Hiya, I have to actually tell you that there is ALOT of support in Rhyl for homeless people, including somewhere every day to get a free or £1 meal, substance use services, the Salvation Army and multiple church and charity organisations that'll provide help including tents, sleeping bags and support. The council also have moved ALOT of people out of B&B's into leased accommodation, where people can have more of their own space and work with alot of people to help them move into supported or independent accommodation. Alot of people still come to Rhyl in Summer.
My auntie moved to Rhyl about 45 year ago when it was a nice place to live . About a mile from the train station in the opposite direction to the beach . Moved back away after about 10 year 😂
Rhyl was the location for Wale's first private member's cannabis club and medical cannabis dispensary owned and operated by Jeff Ditchfield and named the "Beggars Belief".
Jeff took the cannabis issue very seriously. Much more than a potheads pipedream. He met with all sorts of experts who were studying the medical uses of cannabis. He appeared on TV a number of times. He supplied children with cannabis oil to treat their cancer and epilepsy. He was a great person and a good friend.
Well done Billy. Keep it up mate I live abroad and love the fact your out with the phone recording the other side of life seeing the good bad and the ugly. Best wishes from a scouser in Malta.
There's no prom at the moment because they're actually being proactive about protecting the town from rising sea levels. I can understand people being upset about all the work going on on the seafront, but it is future proofing the safety of the town. I have lived in Rhyl, and without doubt, it has its problems, but nevertheless, it can be a lovely place to live. The beaches (when they are open, admittedly, but they will be again) are glorious - the views towards the west are stunning and the area around Horton's Nose is very beautiful and teeming with wildlife. The Marine Lake is also a lovely place to walk around. I live in Harrogate now (known as one of the top 10 places to live in the UK - very pleasant) but it truly would not upset me to live in Rhyl again as I found people very friendly as well as all the above assets. A town relies on its council to maintain and improve it, but it does also require pride and input from its residents - Rhyl gets knocked on a regular basis and I hate to see/read it. I wish people would realise how lucky they are to have that glorious Welsh coast on their doorstep. (Very good belly busting fish and chips as well!)
Used to love this place... the posh Blackpool... the Sun Centre, proper holiday highlight. The wave section in there felt ahead of it's time. Real good times....state of the place now, state of the country.... 💩
Early 80s when Frankie GtH were massive, Rhyl was packed with holidaymakers, from the funfair by the humped blue bridge to the clock tower the pavements were chocker block! Been downhill ever since sadly, cos as a local it was an ace place, it really was!! Anyhow best of luck every1 & you stay safe + well Billy.
No way, I'm from North Wales and used to live in Rhyl for a short while, it's a rough area very neglected, was once a nice place many many years ago. Dangerous area at night time , I stayed in the Westminster hotel when I was homeless. Keep up the videos Bill always good to see pop up 😊
Keeping it real billy. Many podcasters have changed lately,they started off getting the message across to try and encourage people to choose a different path,now theres so much arguing with eachother ie podcast wars, they have lost the purpose of what its all about. Sad really because its people who have been in bad situations that can really speak to people who may be going through tough times right now.keep up the good work.Thank you.
Group of went down to Rhyl from Glasgow late 70's, dancing in clubs to Taste of Honey. Don't think they'll be too many 19 year olds planning a long weekend there any time soon. Very sad state of affairs.
Remember Sugarbabes playing on the front there and some big roadshow going on not too many years ago. Brought my little girl to the suncentre then to the fair after . Was well on its way down hill then. Shame, because the beach is lovely
Alot of lost souls up in Rhyl in bedsit area, been like that for years Bill, Shame really Bill because Rhyl has alot of good local folk, good community spirit as well.
Bill is there any way to gauge if the problems around the UK are actually worse than day when i was a youth in the 90s than today. Just i was thinking there were always parts of newcastle that were considered 'little beruit' or 'the bronx' all over the place but you just heard about them .. whereas now people actually document it
Seen ye outside that wincubs caravan park by the fair chilling on a bench I had the baby in the pram I let on like I knew ye from watching these vids hahahaha u let on back like haha u must of though who’s dat hahaha keep up the vids mate
this city could be "anywhere" these days etc...........I love Rhyl.........the run-down shops and closed have been there for years.........but to a certain degree aslong as there "Clean" and not vandalised it suits the place etc..................Good old Rhyl never changes...............
@@alisonlaing5626I used to love Rhyl in the late 70s and 80s it was always chocker and the fairground always had queues for the best rides, it was becoming a ghost town early 90s when they started charging exorbitant prices for hotel stays and caravans and high ground rents for statics on the campsites around Rhyl, people would go abroad instead because it was cheaper in some places like Spain.
Billy check out Macari Foundation Stoke ( Lou Macari Ex Man Utd) giving homeless people a home and structure in their lives,every Town should follow suit,brilliant gesture from the Man.
Its a shame whats happened to rhyl as it used to be a great town and had a brilliant night life but as times gone on the big shops moved out and all the pubs and clubs closed down. Add to that a clueless council who have just spent over 11 million on a new small shopping centre on the front that now they cant get anybody to run or fill it so now its sat doing nothing. Like most seaside towns its become a dumping ground for the all the worst and lost in society and its really starting to show , unfortunately Rhyl is finished.
I blame the conservatives for this!! This wouldn’t be the case under a different government…. Labour wouldn’t let this happen! Sorry to bring politics into this but it’s a fact…
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 it’s wrong. The cars he was putting on the raffles he was waiting for un bought numbers and claiming the win. Lots of same names winning on his website.

Should have said you was in rhyl Billy , I'm living in rhyl would have met you for a coffee .I've been there since 2005 mate , its a shitole , I feel safe we're ever I walk in rhyl lol
Stayed a Presthaven sands when the kids was little 80s and 90s Rhyl was on a slippery slope then ,like Blackpool charged top price for everything, drink ,fair ,pubs only itself to blame
If you stood in front of the Westminster abit longer you’d have interviewed 20+ people from in there they all come out at once for a ciggy so it seems😂 welcome to sunny Rhyl bro
Im not going to piss myself. But I will take the mamba challenge. Jeez, ryhl is a place they seem to send the great unwashed from all the other towns and citys nowadays 😢

Loved going the Rhyl Sun Centre in the 80's as a kid. Felt like I was abroad. 'Waves in the big pool! Waves in the big pool!!'

Used to go to Rhyl on football trips from Ireland as a kid in the 80s... It was amazing.. sorry to see it like it is now
thats sad to see i got great memory's of Rhyl as a kid growing up in the 80's

Is this place you speak of still in operation, legal, and actually dispensing ?
Or was it just some potheads pipedream ?
(Seriously asking)
RIP Jeff
@@job2447 it was down water street about 20 years ago, he had no end of grief from the council and police from what I can remember.

Rhyl was great in the 1970s and early 80s. Do like the coin and stamp shop though!
Yes I remember Rhyl in the 80s the beach the fun fair was great

The A55 probably sealed it's fate. Sea gliders or hovercrafts would surely work for the economy It has been planned in the past.
