Took a potter around this weekend. Wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Houses everywhere seemed in very good nick (excellent prices too), streets were far cleaner and attractive than London, and the sea-front wasn't packed with chavi-gans. Only surprising thing was how few holiday-makers were there - I won't be investing in a b&b business there anytime soon! But it could be a decent place for a cheap retirement home. Access to the net, sea views on sunny days, cheap cost of living - what more do you want?

Ah, Cleethorpes where the wind is so bracing. And if it changes direction to come from Pywipe you understand why there's not so many holiday-makers in Grimsby.

Not to live in Cleethorpes or Grimsby. There's a reason those houses are cheap; no bugger wants to live there.Originally posted by MrMark View PostComment

I suspect it's more down to the demise of jobs and the old employers - whether in tourism or the fishing industry. But if you're retiring it seems quite a good choice given the prices, unless you want a sea warm enough to swim in ! Plenty of nice places to visit nearby too eg the Lincolnshire Wolds, Lincoln.Originally posted by wobbegong View PostSpeaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas.

B&B's survive off workers serving the industry just along the Humber. Steels (Fish and Chips restaurant/cafe) Haddock and Chips is excellent if a bit pricey, the town is a dump though.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
