…I honestly think it’s the best thing I watch on TH-cam now…I hear you mention other things you’ve done and was wondering if there’s anything else on TH-cam that I can see that you are in ?
Love how you can fully understand and appreciate what people are going through and it gives me a small insight into the other side of the coin..never change m8
Thank you 🙏
I have commented on a few of your videos now Billy and I don't know if you or anybody else even reads these comments but please, Please keep doing what you have been doing. Showing the REAL stories of people's lives who are fighting to survive ever day! Keep up the great work that you do Billy!
Lived in rhyl 31 years and watched the down slide downhill my entire life. Homeless people multiply by the year, there's nothing for kids and youths to do so they turn to drugs and alcohol and crime. It's sad really
P.s I know Brad, he's a good kid! Such a shame what he's going through but he's a genuinely nice lad
Thanks Billy, keep on going my brother, the more we all see the more we can all understand.
I think what I really appreciate about your videos is that it's real and not dramatised like these bloody auditors winding people up to gain views. I know what I'd rather watch, real educational real life and how it is. Keep up the good content Billy 👍🏻
Still binge watching. Such an eye opener. Help our own before the outsiders!!!
Materialistic items mean fk all. Wise words.
Great video again Billy . Thanks
Love your videos Billy seeing people and places we will not see 🙏
Great vid. Talking to real people and seeing what's really going on in the country I love.
I find youre docus very interesting,no soft soap just the raw truth,the worlds went crazy!I live in a small town near stirling and the drugs have taken over everywhere,I’ve never saw so many poor souls all on each of youre videos,trauma everywhere.Anyway thanks for keeping it real,only then can we do something about changing things for the better.Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland 🏴
I can't help but notice how many people are calling out the " drug/drink addicts" on here , its like that nice young man that was with his friend with the pink hair , two people looking out for eachother in a cruel situation, just like he was saying looked down on by society and jumped up youths clothed and bankrolled by their parents in over expensive clothing without a clue about real life , these boys wouldn't last five minutes put in any of yours situations! You all have some good friends . Its a disgrace that older guy on the crutches is that situation to when people arrive in this country illegally and get hotels and housing ! .I felt bad for that lovely lad at the end he seems a genuine person with a good heart I hope they are all doing well . Thank you for showing some thing real , i get tired of seeing all the set up BS on here . Great job ❤
Lived in Rhyl for years and love it, it's not as bad as it seems to be honest, Every town city as its bad points. Wish i knew you was in Rhyl Billy would have brought you a coffee.
Explore a little mate, it's a shithole.
I've lived in rhyl all my life too and am getting fed up of all the bad press now. I watched this video and thought it was good but yet again, another video making out that the while of rhyl is a shit hole and not 1 local person was featured in it.
Infiltrated by the people the big cities don’t want. All the nice properties converted into houses of multiple occupants.
Few have skills, few of them work, few contribute anything positive to the local community. Once a town turns to that then there’s no coming back.
blah.
They pumped a load of homeless and people with drug/mental problems from the North West English cities into Rhyl when the UK Sea-Side Holidays started to decline and they just filled all the struggling B&B/Small Hotels with them and the rest is history, same with Colwyn Bay.
On the flipside the goverment in the 80s thacther did social enginnering
Closed down trades like the mines
Sold the housing stock
Moved people from all cities due to overflow in major cities (liverpool surrounding areas like st helens runcorn widnes n wales and further afield)
So maggies plan worked
40 years on
Feeling the aftermath
@@doOf3rColwyn bay is a lot better than rhyl.
@@doOf3rjust like the struggling after COVID hotel owners were all to ready to sell to or contract to the government for the new influx of community ruin , at least these people are our own who have experienced damage mostly or been let down in some ways we need to look after our own before we start to look after the rest of the world.
I used to go with my parents in the 60s and 70s. I think we went to Pailings camp and it was an amazing fun place. How times have changed eh Bill
Love the content buddy a proper honest whistle stop appraisal tour of the Uk 👌
Not had a bloody Star Bar for about 10 years and now had 2 this week thanks to you 😂
Some strong people in this vlog.
Brad you are so right proper nice lad . People judge too quickly.
People with fuck all are the kindest
Lump in my throat watching the characters in Rhyl, Next time I go in the van will hand out some food and chocolates :-( can relate to the last guy losing his missus like i did. thanks Billy.
You don't realise that your kindness could save someone's life. 💯✌️ Nice one mate.
True we all need to show compassion
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh so true 5 minutes of kindness could save some one
@@albertreynolds9287 it saved mine, over 30 yrs ago.
So very sad to see, im 54 and some of my best childhood memories were of our once yearly holiday to Rhyl. My parents saved all year round to take us to Robin Hood caravan site. "It is still there to this day'. Back in the 70's it was Rhyl vs Blackpool. Blackpool was for the upper class. We did go to the annual 'Blackpool illuminations' which was cars driving from 1 end of Blackpool to the othher bumper to bumper in cars. We had a pack of sweets to share in the car whilst admiring the lights. What a dump it is now. These days the battle is not of the well off but 'battle of the dumps' so sad. 😢
I am the same age as you, I used to go to Robin Hood caravan site with my auntie uncle and nephews
for my holiday every summer late 70 s into early 80 s. I love that site.
I remember watching the 78 world cup final on a big screen in a hall loads of kids and adults watching it. Had some great times and memories there, I think Rhyl was just along the road. 😃👍
It is still not as bad as St Helens and certain parts of Liverpool and Manchester.
Billy what did he mean , he needs to drink because of his liver , and he is right it is always the people struggling or who has been through the struggle who are the most empathic and helpful , i wouldnt of looked at that lad and known he was a alcoholic, i thought it was going to be her son talking about his mothers struggle , god bless them both 2 troubled souls but compassionate and tough
Like many places in the UK, it has been hollowed out. It's best days long gone.
Love the lights outside the Imperial Hostel, great way to promote a hostel. Brad you speak so much with truth and passion, your words are so right in how people look at you, and perceive the way you are, keep going and shaz keep going hun, dont ever give up.Why the hell is Bob on the streets with disability's like this?. The guy who lost his partner made me cry, to find someone yu have been with like that must of been so traumatic. ❤Why oh why is this country not doing more, instead of keeping others in luxury who shouldn't be here !!😢😢😢.
Bill remember 80s when rhyl use to be pontins caravans and bad weather ..now its jus drugs crime and bad weather..another fallen landmark
Material things dont matter to Brad ...he says with his Rolex watch glistening....
It's a Bolex not a Rolex.
FAKE......WHY WHY WHY????
Oh I Geddit...Innit....
He's a thug, an utter parasite, ask the real locals.
Doing a great job Billy,showing us how the homeless survive and their stories.
Get the guy saying he doesn't understand how some people help but they give up cos it's a stress but when you're dealing with people in addiction, they have to be willing to help themselves. If you're putting more effort into helping them than they are helping themselves then they don't want it enough and you're just being pulled down with them.
You can't help until there already climbing and helping themselves. Until they loose that mentality that no one cares because no one does and thats a hard truth we all learn and learn not to look outside of areselves for help. People who are in addiction offer gestures of help to each other because they crave the compassion back. They are hurt people needing love and once they give it to themselves and flip that mentality from looking for it. They can get out of the life. It's all up to them,we all live a hard life,it either crushes you or hardens you up. You decide and people can't be around drowning people who don't get that because they'll use you as a life ring instead of swimming with you. There's no one coming to rescue us so swim and rescue yourself 👊
Such a shame to see my home town like this… I left the UK in 2018 and moved to Canada but my mum still lives on the outskirts of Rhyl I have so many fond memories of the town and there are some great people in Rhyl.
Two brilliant people Billy. Loved the interview. Brad was right on the money with people thinking they are better.
Yes Billy lad.... RHYL WAS A GET AWAY N HOLIDAY PLACE FOR YRS... But yes like many places it's been left to rot... The beach is terrible n the sea of them huge wind machines make it look grim... However like the good n real folk you chatted too today there's some good people there that have had serious problems and carrying a lot of trauma... I had 6 mths of trauma therapy n it helped me a great deal that's the gospel truth... I'd never judge as I've been there and made a lot of bad choices but yes it's gotta come from within if you wanna change your life for the better.... SAD to see to be honest but yeah it's a hard road for many 💯💯
Very good interview style.
Last line of video says “Another run down town in north of England”
I thought Rhyl was north Wales
Well done for being smug. No Rhyl is not North Wales. it's a place in North Wales
great video billy i hope and pray everything works out for the people you meet and help finds them
Used to go for day trips to Rhyl in the 50s an 60s with the family and had me stag night there at the Dixieland showbar in 75 great place then 👍
Never heard of a Star Bar. Must get one and try 😊. Rhyl is unreal. Lots of deprivation and sadness. Thanks for sharing Billy, you really are keeping it real!!! It’s important to show how shit some peoples lives are. YOU LOT in PARLIAMENT sort it out, these people deserve more!!!
They are the best. Can't believe so many English people not had em 😂
S tier chocolate bar, go and get one down yer!
Ive lived in Rhyl for 30 years now. Ive never had a problem here. Some parts of Rhyl are really nice and the seafront and beach are lovely. There are people struggling with trauma, mental health and addiction in every town, city across the country. You mentioned violence at the end there. I am originally from Liverpool and I have friends with young families who are desperate to get out of Liverpool because of the violence and gangs and drugs. They love it down here and wish they could move here!
Went to Rhyl in April absolutely sh*t hole during the day been n worked some rough places but Rhyl whole different level
Thank you for taking the time to visit all these different places & also for having the heart to listen & understand people's stories & their struggles. It's more than can be said for many prominent TH-camrs who seem to think it's OK to go around judging people based on how they look & resorting to calling them 'Crackies' & the like. These sorry excuses for humanity do not deserve the platform or subscribers they've got & I hope & pray karma will serve them up everything they deserve one day. You are truly an amazing guy & I hope you will continue with the great work you're doing every single day, Well Done Billy 👏🏻 ❤
💙
The average person can't handle others trauma, each has to handle their own
Sorry but thats a total cop out,if some1's ur friend u should be there to support them as much as u can,otherwise ur not really a friend are u??
Far 2 many fake friends who think there better than people they've known there whole life just cause there addicted or have mental health issues and just look down there nose.at them which achieves nothing!
But u carry in with ur perfect life....
@@JohnSmith-e7j "you can't handle the trauma!" 😊
Not joking here Billy.. You should have your own programme so the country could see what's going on. The content is hard hitting and should be seen by the whole country..
Here’s a like and comment. I love all your videos. I’m proud of your superpowers. Stay safe
Lived in Rhyl my whole life, good and bad to every town. If you only show the negative side & from one perspective then it looks bad. Our beaches are full in the summer, everyone having a good time from the cities and local towns. Would have been nice to see a more well-rounded perspective of the town (not just the town centre) and its people, not just those struggling.
Blessings Billy. Breaking these facts are ? What's the answer , is it more compassion in the people in the profession or the real people like yourself and others who know the score .
Another great video Billy, Ryhl was up there few weeks ago, it's not a great place anymore, it's full of fuckin sorrow, there is a lot of homeless, really felt for the old fella, something needs to be done to help him, he's to old and ill to be in that position. Keep up the great work Billy and stay safe on them streets.
I love this channel! I’ve had some mad nights out in Rhyl many years ago.
Its true what they say, everyone has a story so don’t judge!!
Wow that was depressing af I feel very lucky in my life as I’ve been in terrible situations similar to of those featured!
But yea this was an 8am depression episode!
I’m going to head to the beach today and thank my lucky stars!
Thank you for your EMPATHY ❤ please protect those lost souls forgotten in concrete jungle bless .. you see thro my eyes pls society be kind
Very true words, but I do believe it’s down to that individual themselves to get the help. (Inner strength) My brother died of alcoholism we suffered as a family for 5 years maybe longer to get him the help and he always went back to alcohol 😔 yet we still blame ourselves I actually don’t think we could of done anymore of what we did for him. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing someone with addiction get the help and stay on the right tracks, sheerly because it didn’t happen for us.
I used to go there with my grandparents in the sixties. Seemed nice back then.
Used to love the fair and Rhyl sun-centre as a kid on a few school trips great memories. Not just Rhyl but everywhere seems to have gone down hill it’s sad to see.
Used to come to Rhyl from the late 80s to early 2000s on holiday every year and with rose tinted glasses I moved up here in 2009 and have been here since. What was once a great seaside town is now just barber shops, phone repair shops, charity shops and police sirens going off daily.
The sea front looks good, the harbour and retail park with the lake is great but the main town is run down, depressing and almost dead with a number of empty shops.
I live near the Lorn pub and almost weekly the alcohol and arguing can be heard ringing down the street. Once I get that job offer in Llandudno I'm seeking I'll be gone from this dive lol.
It's a shame what happened to it.
Most high streets have few shops nowadays wherever you go. They call it 'The Death of the High Street'. Online shopping has done a great deal of harm.
With respect, if you live on the high street then you will get a lot of noise as it's simply not meant to be a residential area. I can assure you that there are plenty of streets in Rhyl which are quiet, suburban and look middle class. You don't need to go to Llandudo for that.
Llandudno is lovely but neighbouring Bangor is also a hole. It’s really run down and I remember the 90s there it was really nice.
I live near Rhyl. Thanks for giving these people a voice Billy.
Well done Billy, you're a really good man mate. Thanks for showing us the very bad, and sad side of life. Out there in the pissing rain, stay safe Bill. God bless you. Ian.
Mad this is the town we live in it's needs a documentary swear down😂😂
Thank you for this upload billy have a great night
Star bars like a boost lad. Just watched your film proper mental. I remember you down the South West, we was in the same area.
You done well for yourself, crazy story that it is you done what you needed to do. Big up.
RHYL is in Wales but none of these lot are Welsh
The govt has sent a load of addicts there over the years
they had the sense too get the hell out of there
Like a lot of sea side towns addicts are drawn there. I believe it's to do with they may have happy memories from there childhood in these places
@@robkemp091983 maybe Tourists are more generous with donations?
@@robkemp091983 the govt assigns housing to people on the list, they ship them to here on purpose, its not just a wistful whimsy taking them there
P.s what a great video ... Brad is so right..all the best and real people struggle .. ❤
Gutted.. would have loved to run into you big fella.. get a picture ect... Great video as always big man 👍
It's true, always those with the least who are the kindest. God bless them x
I was there in July, so so sad to see Rhyl in such a bad way ,been going to Wales from a kid ,this was so sad to see ,a once happy seaside town like this xxx 😢😢
Brilliant content mate.well done on your own journey.keep smashing it mate
I'm surprised you didn't get yourself over to Northwich when you were near mine in winsford last week.
It's the worst place now hardly anyone left of us in winsford who are active in drug addiction still where's Northwich has gone bad.
Take care and be safe out there mate 👍
great vid bill real and true stories of peoples struggles in life with addictions and homelessness have so many good memories of wales going on holidays there
What a brilliant person you are Billy, have a lot of respect for you
Keep these coming Billy.
Enjoying watching them
So many of us take having a roof over our heads,and bills payed and food in the house.great video billy and showing the reality of how some people are coping without nothing.God bless you all 🙏
yea cos i get up at 5am 6 days a week and get home at 6pm,bollox to the scumbags, oh coping without nothing implies you have something
That coin gesture was beautiful ya know billy, fair play to the lad that gave it to you
I had a brother heavy on alcohol and I did not realise how bad he was on it and I miss him a lot
sad, really sad!...rhyl is so poor ...its so poor and rundown, that i heard the good people of Ethiopia, recently held a "live aid" style fundraising concert for the town!!
You need to see the other parts of rhyl mate it's gets alot worse I was born and raise here and its gone really shitty over the last 8 years or so the locals are all moving slowly cause how bad it's got there is a tent town on cob some people can't grt the help they need
My home town, lived in Blackpool last 16 yrs, this makes me sad
Does he get his 50 quid haircuts and gold watches off his "mates" aswell ?
Such a shame to see what Rhyl has become. Ive got so many fond memories of it as a kid. Its a shame the council have spent thousands on the front coast to make it look nice. But they have done nothing for the people that live there 😢
