RHYL~ IS THIS the WORST Seaside Town in NORTH WALES.

[@LisaD78]

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

[@NotMe-f2e]

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.

[@Mat-kr1nf]

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.☹️

[@Peteski-0]

@@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.

[@jedfra9172]

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.

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.

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.

[@sarahnguimbi964]

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.

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 .

[@Talkingheads-yb6kv]

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.

[@ED-209UHD]

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!

[@Jcscat74]

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!!

[@Empit78]

Thank you for your EMPATHY ❤ please protect those lost souls forgotten in concrete jungle bless .. you see thro my eyes pls society be kind

[@anne-marieweaver4003]

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.

[@jbird4627]

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.

[@derekprice9998]

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.

[@davidfriend4328]

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.

[@desertrose1226]

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.

[@alloriginalpirates]

I live near Rhyl. Thanks for giving these people a voice Billy.

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 😢
