It’s well documented that people with an affinity to Grimsby have trouble with names. Hopefully the mnemonic below will help in the future...

SHUTES, STOCKWOOD & PETTIT:


Tom Shutes - think of a ‘shute’ down from the second tier to the fifth tier of English football, which is what the outgoing regime presided over. Add a Grimsby ‘S’. This is the only part of the trinity where you CAN ADD A GRIMSBY ‘s’!!!
Note: there is no ‘c’ in Shutes. He’s not German, Dutch, South African etc


Jason Stockwood - imagine you’ve been banging away like Gary Childs on the floor of the Main Stand during a pre-corner build up. Your foot goes through the rotten oak.  Embarrassed, you ask around for ideas. Grimsby Pete chirps up, “Go and see Jason, he’s your flooring expert”. To which you reply, “Does Jason stock wood?”. Note, there is no Grimsby ‘s’ anywhere.


Andrew Pettit - it’s the late 90s. Lads, lads, lads. You’re in Pier 39 when a busty brunette from Binbrook staggers over to you, all billowing baps, WKD breath and RAF blue tongue. Ian Holloway takes over the story, “Hubble bubble, toil and trouble...I am the West Country Gollum...to put it in gentleman's terms, if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled. And at that age, in that age, all the boys want to do is pet t1t. Note there is no Grimsby ‘s’, you were a gentlemen and were happy with one udder on a first date”.  

Note also that Pettit has a t x 3. T x 2 gives you Petit which is French for small or a ponytailed 90s French midfielder.

Hope this helps

So Shute, Sockwoods and Petites it is then.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Schuteses, Stockswoodses and Petittses.

The Grimsby 's' is the weirdest linguistic trait ever. Why is it so specific to Grimsby? Anything to do with Cleethorpes, but there being Cleethorpe Rd in Grimsbys?

Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

My ex mother in law HAD to say Waitroses.

As a kid I couldn't understand how Asdas had signs that said 'Asda'

Another Grim(s)barian superfluous consonant is the R in ‘ammonia’. Do people still refer to it as armonia?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Just making a note.......Grimbarian Superfluous Consonant is going to be the title of my new progressive rock concept album. Or is that progressives rock?
