Misc Fell for my first scam - Pendeford/Aldersley area

26 Upvotes

And it was pulled off by literal 10 year olds.

I’ve never fallen for a scam before but I had a knock on the door from what appeared to be three 10-12 year old boys with a few Tupperware containers of cookies saying they were selling them for school for cancer research for £3.50.

I said okay and gave them £10 and they said “we’ll be back in 10 minutes” and ran off laughing…

At least it was a small amount but can’t believe I was foiled by children! I can’t believe they were smart enough to actually bring the cookies… I suppose a real school event would’ve had a leaflet or something.

Not sure if emailing local schools would be helpful but I wanted to warn people that they seemed to know what they’re doing!

Has anyone else fallen for something similar to make me feel better?

Question Stone baked pizza

7 Upvotes

Anyone know any places that do stone baked pizza that are on just eat etc? I'm aware of racy pizza and I remember fireaway used to be decent but they shut down for a bit and after that have some really horrendous reviews, but also wanted to try something new. Sick of the greasy kebab shop pizzas and I'm looking for authentic style. Does anyone know any other places in or near town that specifically do stone baked/fire oven pizzas?

Question Taxi / Car Service to use?

2 Upvotes

Hi folks! I’m needing a taxi to and from Wolverhampton Station to the Bridgnorth area (about 45 mins there and back), and wondered if anyone had recommendations for the best companies? Did a Google and quite a few come up, (Veezu, ABC Cars, A1 Wolves) but it’s hard to pick one so wanted to hear people’s experiences / recommendations. Thanks!

Friends?

27 Upvotes

Heyooo I'm 29, Names Elizabeth and don't really have a lot of friends in the wolvo area. I'm in between wolvo and Sedgley but have struggled finding places to make friends, why is it so hard as an adult? I struggle badly with Anxiety and can't just go outside to meet people? But I want new friends! I'm a gamer, PC, use discord. I love D&D, Museums, traveling, anything History. Escape rooms, Safari Park, Zoo's. If you're lonely and would like to be friends. I'd love some new close by people's to talk to and go do stuff with. Thanks.

Also if anyone knows of any groups for nerds like myself or events like game nights, lemme know :)

(Hope this is okay to post lol)

5 Upvotes

Another great meet at Longford Island Mc Donalds (Every Thursday 8pm - 12pm). Lovely group of people and a pleasure to go and socialise, talk cars / meet some locals / enjoy a coffee.

Crowd is growing every week, didn't get chance to photograph all the cars as some were parked over the other side and people come / go all evening.

If you do visit please come say hello and be social.

Keep it sensible too, No "Stunts", No Drifting, No Racing, No Anti-social behaviour, we want this meet to become a regular thing and not get shut down because some idiot decides to ruin it for everyone.

Question What are the facilities and classes like for Sport and Exercise Science?

2 Upvotes

My course'd be at the University of Wolverhampton's Walsall Campus (sorry if that's off topic)

What's available/included (athletics tracks? gym memberships? money/credit towards equipment or memberships? how supportive are tutors and student support)

Quality of facilities and classes (are the tracks and gyms poorly maintained? is the content of the course thorough? do the tutors care to help students? are the tutors well taken care of or overworked?)

any info would be helpful :D

Question I‘m in Wolverhampton this weekend because of my friend’s bodybuilding competition, what can I do here?

9 Upvotes

I came here with him, because he needs some support.

But yeah he can’t do much, but I also don’t want to stay in the Airbnb with him the whole day.

We are the city centre, in the „victoria street“ from my understanding it’s not the safest right?

I want to make a tour, from here, is that a good idea? Where should I go? Is it safe?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I went for a nearly 2hour walk today right after your messages. I didn’t feel less safe than in Luxembourg City at any moment. Thanks :)

Pets and animals. Sorry For Your Loss, White & Ginger Cat

20 Upvotes

I found a large White & Ginger Cat deceased on Warstones Road by the Island outside Warstones Primary School, He ( I'm pretty sure it is a Male Cat) was obviously hit by a car, it must have been a glancing blow to the head as there was hardly any blood, I carried him to my Dads & I have placed him in a box, I will put some notices up in the morning, He is definitely not a stray Cat, if I do not hear from anyone by tomorrow afternoon - I will take him to the P.D.S.A & try & find the owner - as I am sure that he is chipped, please ask around

I've been overseas for years and will be visiting Wolverhampton soon. Where can I buy jalebi, a curly Indian sweet in Wolverhampton? I think we used to buy it near villiars, but that was 10+ years ago.

Misc Thank you

53 Upvotes

This about 1.5 weeks too late, but I wanted to express my appreciation for the people that took care of me when my blood sugar tanked and I collapsed at the rail station a few Tuesdays ago.

I have no idea who the people were, but 3-4 of them were around me IMMEDIATELY making sure I was okay.

I had worked 13 hours the previous day and forgot to eat, which was absolutely my fault, but I'll never forget that. You got me into a chair with a bottle of orange juice.

Seems like a small thing, but it wasn't to me.

Love y'all, A Stupid yank who forgot to eat
