Same here and remember when it was not so built up around the town, and toward Kimnel Bay. Was a very sedate place. If you now go in, of an evening, it is all the drunks shouting, and a very scary place
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.
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 😊
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.... 💩
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 😂
My aunt moved to Rhyle some years ago, around the nineteen forties, and it was a very sedate, quite place. Come the late seventies and it began to change, massively. The train that went round the lake at Kimnel Bay disappeared, and the fair ground went, ended up just a derelict site, for years. The entire atmosphere changed. Not there is a feeling of unease in the day, and very frightening at night with all the drunks shouting in the city centre, a veritable madhouse
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.
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.
My grandmother moved to Rhyle when it was sedate. A lovely place to live, then in the late seventies it began to change to what is so shameful. One of the first things was building on every inch of land, and even, just over the blue bridge, bungalows built up toward the sea wall, and the city centre crammed, felt like it was pushing in on itself, the road narrowed to accommodate the expanse. It became a dive, and as I write this I have not seen your footage, but will not be at all taken aback if it still is a dive,
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
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
Nothing has changed, and still a building site. There is a little bit of a prom toward Kimnel Bay, where the fair ground stood, stood there for many years, and opposite, where the lake is, there used to be a train that went round it. If you go out into town, of a night, be careful, its shouting and bawling, and hotels closed their doors when it all kicks off
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…
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.
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
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 😢
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
Funny how there’s always 2 sides to a story! Speaking for Paul.. he put himself in that situation. Had multiple chances to change with the full support of others. He chased his ex partner & their neighbours with a knife. Not the other way around. Why would he be given compensation, I felt sorry for the police man! Guy was going his job to protect those who he was trying to attack! Hes vile! Always has been & has no intention of wanting to change! He plays the victim very well 👏🏻 he’s ruined a lot of lives. There’s a reason why people like him end up in these positions. He has a LOT of demons in his closest I’ll assure you that!! Not once’s apologised for his actions or tried to make amends!
@billy is there any chance you can change up yuh flavour for a little while and make us smile again, by bringing back Darren, the Bouncer 😂. You need a bit more laughter on yuh streams rather than the reality stuff you’ve been push lately. Bless ❤ 🙏🏽 🔥
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
People should not live like this.. I blame the government's. These people should have mentors . And social workers .Wales is a labour government. And so is Liverpool..run by councillors .
Rhyls great. These r not locals, and the sea defense build is playing a vital role in keeping the sea at bay so we're not under water in 10 years. U went down an alleyway 2 record rubbish, and visited the town early morning. I cud walk thru Rhyl morning noon or night and feel safe. It's no worse than the decline of other seaside resorts. We are a very deprived area, but home is what u make it, if people aren't happy, then they can clear on out and make a better life 4 themselves elsewhere. Instead of bitching about it. DCC r divs tho, if they got locals wiv lived experience 2 make decisions, then they might start benefitting the town. Proud rezo rat xxx
We was that rich as kids r hoilday was towyen struggle to spell we was happy tho boss hoildays sunny club think we all went there enjoyed it anyway 2 times a year big up towny sunny club arcades class days for us
What is shicking its not just rhyl i lived in the place for over 30 years and remember the old rhyl when they had ciu family clubd for the families and friends etc. blame the incontence DCC and uts m.ps uts obviously lined the wrong pockets but thats the problem all over the u.k. well ive still met some lovely souls in rhyl dont dish it as uts only alike other postcodes.
@@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.

Happy the kids are getting water but I can’t see the well lasting. His last well has disappeared. I love the work he does but he’s just out to fleece people.
Not having a go but I think it's wrong dumping these people with complex needs in struggling seaside towns that have no money or resources to support them. Seaside towns were already struggling with decreased visitors. No offence but families don't want to go to run down places full of people with substance abuse issues. This policy is kicking seaside towns when they were already down.
Bill why don't you talk about the war that's looming. Is everyone burying their heads in the sand..It use yo be a real good place for holiday's, sad so much of GB has gone down the toilet.This war is going to shake everything up Bill.✌️☘️
Even the seagulls fly upside down in Rhyl because there ain't nothing worth shitting on anymore!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆 brilliant.
These two look worth while to me lol 😂🤣😢
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!!'
Haha, indeed, now it's half the place it used to be
What a shout,
"WAVES IN THE BIG POOL, WAVES IN THE BIG POOL"

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".
Is this place you speak of still in operation, legal, and actually dispensing ?
Or was it just some potheads pipedream ?
(Seriously asking)
RIP Jeff
thats sad to see i got great memory's of Rhyl as a kid growing up in the 80's
