    Is Grimsby such a bad place to be?

    Cheap place to live. Next to the sea. Close to wide open spaces (Lincolnshire).

    Oh, and great fish n chips!

        Nope I'm from Manchester. Steels is a good fish restaurant up the road in Cleethorpes. Not really an area I recommnd to be quite honest though.

            Grimsby's nothing special, but it's not in the same league as Southern tulipholes like Reading, Basingstoke, Croydon etc

                Our fishmonger delivers to our door and comes from Grimsby. Jolly nice chap too.

                  My Dad worked there in the 60s. Grim Grimsby was how he and his colleagues described it. Arsehole of the Universe was another epithet.

                    Spent some time in Burnley, that was grim, not a patch on Cumbernauld though.
