Dudley

And James Whale's a fascinating guy.

You know, originally born over in the UK in Dudley, Worcestershire, back in 1899.

And One of these guys, you know, he served in World War I, decided to get into drama, you know, and was a very successful play director and writer.

And he had, I want to say he had a hit play that was called Journey's End.

Apparently, he will ultimately believe in LNER, but for now, he'll continue as its MD.

The beleaguered project to get the new tram line open to Dudley in the West Midlands has been hit with another setback.

And I don't think beleaguered is an unfair word on this occasion.

According to an article in the Express and Star newspaper on the 17th of October, Councillor Patrick Harley, he's the leader of Dudley Council, said he did not believe the much-delayed tram line from Wensbury to Dudley Town Centre would be open this year, despite previous commitments from West Midlands Combined Authority that it would be, and they are responsible for the project.

Councillor Harley has previously called for, quote, heads to roll at the Combined Authority.

So we asked the West Midlands Combined Authority, is it true that it is now going to be delayed again into next year? And they sent us a statement saying this.

we understand how frustrating the wait has been for Dudley's businesses and residents.

And we want to see the Metro open as much as they do.

There's nothing that can stop me.

And his opponent, from Dudley, England, Tyler Bate.

I may be 19 years old, but I'm capable of anything I set my mind to.

One of these men makes history tonight.

But Dunne, I think, has just got that edge.

I believe, and I'm not Dr. Phil or Dr. JR, I think Dunne has a dark side.

And his opponent, from Dudley, England, weighing in at 175 pounds, he is the WWE United Kingdom Champion, Tyler Banks!

Lucky young man from Birmingham, no question about it.

There's also another example, and this is one of my favorites, actually.

It comes from St. Edmund's Churchyard in Dudley, which is in the West Midlands of England, where a local legend tells of a young man who accepted a wager to visit the grave of Edward Croker, who was a notorious hangman at midnight.

And to prove that he had completed this sort of challenge that they gave him, he was, again, to drive his dagger in.

into the ground beside the grave, but he drives it through his cloak.

And his whole thing is, don't go on foreign holidays and don't even go on mini breaks to places in the UK that you think are going to be nice, like Stratford-upon-Avon.

Go to Dudley.

That's the example he gives.

Go to

Dudley.
