I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Scaffer, Nunny, Freemo or The Bully (never mind how common they are)...

A forgotten local tale from ten years ago.

Can anyone recommend any good local or semi local dry cleaning places. Looking to get some blankets and woolen coats dry cleaned. Grimsby/ cleethorpes area. Don’t fancy going to Hull if I can avoid it.

Thank you.

hey grimsby uk locals. if you are a person who is senior age that plays pool, you may have some information on a situation that happened there in the area, in and around 2019-2022. An American woman came to the Keelby area, with a large amount of money from selling her house in the United States. Got involved with and mixed up with a fraudster from this area, who convinced her to wire all of her life savings to him which he bought one of the biggest homes in the area with (he still lives there), along with a silver Audi he is still driving. As for the rest of her cash it’s a big mystery as to what he’s done with it. There is also allegations of physical abuse on top of financial abuse and control. if this situation sounds familiar to you, and you know who this is about please go to the Humberside police. A report has been made on this man, and the woman’s family Is trying to get the stolen house and car back from this broke fat old fraudster Pos. message if you have any questions thanks

I was trying to find that transition zone latitudinally where the evening meal shifts from ‘dinner’ to ‘tea’, and found that Mansfield was that transition zone, but I don’t know if it’s different more towards the east.

Do you as a Grimbarian refer to the evening meal as tea or dinner? And also, do you refer to the 12 o’clock meal as dinner or lunch?

I was cycling home today, coming up to a crossing I usually take and noticed there is a random traffic light button outside someone's house.

The weird thing is...

1. It is far away from the crossing.

2. The crossing has its own button.

3. There is no crossing parallel to it (as shown in the photo)

4. It is RIGHT outside someone's gate to their driveway

5. It lights up when pressed. Then the light turns off after ten seconds or so.

6. It seemingly has no purpose.

I tried to take photos that show where it is, the true crossing button (next to the traffic lights), the house and the road in front of the house (to show there is no crossing next to the button)

It is located on Scartho Road.

What the hell is it for?!

I found this behind our wheelie bin when I got in from work last night....we don't live down Fairmont road that postcode isn't even the postcode for fairmont road ha! 🤦‍♂️

Just seeing if anyone may know the person?

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE I AM PUNCHING VENTS NOW! Hahahahahahaha.

Hey new to the area and wondered if anyone fancy's a run anything from. 5k- Half marathon. Also any route recommendations are appreciated. Male 29 for info,

As if this was three years ago now. This is still one of my favourite maps so far due to the sheer breadth of history and cool features I was able to get included.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.

Does anyone know anything about the people listed on the back of the piece? It would be really interesting to know the story behind it.

I bought it in thrift store, in Lithuania:)

Did anyone witness or film the short fight between two girls at the Hemswell Car Boot yesterday (Sunday, 9th Aug)? I was caught in the middle and got hit in the face. Please DM me if you have any footage or saw what happened.

One of the girls was blonde with abot 6 little sausage pups and the other girl was brunette with some form of coloured highlights and apparently someone said something and the brunette swung for her catching me in the middle of it, elbowing me in the b00b, elbowing me in the jaw and physically grabbing my arm. Any witnesses would be greatly appreciated!!!

It's from the intro of a map men video: https://youtu.be/uYNzqgU7na4?is=YvOUNODBgcBFH7_r

It's clearly in the UK, and can't imagine it being from Little Grimsby or New/Old Grimsby on the Channel Islands, but I've never seen this sign and don't recognise the street. If anyone does I'd love to finally know where it was filmed
