George williams

Quoted from Son of Cod

What year(s) was this, that you were there? IT was an absolute farce when I was there (95-00). Class of 30 with only ever enough PCs for 10 people so it was 2 to a computer with everyone else on a table in the middle. This was back when your mouse had a ball inside it and pretty much every ball had been stolen so you had to stick your finger in and use the rollers to navigate around. They installed Encarta as well on all the computers so it was speakers on full blast and animals noises and the opening bars to Changes by David Bowie or some Grandmaster Flash song every 5 seconds. Absolute bedlam. Think I scraped an E in IT.

There's never been a White Lion in the marketplace though...unless The George was briefly called that or it was before my time. There's a White Swan and a Red Lion but neither are in the marketplace. Coach and Horses has been bought by a local who is converting the building into flats too. Apparently that Thai you mention is absolutely lovely. Tiny inside, apparently they can only seat a few parties at one time and the menu is really small but I think it's actually a Thai person doing the cooking.


Hahahaha brilliant. I bet is was flipping Burnsy that pushed that through. Has to be a Hull school that wins.

I assume you mean Dave Burns if that is the case then why? Seeing as he is from south of the Humber.

Quoted from Kris2

I'm sure it's fine if you're a certain kind of person (About 80 years old or a bit carny/hippie like most of the young families that move there or grew up there) and don't mind all the local yokels. Just avoid Hubbard's Hills at night where the younger ones drink cheap wine,take drugs and sleep with their cousins.

I'd advise the future Mrs Williams to avoid Louth as she might be too grossed out.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

I’m 50 years old and have a young family, my kids, wife and me love it at Louth, My lad has a job in Louth (at a local school) Louth has great leisure facilities, A cinema, Nice eateries and an outdoor market, the shops aren’t as varied as Grimsby but it has all one would need.

There are a lot of people living in Louth who are quite wealthy (especially near the church area) so why would they choose to live in Louth if it’s as bad as you state?

Like I said previously Louth does have its problems but nowhere near like what you suggest, I’ve actually witnessed problems (usually kids speeding in cars around the high street area) but its quite rare, I think Louth has a lot to offer for most individuals or families.
