Salford and Manchester bigger but basically the same


I’ve always considered Salford a [large] suburb of Manchester, rather than the two places being equals in the way that Grimsby and Cleethorpes are.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Born and bred in Cleethorpes now living in Waltham. When I'm out of town, I always tell people I'm from Grimsby. Most folk have either heard of the football club or Kevin Clifton 😂

Exactly, Salford is a city but I think of it as Manchester. I'm from Cleethorpes but tell everybody I'm from Grimsby because I consider them to be the same place

Born Croft Baker, lived Grimsby (Saltburn Grove?)  till I was about one I think then brought up in Scunny, left when I was about 21 to get hitched in The Potteries. I usually say I am from Scunny if people ask and although Town mad I just don't have a special affinity for Grimsby or Cleethorpes as a place having never really lived there.

Born just off Park Street on the Cleethorpes side, about 100 yards from the border with GY. Moved to GY for about 6 years in my first house, then moved back to Clee.

I now live off Clee Road, which feels more like Cleethorpes than the house I was born in off Park Street, but is actually in Grimsby. I live closer to the seafront now than I did as a child, yet the postcode shows I'm in GY.

When people ask me where I'm from, I say Grimsby usually, because it's often more easily recognised than Cleethorpes.

Grimsby born and bred and proud of it, I live out of Grimsby now but visit regularly, I have been ridiculed over the years many times  about it (being a Grimbarian) I work in Lincoln LSCC now with a majority of them I work with  being Lincoln fans, they do take the pee out of the town but respect me for following my team through thick and thin, it’s just friendly banter ,  they are all a good bunch really.


Grimsby and proud!

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY
I always say Grimsby as the majority of the people over here on the Emerald Isle have never heard of cleethorpes. And even then I have to try and explain whereabouts it is!


Cleethorpes is next to Grimsby which is a million miles from Scunthorpe
