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

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?

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

The linguistic foible that winds me up is the confusion of 'of' with 'have'.
But I am not one to talk. My spelling is atrocious and I must be the worst typist, in the world. I type like I am wearing boxing gloves.
Thank god I can edit my posts before anyone sees them.
Otherwise my reputation could of really suffered.

Probably from abbreviated speech - would've, could've, should've etc. Makes it sound like 'of''

We remember most things well after we have heard them or seen them a few times. I suppose somebody could do a post with the names in the title and then every time we look at the fishy forum we see them. Thank you KAFV I will never forget those names again.

I was a witness at my sisters wedding, when signing the marriage certificate and asked for her occupation, her response was “housewife and muvva”.
I had to lean in and tell the vicar not to write it with 2 Vs.

And then we have the dropped 't' where Waitroses becomes Wai..roses
The gap should be pronounced in a guttural manner somewhere between a grunt and the noise a cat makes when it's coughing up a fur ball.

Yes, my parents too. They also said sim- a-terry when referring to a cemetery. I suppose these pronunciations can be considered part of a form of local dialect.

Perhaps this exists in just my close circle of (admittedly odd) friends but I'm also aware of a unique pronunciation feature among Grimbarians.
A lot of them (maybe me, too) seem to throw in a bit of a 'v' sound out where it's not needed, e.g.
'Gvrimsby' or 'bvread' or 'bvridge'. Either way, it's not a 'clean' 'Gr' or 'br' sound. Can't help but notice that Jason Stockwood displays elements of this in the way he speaks. Listen closely; you'll know what I mean:
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iaeOx-TRrche[/url].
Also my missus noticed that me and my mates also tend to pronounce it as 'Grinsby' rather than Grimsby.
Or Gvrinsby.

Now you’ve mentioned it, no 😉 Actually I think I do. I think it’s because of the tendency to not open the mouth very much when speaking. My old man used to do it though I never noticed the ‘v’ thing (it was just normal pronunciation to me). Think it comes with having to bike it to werk down dock (we didn’t have a cagh) where it’s too cold to open your mouth much 😄. I remember watching something by an actress teaching people how to do different British accents and she did one from the east coast of Scotland, where she originated. They had a similar thing going on with the mouth hardly opening.

It’s missing the Batho, though I suppose that ceased to be a thing in about 1980.
