:rolleyes: Not a very nice place to live, locals are very ignorant ,only speak to you when they want to know something. Car crime and drugs are bad, bad, bad. 9 out of 10 fires are arson and unemployment twice the national average. Do your self a favour dont go there!

I think your comments could be said of areas in many towns around the UK. You obviously didn't know the places to go. No I don't live in Grimsby or that area but I do know the town and think generalisations like that aren't helpful to anyone. On a positive note yes you can get excellant cheap fresh fish in Grimsby I would recommend Superior seafoods near the docks. There are many excellent fish and chip shops further into Cleethorpes and Humberstone.

You obviously didn't take the time to take a closer look at Grimsby. I actually think it a fairly nice place to live! Granted, there are areas of the town which I stay well clear of, but I feel a million times safer up here than when I visit my family down south. Im originally a southener, only moved up here 4 years ago, but many of the other big towns and cities have taken a much more dramatic turn for the worst. Whats it like in your part of paradise???

here we are a year later. I,ve lived in Immingham...about 10 miles outside grimsby and things were as bad here as they were purported to be in Grimsby but things are improving here as well. I, like nol193 are from dahn sarth and have been here 5 years. People ARE pulling together,last years floods are testament to that, companies are willing to invest in the area...new schools...stadiums...shops etc it takes time and wont happen overnight. This part of paradise is starting to look pretty damn good thankyou.
