Your correct, the people of W,ton, are the salt of the earth. People who have the highest standards of behaviour and integrity. You rarely hear four letter words in this great city, unless a tradesman drops his toolbox on his foot. People here bend over backwards to assist you, and will starve, while giving you their last penny. I say a little pray each evening in thanks: for basically living amongst angels on earth 🙏.
What people of wolverhamton do you mean ? It's nothing like it was,even as lad during ww2 you could walk around the town without being stopped constantly by beggars,mugged etc,the streets were cleaner ,policeman were on view to make you feel ok .But wolverhamton is now like many towns and cities is a shit hole, the culture has been decimated by over immigration from so many nations has not been managed by LABOUR COUNCILS.NOW ITS TO LATE,OLD WOLVES IS GONE
Recently discovered your channel and catching up as fast as I can. Some real eye opening stuff, but this is brilliant. The world needs more good guys like you and these local people. Well done. 👌
Sad to see yet another once prosperous UK Town in such decline, but good to see Bilston Market battling on. Great to see the solidarity of the traders in supporting your efforts to help the homeless. Great video as always.
I've recently been helping some of the local homeless and I can't deny that your videos have been a contributing factor in opening my eyes and helping to influence me to be more active in doing what needs to be done to help people who have fallen on hard times. God bless you
Im ftom surrey and been a supporter of wolverhampton wanderers since 9 years old ,first went to eolverhampton when i was 14 ,sold my bike at school to fund the trip and my overriding memories was the humour of the black vountry people along with there no nonsense directness friendliness and diwn to earth honesty something you never get in surrey and the south east !!! Great people and our iconic historical football club so influential in english football !!
I went Bilston Training Centre for a year (1992) and Wulfren College for 4 years. I spent a fair bit of time on busses 🤣 Bilstons yellow chips were a weekly treat. I would have beers around Dudley and Wolvo… clubbing there too. i stopped working there ten years later, never really been back. The Army Surplus store was great. Happy days i miss sometimes.
I’m from Cradley Heath- Don’t forget to mention the anchor for the titanic was made in the gud ole Black Country.. Loving your vids mate 👌.. Keep em coming- Maybe one day we will meet up 🙏👍
This is a very unique and blessed place, the amount of decent, humble and kind people you met on your journey... It warmed my heart to see fellow English men and women
I'm Brazilian and I'm in England due my work(for a British company) and holliday (49 days, I have 22 left). I started helping all the homeless I come across during my days here, after followed you and listen their stories, Wendell.
@@MbisonBalrog I didn't steal anyone's work, I'm a mathematician and I work as a software engineer in security applications, facial recognition, etc. To this day, we have difficulty finding indigenous people to work in the same area. It's not my fault.
@@FilipeCruz1337ignore it mate, lots of racist edl on here. UK has a lack of workers in many fields, means there has to be foreign workers. Without foreign workers the country wouldn't run.
Salt of the earth what we call normal people , hardworking , poor but considerate human beings , it’s really nice to see people helping out with whatever they can
I was there in 2009. I thought it was nice. Maybe things have changed. I was amazed at how the indigenous English, Indian and Caribbean people lived so well together.
Fair play Ollie. It might not be the Wolverhampton we grew up in, but you've shown that there are still some great people here, while making a difference to those who need it most. Happy New Year to you mate! 👍🏻
I'm born, bred and still live in Wolverhampton. I really enjoyed this video Wendall. Well done. I'm loving your content. Keep up the awesome work. All the best for the new year to you and to all.
I enjoyed your video, thanks for helping the homeless people. I studied at the Wolverhampton University in the 90's and made many friends, unfortunately it was pre-facebook / social media, so I am only in contact with one ex-fellow-student from Carlisle..I sadly lost contact with my local friends from Wolverhampton (one was living in a caravan by the canal in Whitmore Reans and I helped him with his French studies! A nice fellow) . I still vividly remember when I came with my French Renault 4 on the first day, arriving late at night and driving on the right hand side by mistake in the city centre, coming face to face with the Police in their Peugeot 306. I thought they would give out ... lol instead they kindly brought me to the student housing near Molineux stadium.
Its so wrong that some have so much & others don’t have anything . Nobody should be without food or shelter . Its a sad world we live in but seeing people that care restores my faith in humans . We are so lucky to have the things we need . Well done 🤍
I left the uk because I was luck enough to be born in no England tried to break me down to homelessness over a period of say thirty years so really appreciate your content I can now see from seeing how fucked up the uk is how much I miss the people thank you for your videos brother and have a great new year carry on the good work mate
I was just recommended your channel & feel emotional watching this video. You're doing such a lovely thing & I wish more people in the world had such big hearts. I'm from a little East Midlands town myself, where sadly things have turned for the worst in so many areas. The one thing that will never change though, in our working class towns (as you stated & experienced) are people's spirit; their kindness & generosity. It's always beautiful to see. You've definitely gained a new sub. Nice one lad, you are clearly a good'en 👌🏼
I used to live in Bilston a few years ago and your video brought back many happy memories. Thank you and the traders for helping those less fortunate. Black Country people are 'Bostin'!!
Bilston is my home town born and bread, I couldn't be more prouder of where I live.. Thank you for what you do honestly you have a heart of gold, if you ever come back to bilston you have to try chaplins chipshop as majors is on the left go further down and its on the right just after the tram entrance 👍🏼 xx
Good work 👏🏻 We can make a small but positive difference if every one of us occasionally shows some generosity and kindness to someone who needs it most
You do a great job for the homeless wendall. It's a pity theirs people out. there with billions in the bank, and they are that greedy they don't help When they could help because the money they spend they would make back in interest within a day. Thank you so much. For what you do not just at Christmas time aswell 👍🇬🇧
You've got a big heart Wendall. You demonstrate so well how simple acts of kindness can brighten up another hard day on the streets for the homeless. Kudos to you sir!
Very nostalgic , I was in Wolverhampton from 2003 November till April 2012 Thank you for bringing the latest from Wolverhampton Thank you Wendall n Happy New Year, god bless you
Wendall, it is the same in America. A lot of people still dont know here what/who is behind this I hope that people there are waking up I subbed Happy New Year to you and all England/Scotland/Wales and Ireland
Bilston born and bred and proud of it,seen the good and bad times in Bilstston,but despite the bad press at times,but I will always love the old place,and the people are golden
Well done! I miss this part of fhe world i havent been back since my granny and grandad died but have sime happy memories of wolvo including many christmases and my first music gig. Very inspiring to see you helping like this i will try to follow your example.
That's nice. I'm sure they'll remember this. I've given a homeless guy 3 quids today because I didn't have more. I don't know if he genuinely needed it for a room as he said or not but it's nice to help.
Pleasure to have met you irl during this episode Wendall, it's Joanne. Love my city and its people but definitely nowhere near as busy as it used to be. Still a lot of opportunity to be had (I'm a remote software engineer for a US company). Great to see more people helping the homeless 👍
Thanks Wendell. You know mate. Your videos and what you and the others did restores my faith in humanity which is whats desperately needed these days. Bless you mate ❤
Isn’t it so interesting how you see lots of shops closed but the big corporate businesses stay open. It’s not right that. What a smashing generosity you have showed in this video, it’s actually inspiring to see ❤
cant beat queenies orange chips in great bridge and great video used to live in wolvo and loved the old shops like the golden oldies record shop and the arcarde over the road from the gifford arms the old market as well
Genuinely cried watching this, such a wholesome video. I'm so grateful for what you do & if you're willing to take a suggestion could you maybe in future come to Nottingham city centre as there's a large homelessness problem and it really hurts to walk past everyday knowing how much I can help myself is quite limited.
We work often in Bilston in particular The Trumpet Pub and around Wolverhampton. All the people we meet are lovey, honest folk and its fantastic what your doing. The market is hub of activity so nice to see.
Wendall, You are one amazing guy. The generosity of the market traders was wonderful. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing this lovely vlog. Happy New Year 2024 to you and yours. Hopefully it will be a better year than this one past. 😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
i used to live in wolverhampton back in the 70s and 80s.it was a great town with great and friendly people.lots of shops and cafes very busy town.loved it.
I’m from Wolverhampton and now live in Cornwall, 20+ years. I can’t believe you havnt tried the yellow chippie chips wendall 😂 showel circus chippie in low hill/bushbury was my local. I didn’t realise chips weren’t orange until I moved to Cornwall 😂 love your vids matey 👍

Collab? Kurt Caz too?
Lol Brucie sold the clothes for drugs within 10 minutes
if im ever unfortunate enough to find myself homeless.... fair play wendall , topclass
There are , thank goodness , a few people that still have hearts .
Incredible the unwavering generosity there. Well done m8, you’ve done a fine job with that.
Brucie hit the nail on the head..”got any trainers” footwear is one of the key things apart from good jacket is what you need when homeless.

Great work, Wendall. It's so heart warming to see Black Country folk showing such generosity. Bless You.🙏🥰
It's sad to see our once great towns in such decline with it only getting worse.
City
Not all of them are like this.
Two words online shopping thats what has killed off our high streets

Cheers mate
It restores my faith in humanity when I see people helping people less fortunate!
Me too not enough of human kindness in the world, only egotistical, murderous , greedy bastards.
That's so kind of you and all the market stall holders to help the homeless, bless you all. The dog was beautiful too x

Crazy to still see the old signage on the abandoned buildings. I've rarely ever seen that anymore except for in photos!
Wendall, you seem like a very kind and respectful person. I really enjoy your content.
🙏
Well done Wendell
Let’s have you back in Yorkshire soon sir !
Keep up the good work mate
I think there’s a price on my head in Yorkshire 💀
Good work 👏🏻

Hey my travel friend thanks for sharing this video I haven't been to Wolverhampton for 7 years 😊
Love Bilston….. have met some lovely ladies in Foxies
People that have the least are often the most giving. I think thats the best thing about working class communities - theres a shared understanding.
Battered chips ... wonderful .. good to see you, thanks for the documentary
Wendall, it is the same in America. A lot of people still dont know here what/who is behind this
I hope that people there are waking up
I subbed
Happy New Year to you and all England/Scotland/Wales and Ireland
Liberal policies... thank George Soros
Nice to see there’s some kind & decent people left out there your doing a good things Wendal 🙏
Bilston born and bred and proud of it,seen the good and bad times in Bilstston,but despite the bad press at times,but I will always love the old place,and the people are golden
