00:01I think it's probably, in certain parts it's falling, but in the core areas, then it's probably still there.
00:10If you go to Bathurst pubs and other places like that, you'll see that there's a good, good core of
00:16black country people in there.
00:18So black country people tend to stay together.
00:23The black country's dying out. I'm afraid it's dying out.
00:26Yes, yes. It isn't like it used to be.
00:30No, the old characters aren't there. It's changing, totally changing.
00:35We're, what, simply odd, and we've seen some changes.
00:39It's massive what you see. Well, you can see it in the local area as well, can't you?
00:44It's not what it used to be.
00:46It's our country. It won't die up at all.
00:52I like the idea of the flagship, giving it a bit more community.
00:56It is dying, though. It's been ruled out, hasn't it, by them or both.
01:00All the local shops seem to be closing down and all that, don't they?
01:04They're phasing them out, aren't they?
01:05Yeah, you've got to go to the Mary Hill centres and all that. You want your stuff.
01:09To be fair, I think it's the same as everywhere.
01:12Everywhere's identity is dropping, to be quite honest.
01:15Starbridge is still quite massively black country compared to some of the places around black country.
01:20There's pros and cons. I think, you know, we're definitely out and about there.
01:24So, like, Peaky Blinders, obviously, that's, like, you know, made people a bit more aware of what's going on around
01:28the black country and things like that.
