RESIDENTS of Wolverhampton are sick of tourists posing outside of their homes and clogging up their stunning town centre, it has emerged.
Wulfrunian Nathan Muir, who rents an enviable studio flat near the Molineux stadium for £200 a month, is considering moving out of the city to get some peace from the constant stream of awed sightseers.
He said: “When you live somewhere like this, you expect a certain amount of inconvenience. I mean, with three Greggs to choose from in the centre alone, it’s no wonder that we’re thronged with tour groups.
“But I’m getting f**king sick of it. I can barely get out of my front door without walking into an Italian Instagram model trying to get a sexy picture next to the big ASDA.
“You may want my filthy stairwell to serve as the perfect backdrop for your next modelling shoot, but people actually live here, you know. It’s not just a playground for the wealthy and gorgeous.”
Social media starlet Lauren Hewitt says that Wolverhampton has been a dream destination for years now.
“The boarded-up shop windows? The day drunks lounging on the Man on the Horse statue? The ring road? It’s the kind of scenery that instantly lifts any selfie.
“I hope they don’t introduce a tourist tax or anything, because I’m already planning my next trip. I’ll be staying in a former halfway house near Bentley Bridge Retail Park. Yeah, that retail park. I can’t wait.”
