Grimsby boy moves to the States.

[dessiato]

Those from Grimsby (or nearby) should organise an outing where so we can all visit and get drunk.

I'm up for that.

Next week I'm going to, hopefully, buy a caravan in Cleethorpes. There'll be a base.

The train fare isn't too bad - about 45 quid return, although could probably get it cheaper by splitting tickets.

We are going to look at two. One sleeps 4 or 6, the other 6 or 8.

Did anyone else look at the thread title and think "huh, I never knew petee was originally from Grimsby" or was that just me?

Just you. I knew he was from Coney Island or Rockaway Beach, or somewhere else in a song. Chelsea Hotel, maybe.

 

[JimW]

Bet loads of people from Grimsby have been to Boston. Probably Spalding too.

 

[hash tag]

I know nothing about Grimsby.

There might be a clue in the name of the town

I'm up for that.

The only thing I know is the film with Sacha Baron Cohen and I don’t believe it was a true reflection of life there

wiki says,

A number of residents of Grimsby were upset with Baron Cohen for negative stereotypes portraying their town as a rubbish-strewn, violent ghetto in which drunks urinate from windows and mothers hand children cans of beer in the street.

We had a look around a few places on The Fitties last year but need to sell our house first.

I'm not sure about the Fitties. They're very expensive for what they are. If they were 12 month occupancy that would be different.

They are pricey, yeah. We stayed in one for a week at Xmas and really enjoyed being seconds from the beach.

Room and garden for the dogs and, for the right property, the holiday rental value can be good.

There’s a big new development planned at Pleasure Island/Leisure Park/The Zoo (showing my age) and I’m not sure how to ya going to affect things.

My parents are still in Cleethorpes, but are getting on a bit, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a long term thing.

Freeman Street has a concentration of boozers where trawlermen would stream their wages up the wall. A fun atmos on a good night; misery, violence and despair mostly, though.

Could give it a go?

Its where he developed his love of seagulls.

Was hard to tell the scale of this at first glance - looked like it could been 100 feet tall but I think it's closer to 10

I initially thought it might be Petee in the video

 

[pesh]

i just spent the last week in Grimsby. Banging fish and chips and every third building is a pub. whats not to like.

 

[BristolEcho]

I've actually wanted to visit Grimsby for a while. I doubt I'll make it but if you do meet let me know.

 

[petee]

I'm learning

You really need to come to blighty for an urban meet - we'll get you shitfaced.

Why?

 

[BristolEcho]

Why?

For a holiday.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Been for the football but that's actually Cleethorpes isn't it?

Although funnily enough Cleethorpes Town FC are actually in Grimsby.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

So when is the Grimsby urban meet happening then dessiato? You'll need to book it with reasonable notice to give petee the chance to book his travel across the Atlantic.

Perhaps I need to move there sooner rather than later then.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Does Grimsby have an international airport by the way? We might need to give petee complicated directions if he has to land somewhere else and travel across the country.
