No offence to the good Burghers of Grimsby Ice but it is a bit grey and seems to be full of today's "youth" hanging around on the street corners wearing their "hooded top" uniform!
:undecided:
Sorry DeniseBabe but I don't do vinegar and ketchup! :twisted:
Grimsby is the right buttock of England,, and Hulls the Left one.
Now Now, this is my hometown we are talking about, and I was there last Friday and Saturday and got totally mullered. Regrettably we are infamous somewhat nowadays with certain characters who shall remain nameless, other than to say that one might cost us a fortune over the next few years.
Its a typical northern town, with much suspicion cast upon our northerly neighbours, known affectionatley as Yorkies, its much improved over the last 20 years, and does have some of the cheapest housing in the country.
Famous names well - Patrick Whymark ( the bloke who jumped out of the plane at the end of Eagles Dare) actor born there. Patricia Hodge actress, and folk singer Barbara Dickson shops at the local Morrisons. Steve Curre Bass player with T Rex is also from dear old Grimbob, and even better known actor John Hurt lived in Grimsby 4 a while, ehen his father had a church posting here.
Football team have played in all divisions of England, and once were a very good quiz question as the team that never played a home game ( ground is in nearby Cleethopes)
Ned Glover from Emmerdale is a local, and Julie Peasgood of Brookside is local too.
The bass player from Gene, and the bird from Swing Out Sister are local too.
The fish and chips are the best, but apart from that there's one road in and one road out, and its a shithole in the winter.
Apologies for the boredom
As a genaralisation – Hull is a macho chav town with a population bigger than that of Middlesborough, Southampton, Portsmouth, Leicester, Notinghgham (guess) Bristol (guess) e.g.
Biggest council estate in Britain (Bransholme)
Gay capital! I cant see it – not renowned for being cosmopolitan or forward thinking!
