“please don’t you be insulting to the people of Grimsby by saying it is an awful place to live.”
Firstly you make the assumption when I said “I used to live in Grimsby (awful place to live)” I was referring to the people and not the area.
Grimsby as a place to live is awful, if it doesn’t smell like a dead fish it smells like an open sewer and when that’s not an issue there’s the smells from the industrial pollution from parts of the town (oil refinery) that burns the back of your throat!!!
There’s a football field right near the industrial estate and when we lived there (4 years ago) it was grey from industrial pollution! Fortunately we lived a mile away from the main pollution, but it was still a health issue.
My wife developed asthma after moving to Grimsby which cleared up (99% clear, still has the odd issue) about 2 years after moving away. While we lived there she had regular asthma attacks!
Some of the people in Grimsby are awful, but then that’s true of everywhere. Bigger a place more likely you’ll come across the dregs of society and Grimsby has it’s fair share.
During a neighbour dispute (neighbours boyfriend who was drunk) I was bit on the back of my head and if it wasn’t for being able to defend myself, I’d have been in real trouble, he tried to kick me in the face and stamp on my head while I was down! Fortunately I got the upper hand and he came off much worse, he got a broken nose for his troubles, I had a few minor bruises and scuffs and a bite mark on my head (what sort of man bites in a fight!!!).
The neighbour started the fight, but the Grimsby police dropped my complaint because they couldn’t catch him in when they called to talk to him and the police used the excuse it was my word against his (they never even spoke to him)!
Same neighbour, visiting kid caused trouble and I told him to pack it in, next thing I know I have his dad who was just out of prison at the door with friends looking to “sort me out”. Police came out, nothing happened.
The street next to where we lived was locally called “murder mile”.
Grimsby is an awful place to live. My opinion and I’m not changing it or apologetic for it either.
Thankfully my business was doing well and we bought a house in a better area. If you think Grimsby is a nice place to live, good for you, I have higher standards.
