    there is enough frozen food stored in Grimsby to feed all of the EU for 3 months, apparently.

    that's assuming our European chums are happy to eat Findus Crispy Pancakes, Ross Young's fish fingers (most of which have been on the floor at some point during their manufacturing process) and Tesco Value pizzas.

    getting flashbacks to my student summer jobs now.

    What's that fish factory called: pywipe or somat. Down the docks, back in the day, there were rats the size of small dogs, (one must remember that small dogs are smaller today.)

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

    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.
